Veteran Yoruba actress Yetunde Wunmi has opened up about the sacrifices she made for her acting career.

Reflecting on her nearly 40-year experience in the film industry, Yetunde Wunmi revealed that her marriage ended because of her deep passion for acting.
“I cannot forget Adelove. He brought the stage drama to Danjuma film close to where I lived then. He wore all white that day and came with a white car.
“Everybody ran towards him and I also went closer to make sure I touched his clothes. I was very happy. I felt like I touched a gold. That was when I developed interest in theatre.
“I lost my marriage due to my love for this theatre. But I never regretted being an actress since then because God has been gracious to me.”
