‘I used to borrow Sikiratu Sindodo’s clothes to look classy in movies’ – Funke Akindele
Renowned Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has revealed that she once borrowed clothes from her colleague, Sikiratu Sindodo, to appear stylish on movie sets.
She shared this while reflecting on her challenges before achieving success in the industry.
Currently on vacation in Ghana with Eniola Badmus and content creator Kamo, Akindele expressed her desire to use her experiences to inspire others.
In a viral video posted on her Snapchat, she also credited Sikiratu Sindodo and Iyabo Ojo for playing significant roles in her career growth.
Recounting her humble beginnings during a conversation with her best friend, Eniola Badmus, she said, “They didn’t give us any roles. One of those men, I just keep looking at him, but I won’t mention his name.
“I remember back then when I used to borrow dresses from Tayo Sindodo. Sindodo would help me choose nice ones from her tops if I was going to a movie set.
“There was a day when Sindodo saw me carrying a bag after I wasn’t given a role, and she went to meet Uncle Abbey to fight for me. Iyabo Ojo was lucky and very nice to us. Iyabo would say, ‘Don’t worry,’ and she would drive us around in her small red car. We found solace in one another. That’s how we became friends. Iyabo used to stand up and fight for me.”
