Actress Sandra Okunzuwa: Ex ended relationship over her on‑screen kiss

Nollywood actress and producer Sandra Okunzuwa explained that her former boyfriend ended their relationship after he was shown a scene from a film in which she kissed a male co‑star.

In a recent episode of the BTS Reality podcast, Okunzuwa described how the ex-boyfriend reacted to a movie clip that she had sent him. He allegedly broke up with her because of the on‑screen kiss.

The actress said that her ex was insecure about the situation, noting that actors typically do not enjoy kissing each other on set due to the filming environment and the presence of crew members.

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

“On‑screen 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.

She urged the public to remember that actors portray characters on screen and not their real selves.

The actress also stressed the importance of keeping private lives separate from professional ones.
