Nollywood actress Bolaji Ogunmola has categorically denied reports of a love relationship with co-star Daniel Etim-Effiong, stressing that their on-screen chemistry in her latest film is entirely professional.
In her latest YouTube film, In The Bloom After, released on February 6, Ogunmola plays Inara, a lady who, after 20 years of marriage, is abandoned by her cheating husband and begins on a journey of self-discovery and dating.
Etim-Effiong portrays Nachi, one of the guys she connects with, which leads to various personal situations, including kisses, that have generated speculation among some viewers.
An X user questioned the kisses, writing: “To be honest, you and Daniel kissing movies is too much and it’s looking like you guys are an item. Why didn’t you kiss the 1st guy ‘Anthony’ in your new movie. Remember that was how Yul and Judy started. Feelings can develop. You guys should tune it down.”
Ogunmola responded sharply, defending the film’s core message of self-love and empowerment while rejecting any suggestion of off-screen romance.
