Fast rising actress and entrepreneur, Adeniji Kehinde a.k.a Abefe Saint opens up on her acting journey, favourite qualities in a man amogst other issues in this interview with TheNewsGuru
Childhood ambitions
I wanted to become a medical doctor and a scientist. I love to discover new things a lot. I love discovering new things and people
First movie
I actually cannot remember the first movie I acted in. But I can recall that ‘Ebi Aye’ was one of the first five movies I featured in alongside the likes of Lola Idije.
Parents
My parents are supportive of my career. I started acting because of my father. He wasn’t an actor but a member of the crew, a set man. At times he appears on camera, but he was more of a setman and director. I started acting because of him.
Lessons
I am a fashion designer, a chef, a nutritionist and an actor. I have experiences and I have learnt many things from such experiences. What I think is the most important thing is self-value. The way you carry yourself and value yourself is the same way people will value you.It is better to respect yourself.
Challenges
I started very young, so I really didn’t experience much challenges. Except for a time when I played the role of a dullard . I am actually smart in real life. I had to prove myself back in school in order for people not to have that impression. and I came out in flying colours.
Attention
Even if I cover all of my body, people still stare at me .The whole of my body parts gets me attention. But my boobs and bum gets me the most attention.
Favourite qualities in a man
I want a man that respects me and an understanding man. He must be loyal to me, respect me and be my number one fan.
Compensation in Nollywood
Some people are really making it big in the industry. I haven’t really been making money from the industry like that. I have other businesses that I run. God has been faithful and things have been going fine.
