Nigerian actress Sophia Chisom, popularly known as Soso, has ignited a fresh discussion in Nollywood circles after sharing her professional approach to filming intimate scenes, particularly on-screen kisses.
In a recent candid interview gaining traction online, the actress addressed growing industry debates about romantic scenes, emphasizing that these moments should be treated as technical performances rather than personal exchanges.
Soso revealed her strict professional boundaries during such scenes, explaining that she keeps physical interaction minimal to maintain comfort while still delivering convincing performances.
The actress’ remarks come as a direct response to fellow performers who’ve publicly questioned why on-screen kisses often lack genuine passion or enjoyment.
She stressed that for her, these scenes represent purely professional obligations, and any expectation of personal gratification misses the fundamental purpose of acting – to create believable fiction while respecting personal boundaries.
Her perspective contrasts with recent statements from some colleagues, including frequent co-star Saga Adeolu, who have expressed dissatisfaction with the mechanical nature of romantic scenes in Nollywood productions.
