I didn't have sex with Kunle Afolayan to get ‘October 1’ role, Kehinde Bankole reveals

Popular Nollywood actress, Kehinde Bankole has come out to clear the air on the insinuations doing the rounds that she landed the big role she played in Kunle Afolayan’s ‘October 1’ movie after sleeping with the movie producer, saying it was not true.


Bankole disagreed with the notion that actresses have to sleep with producers and directors to get movie roles. Bankole said playing lead role in Afolayan’s  ‘October 1’, which won her the AMVCA Best Actress award, was made possible because she auditioned for the role. She denied sleeping with the award-winning director before clinching the role.

The actress added that she landed the role after the auditioning, imploring fans to change their thinking. Hear her: “ how would a director put an expensive investment and the fate of other staff in the hands of an actress, simply because she was good in bed?.”
