Saturday, May 16, 2026 -Nollywood actress and producer Sandra Okunzuwa has recounted how her ex-boyfriend broke up with her for kissing an actor in a movie.
Speaking in a recent episode of the BTS Reality podcast,
Okunzuwa recalled that her ex ended their relationship after someone allegedly
sent him a movie scene in which she kissed a male colleague.
The movie star said her ex-boyfriend was insecure for
breaking up with her over an onscreen kiss, stressing that actors do not enjoy
kissing each other on set because of the shooting environment and conditions.
“When actors kiss while filming, there are about 20 people
watching them, and instructions are also being dished out to them. Even the AC
will be turned off, and the director will be monitoring and instructing them
all the way through. So how can anyone be in the mood or turned on in such
conditions and environment?” she asked.
“Onscreen kisses are not even enjoyable. If it is possible
for them to be scrapped and viewers will still enjoy movies, then I am in
support. Romantic scenes affect our personal relationships because some
partners might get jealous.
“I once lost a relationship because someone sent my
ex-boyfriend a scene from a movie where I kissed an actor. At the time, I felt
his reaction came from a place of insecurity. But honestly, it is not easy. I
don’t blame people who say they can’t date actors because everyone has to
choose what they can tolerate in a partner,” Okunzuwa stated.
She, however, urged the public to bear in mind that actors
play characters on screen and not their real selves.
The movie star emphasised that it is important for actors to
separate their private lives from their professional lives.
