Unlike many other actresses in Nollywood, October 1 star, Kehinde Bankole has managed to steer clear of scandals.
According to her, it is a deliberate strategy. She said to Sunday Scoop, “Apart from the fact that I’m a homely person, I am also very careful about the kinds of places I go and the people that I associate with. I have my family name to protect and I wouldn’t want to attract mud to the good name I’ve laboured to build over the years.”
The actress also maintained that fame hasn’t changed anything about her. “Being in the public glare has not robbed me of anything. I still live like the girl-next-door and I don’t let all the glitz and glamour get to my head. People who know me from way back will tell you that I’m still the same.”
On the people she deems if fit to refer to as role models, Bankole said, “I have a lot of people that I admire for one thing or the other though there’s nobody that I want to be like. However, I love Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian and Kunle Afolayan.”
