Chidiebere Aneke, one-half of the Aneke identical twins, has said she doesn’t feel pressured to start a family despite being 36-year-old.
The Enugu-born actress stated this in a recent interview while speaking about her career, love life, and plans to have children.
“I have never been under pressure to have a child. I have also never heard that some women get pressurised to have children, unmarried. It depends on the people one associates with anyway,” she said.
When asked about her romantic life, she did not clearly reveal her relationship status but she did say her ideal partner is one who is trustworthy and honest.
Chidiebere Aneke said:
“The qualities I desire in my partner are honesty and a good conscience. If a person has a good conscience, they won’t hurt their partners. It is not accurate to say that it is usually difficult for actresses to find true love, because some men desire to be with them due to their fame and wealth. Anybody saying that is not being truthful. Love is a beautiful thing, and when a lady’s path crosses that of the right man for her, everything will fall into place. However, I have never lost a relationship because of the kind of job I do.”
On if she has experienced sexual harassment in the Nollywood film industry, as several of her coworkers have reported, she responded,
“My experience over the years has been great and wonderful. It has not been easy and I am still learning. But, I thank God for everything.
There are some people that come online to say that producers asked them for sex before they could be given roles in their movies. However, no one has personally come to report such an incident to me.
What I will advise as the way forward is that people who say producers ask them for sex should stop going to the producers’ rooms, when they don’t have anything to do there. Whenever there are calls for auditions, these actresses should not go in through the back door.”
