My experiences with fans -Kunle Da-Silva
One of Yoruba Nollywood’s most successful actors, Kunle Da-Silva, has revealed some of his experiences with movie fans.
“I’ve walked on the streets and my clothes were almost torn to shreds. People will want to greet you. Imagine a scenario where people you see on the road, expect you to know them, and if you don’t greet them, they will just start accusing you, we buy your films, we watch your films, you don’t want to greet us.
“But how would I know who watches my films at home? So you have to be very cautious when you are out, you have to smile and greet everybody.
“At times, they will walk up to you and say, I’ve bought your movie, I must collect money from you. But they don’t know it’s not like that, so I don’t blame them. It’s the situation in the country.
“People will want to collect money from you all the time. They’ll watch a movie that I’ve acted in several years ago, that I’ve collected my money even before going on set, I’ve spent the money, you’ll now see me and say because you watched so-so movie, I must give you money, so I’ll say okay, take what I have. But we don’t give all the time. Only if you approach us sensibly, then we respond sensibly.”
