How did you come into acting?

I auditioned for a TV series and got the lead role. It was my first role. But I couldn’t take acting serious because of school. I only became serious in 2010 after graduating and doing my national service.

I come from a family of four children. I’m the third and the only girl. My father is a staunch Christian and a disciplinarian. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Information Studies and Geography in 2009 from the University of Ghana; I’m from the Volta Region.

What’s your exact place of origin? Are your parents from the same place?

Why do Ghanaian films contain many sensual scenes? Is it deliberate to show how sex-crazy Ghanaians can be? What’s your opinion?

Why did you choose Jim Iyke to act in your movie? What role did he play?

Jim played the role of Kamal, one of my character’s love interests in the movie. After writing the script, I short listed four actors who could play the part but Jim came out tops because he is a seasoned performer. And after we started filming, I was happy I chose him. He fits the role perfectly. I also featured Eku Edewor and Pierra Makena from Kenya in the movie.

Will you act in a blue film for $1million?

No, I won’t. Ex-rate films and blue films are for porn actresses and I’m not a porn actress.
