Fast-rising Yoruba movie star actress Abolanle Abdulsalam
has said that she abhors unnecessary attention and razzmatazz that is
common in the showbiz industry.
Pretty Abolanle, who
has been in the industry and contributed significantly to the growth of
her sector of the industry said she shuns vain glory and values her
family name and her privacy.
“I am a very simple and
inquisitive person. That is why I keep a low profile. I have to protect
my name and dignity of my family. Not that I don’t like the razzmatazz
of the industry but acting has been one of the major sources of my
happiness, I enjoy it without having to attract all those tales
surrounding the profession,” Abolanle said.
She
added that the late Alade Aromire, who was her mentor, taught her and
her colleagues who passed through him that “we don’t have to go out of
our way in the name of making it big as an actor or being famous in the
industry. But we should work hard and that hard work would speak well
for us. And that has been my philosophy and it has been really working
for me.”
Abolanle, a native of Ekiti State, is a
graduate of History and International Relations from Lagos State
University. She grew up in a family of eight and started her journey
into the make-believe world from the English sector of Nollywood before
she met the late Alade Aromire.
The mother of one has
produced four movies including Itakun Ife, Oba Adetoyese, Kosenitoye and
Aturota. She is currently working on the script of her fifth movie.
