Ace Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde also known as Omosexy, has finally shared why she takes periodic breaks in the film industry.
Her recent revelation follows a series of questions; she said her curious fans kept asking if she had abandoned her acting career.
In an Instagram post on her official page, on Sunday, September 8, Omotola revealed that her deliberate breaks were to help her rejuvenate and be better at her acting game.
“I know many don’t understand why I take time off from movies for a few years and then come back again. I have seen fans asking when i’ll return to the screen, but when you have been working since age 15 like I have,
you will understand the need to relax, relive, relearn and recharge. Who gets it and who is following? I visited Nigeria in December last year and left in March after filming two movies in February.” The 46-year-old actress said.
