Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw granted an interview
with Adunola Oladapo recently, she emphasized on the issues they are having in
the movie industry, she also talked about her personal life etcetera. Read
excerpts below:
What
inspired your new dreadlocks hairstyle?
It’s not dreadlocks, I keep explaining to people.
These are natural twists. On my last birthday, I decided to make a lot of
changes in my life. I decided to reclaim my hair because I really had lovely
hair growing up, and the first time relaxer ever touched my hair was when I was
in the university.
After years of using too much chemical on it, I
decided to just make a complete turnaround. Now, my hair is healthy, it’s long,
it’s lovely. And I would never let relaxer touch it again. I don’t fix
artificial nails again. I’m back to natural nails. I just put on some
long-lasting polish. I fixed my nails for over 10 years but I’m tired of it
now. I want to be healthy in my old age.
See more after the cut...
Your
divorce came as a shock to a lot of people. Why did you take that decision?
Shock? Have you not heard that Seal and Heidi (Klum)
have divorced? Haven’t you seen people who have been married for 20 to 25 years
and divorced? I’m not perfect; no one is. We all have our low moments. It
doesn’t mean I’m a failure. Everybody goes through bad patches in life. Life
must go on, whether we like it or not. It’s always better to part under good
circumstances than for someone to be in jail, or die, or to be hurling insults
at each other. There is no need for that.
It
seems you don’t regret your divorce, because you always have this cheerful
look?
It’s God. Looking back at my life, where I came
from, I never even thought I would be an actress. I never even thought I would
have an opportunity to meet people, to be a role mode. So, it’s not for me to
feel self-pity. I’m grateful to God every single day. I choose to be happy. I
am a happy person. Someone encouraged me with these words yesterday: ‘Every
problem you have will resolve and dissolve’. So, my divorce is not the end of
life and my God has given me cheer and joy. That explains why I am always happy
and cheerful. No regrets.
Will
you remarry?
I am not sure about remarrying but I will love
again. I’m a lover, not a fighter. I’m only going to be very choosy. I don’t
know about marriage, but, maybe, love.
You’ve
kept your daughter away from the limelight. Is this deliberate?
Yes. You want them to kidnap my daughter? When they
see her picture, then they will know who she is. I remember somebody sent a
card to me through her school and I was so surprised. They just dropped it on
her desk and I was wondering how the person knew my daughter attends that
school. Should she decide to step into the limelight later on, that would be
her call, not mine. I’ve managed to keep her away and I’m sure I’ve done a good
job. Now she is not even in the country and its better she schools there.
