“He Left Me Over an Onscreen Kiss” — Sandra Okunzuwa Opens Up on Breakup

Nollywood actress Sandra Okunzuwa has revealed that a former boyfriend ended their relationship after seeing a movie scene where she kissed a fellow actor.

Speaking on the BTS Reality podcast, Okunzuwa said someone sent the clip to her ex, which reportedly triggered the breakup.

She described his reaction as insecurity, explaining that actors do not necessarily enjoy kissing scenes because of the stressful conditions on movie sets.

According to her, onscreen intimacy is part of the job and should not be taken personally

“When actors kiss while filming, there are about 20 people watching them, and instructions are also being dished out to them. Even the AC will be turned off, and the director will be monitoring and instructing them all the way through. So how can anyone be in the mood or turned on in such conditions and environment?” she asked.

“Onscreen kisses are not even enjoyable. If it is possible for them to be scrapped and viewers will still enjoy movies, then I am in support. Romantic scenes affect our personal relationships because some partners might get jealous. 

“I once lost a relationship because someone sent my ex-boyfriend a scene from a movie where I kissed an actor. At the time, I felt his reaction came from a place of insecurity. But honestly, it is not easy. I don’t blame people who say they can’t date actors because everyone has to choose what they can tolerate in a partner,” Okunzuwa stated.
