Popular Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has shared that she cries in private despite her “Minister of Happiness” public persona. She recently had her say during an interview with CNN, and fans have been reacting.
Admitting that her failed marriages have made her question herself in the past, Funke stated that the bad experiences have helped her become more intentional about self-care, dressing well and spending time with loved ones.
The filmmaker added that prioritising her mental health has been a deliberate choice for many years.
Her words, “I cry. I lock myself in the room, cry, break down, hit the bed. But I just pick up myself and come back to life.
Sometimes I tell myself, ah, you’ve made a mistake again. How are people going to judge you? Do you care about that? Why don’t you just brace up, face it, face the challenges, move on in life.
I’ve noticed over the years that it’s not all about the work. You need to take care of yourself. You need to love yourself. You need to have time for your family, your loved ones, because as the work would go, the family would be there.”
