Why Marriage Scares Me – Actress Kiitan Bukola

Nollywood actress Kiitan Bukola opens up about her fears of marriage, sharing personal experiences and societal pressures that have influenced her perspective.

Nollywood actress Kiitan Bukola has opened up about her personal struggles and how her childhood experiences have shaped her perspectives on marriage.

In an interview with Biola Bayo, the actress disclosed that although she is fond of the concept of marriage, she has apprehensions about it because of her strong aspiration to create a stable and loving environment for her future children.

Bukola explained that her concerns originate from growing up without her father present.

She revealed that her father had numerous children, many of whom she has never met and some connections were only established through online platforms.

“The lack of paternal love and care has profoundly affected me,” she revealed, reflecting on how these experiences have influenced her dreams and worries regarding family life.

The actress’s sincere revelations highlight the emotional challenges she is still facing, as she works to break the cycle and foster a nurturing environment for her future family.

“There are some of my father’s children whom I haven’t met. Interestingly, I’ve encountered a few online. Growing up, I missed the kind of parental care and love that comes from having both parents together in a nurturing home environment. This absence often pains me because I didn’t get to experience it fully,” she expressed.

The actress also reflected on her modest beginnings, sharing memories of selling pounded yam and efo soup at Sabo in Ondo State during her childhood.

“I used to sell pounded yam and efo in the past. I would wake up at 3:30 a.m. because we needed to take it to Sabo in Ondo town,” she shared.
