Actress Eucharia Anunobi has
revealed that her father never liked her line of work and he almost disowned
her for wanting to become an actress.
The actress who spoke with our media Sunday Scoop revealed how it was
like walking her path alone at first.
She said, “The first time my father
saw me modeling, he said I wanted to bring shame to the Anunobi family. He told
me he would disown me if I didn’t do what he wanted. We fought over this for a
long time but he didn’t succumb to my desire. When he told me to fill an
employment form after my National Youth Service Corps, I refused.”
The actress, however, admitted, that
she wouldn’t blame her father for refusing to allow her to pursue a career in
entertainment. She said, “At that time, most entertainers were into drugs; they
didn’t represent the industry well. Whenever I remember my father’s drama, I
don’t blame him for his action. I am sure that some people can associate with
what I am saying because back then, parents didn’t want their children to go
into entertainment.
“However, I was a graduate already
and I was determined not to bring shame to my family. I used to go out secretly
for auditions because I wasn’t supposed to be seen outside my house after 7 pm.
I only received my father’s blessing after I featured in the movie, Glamour
Girls, and I showed him an award I got in London.”
The path to fame is truly not
an easy one but Eucharia has shown she is still standing strong. Even with the
loss of her son, the actress is still pursuing her passion-acting. She just
finished shooting another movie with Omoni Oboli and Funke Akindele Bello
titled Moms At War.
