Nollywood actor, Femi Branch moments ago, shared an emotional video on his Instagram page after he learnt of the demise of veteran actress, Bukky Ajayi.
In the short video he shared, the actor said that after he heard she had died, he took out his phone to call her only to find out that he didn’t have her number on his phone.
As shown in the video, he felt so ashamed. He then asked his fellow Nollywood colleagues to try to reach out to each other more often.
He is quoted as saying:
“I just found out that Aunty has passed on and I picked up my phone immediately to call her and I couldn’t find her number and I felt so ashamed and this is what happens to us a whole lot of times especially in this profession.
When work brings us together, we dance, we rejoice, we celebrate, we play. If you see us at that moment you would think we reach out to each other everyday and we relate so well but once we have left that location, that is it. We hardly relate with each other only to find out things about ourselves on the passages of newspapers, blogs.. We need to reach out more”he said
