I can date, marry a fan –Temitope Solaja
Actress, Temitope Solaja, aka Star Girl, is of the opinion that there is nothing wrong with dating a fan.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, she said, “There is nothing wrong with dating a fan. Are they not human beings? In as much as the person is caring and loves my job, I can definitely date or marry a fan. However, I won’t go for someone that doesn’t love my job.
“I cannot marry a man who would restrict my success. He knew I was an actress before approaching me, so why would he restrict my success? That means such a person is selfish and doesn’t appreciate what I am doing. Why would I settle down with a man that will restrict my success?”
Sharing some of the challenges she has faced in the industry, Solaja said, “The challenges I faced actually motivated me to do better. I thank God I didn’t relent. I kept pushing. God has been faithful since 2007 when I started acting. I was in my first year at the university then. My boss was Afeez Eniola and they mostly shot their movies in Oyo State. Those days, I used to carry a big box from Ijebu Ode (Ogun State) to Oyo State without having an idea of the role I would play or the number of scenes I would be appearing in. Thank God I overcame those challenges. Back then, I wasn’t being paid because they believed they were helping to build my career. Now, things are better"
