Bidemi Kosoko
With all the advantages being the daughter of an actor provides, it
doesn’t save you totally from the bashing of the public, truth is,
nothing physical can save you.
In a recent Playground interview with Nollywood actress, Bidemi Kosoko who also happens to be the daughter of Nollywood veteran Jide Kosoko,
she revealed that she has greatly benefited from the fact that her
father is a veteran in the industry. The popularity of her father gave
her early rise to fame as most people recommended her or preferred to
use her when they needed a child actor.
This
fame, of course, isn’t loved by a lot of people, hence the actress
revealed that they hated her for it. According to the actress, some
people might just see you and for no reason, they will start giving you
attitude just because she is “Omo Jide Kosoko”.
But
like the actress said, she doesn’;t care and one of the reasons she
doesn’t care about the negative attitude directed at her is because
these people are upcoming actors who feel she’s hiding under her
father’s covering, but then again, they probably do not understand the
hard work she invests in this craft of hers to ensure she is commended
not for her father’s sake but for her individual contribution
