Nollywood actress and producer Sandra Okunzuwa has opened up about how a past relationship ended after her former boyfriend saw a romantic scene from one of her movies.
Speaking during a recent episode of the BTS Reality podcast, the actress explained that the relationship collapsed after someone allegedly sent her ex-boyfriend a clip showing her kissing a fellow actor on screen.
Okunzuwa described the reaction as one that stemmed from insecurity, adding that many people misunderstand what actors go through while filming intimate scenes.
“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.

She further stated that romantic scenes are often uncomfortable for actors and can create tension in their personal relationships.
“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.
