Popular actress, Destiny Etiko has made some revelations.
She said; “A fan saw me and lay on the floor screaming. She jumped up, hugged me and then went crazy right in the middle of the crowd. I felt embarrassed. Later, I got to know that she was a die-hard fan of mine.”
“The truth is that I have never craved to be famous. My mother used to take me to locations when I was little. She would have me hold her bag while she was busy acting.”
“It got to a point that my father stopped her from acting. I was very small then, I was in JSS 1. Movies take your time, you go out and come back at night, and my father did not like that idea.”
“But I remember, for three consecutive times, l helped my mum hold her bag while she was filming. But then, when I was small, I shot some movies.”
“In one of the movies, I was Pete Edochie’s daughter. But after that, my mother stopped acting and I never really yearned for acting again until I got into the university.”
“I read Marketing. While I was in school, I was only acting small, small roles. Back then, I did not consider myself a celebrity because I was still using my ‘legedes Benz’, doing my waka waka in school.”
“I was still patronising the canteen, eating food of N100, N150 or N200. I didn’t have money; I was just seeing myself as someone acting in movies. That was in 2014. I did my NYSC in 2015.”
“So, it was at the NYSC camp that I started receiving calls from different producers, saying they wanted to work with me.”
“I was like ‘really?’ That was why I redeployed from Ondo State to Enugu, my hometown. From Enugu I broke out to Asaba, which is actually the headquarters of movie-making.”
“What I will not do in the name of style is getting almost naked. But anything unique and presentable is okay by me. I love body-curve outfits because I have a very good physique.”
“Fame has not denied me of anything. You know, I am an Enugu girl and I love Abacha. I can enter anywhere and eat. It still does not stop my bank account or change the fact that my name is Destiny.”
