Actress Bisola Aiyeola has revealed that she sometimes turns down acting roles in the Nigerian film industry due to her responsibilities as a single mother. In an interview with Nollywire, the actress shared the challenges of being a single mother in Nigeria and the impact certain roles could have on her growing child.
Bisola explained, “I have a growing child, and sometimes some of the roles you take can affect her positively or negatively. Especially because she is growing… You have other children around her who have different thoughts on what their parents do, and so I have to be careful with some stories because I have to think that, in the long run, would it be a good look for my child?”
Despite the challenges, Bisola emphasized her passion for the craft and the years of hard work that have contributed to her growth in the industry. She expressed her hunger for more opportunities and her commitment to staying focused on her career.
The award-winning actress currently has several projects in the works, including the streaming series “Flawsome 2” on Showmax, “Skinny Girl In Transit” season seven on Ndani TV’s YouTube page, and the upcoming movie “Ajosepo” directed by Kayode Kasum.
Bisola Aiyeola’s openness about balancing motherhood and her career sheds light on the complexities faced by women in the entertainment industry. As she continues to navigate her journey, fans look forward to witnessing her future successes and contributions to the Nigerian film industry.
