Kiitan Bukola challenges stereotypes in movie Industry

Actress Kiitan Bukola on Sunday took a stand against the sweeping generalisation of actors based on the misconduct of a few individuals.

In her critique, she argued that it is unfair to label all actors as misfits, pointing out the inherent diversities in their backgrounds.

Despite sharing a professional identity, she emphasized that actors hail from different upbringings each with its unique nuances.

Kiitan stated that insults and assumptions should not be hurled at actors collectively, as their surnames alone signify distinct family history.

The actress underlined the importance of recognising individual differences, challenging the notion that all actors can be lumped together based on the actions of a few.

Offering a glimpse into the dynamics of the film industry, Kiitan portrayed a scenario where actors, despite being colleagues, often have limited knowledge of each other’s personal lives.

According to her perspective, the nature of the profession involves meeting up on set, carrying out their roles, and then returning to their separate homes.

Expressing her frustration, Kiitan shed light on the undeserved backlash faced by actors for the misconduct of others within the industry.

She called for a shift in perspective, urging the society to refrain from assigning blame collectively for the actions of a few individuals.

The actress passionately appealed for a nuanced understanding of the challenges actors face and the diverse tapestry that makes up the acting community.

“Yeah! we all are actors, we are colleagues, but we ain’t from same background, we were not brought up same way , stop generalising us with insults our surnames are different … THANKS

“Most of us in the industry don’t even know oursleves, we just meet up at locations do our work and go back to our various homes.
Imagine having to face backlash for other people’s misconduct.”
