Nollywood actress, Christabel Egbenya, has disclosed that she cannot make friends with her fellow colleagues in the industry.
The actress, who came into limelight with her role in the movie, ‘Room 202’, said what some of them do when they are not on location is to hang around and gossip about others which according to her, ‘is not nice.’
While speaking with Vanguard, Christabel also lamented that hanging around journalists tend to bring one down and certain things which are not true will be said about a person.
She said, “In the industry, when you start having a lot of friends, it brings you down, your name will get damaged and gossips will be flying.
“Gossip is the in-thing in Nollywood, apart from acting; so I like to stay on my own, when it’s time to work, we go and work. When I don’t have a job, I go back to my house and think of other things to do.”
She added that as an actress, she plans to get married some day and have a good home and as such, will not like her name to be dragged into the mud.
“If I have money and want to chill somewhere, I do that. I don’t really have time for all those coming together with other actors, sit down and gossip, because I have a future outside the industry. I plan to get married one day and have children.
“So, I like to protect my image, I don’t want all those dirty things,” she said, stating that she tries to avoid a lot of things.
