Veteran Actress Bimbo Akintola needs no much introduction, the
talented thespian has within the space of time carved a remarkable niche
for herself in the entertainment industry.
For a while, Bimbo went hiatus from the screen for reasons best known to her.
However
in a recent interview with The Punch Newspaper, the light skinned
actress talks about herself and the reasons she has been off the screen.
"It
is not a matter of rebranding! It is a matter of believing in
something. I started talking to myself that I am tired of being in every
movie that doesn’t say anything. I decided I want to be part of movies
that say something and I choose my script now. We as actors have a duty
to Nigeria, because we are known, so people use that popularity to make a
difference. So with me, I am only doing stories that mean something to
me," she said.
On how she lost so much weight, Bimbo hinted that she hits the gym everyday.
"I
just exercise, I do a lot of exercise. I am a regular person at the gym
and they would tell you that I am usually there by 5:40am. But since I
have started shooting, I have had to stop."
She also reveals her
real self: "I am a very simple person. I love my Mum to bits; she is the
most important person in my life. I have friends who have been my
friends for over 20 years. I love cooking, I love singing. I believe in
God Almighty. I like being part of younger people’s lives; I like to
help because I know that I’m not just here for show, I’m doing something
to help somebody else.
