Uzor Arukwe, a Nollywood actor, has addressed the issue surrounding his on-screen collaboration with actress and reality personality Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan.

During an interview with BBC Igbo, Arukwe denied reports that he was romantically connected with the married actress after their parts in a film together.

The actor claimed that he was cautious while filming and even addressed boundaries with Bambam before performing sequences requiring physical contact, emphasising that he did not want to jeopardise her marriage.

“Before I touched her, I asked her if there was any way I could touch her that her husband wouldn’t like or that might cause problems at home,” he said.

Arukwe further debunked claims that the two were intimate off-screen, revealing that he had never met Bambam before they began shooting the movie.

“That movie was the first time I had ever met her. But people started saying we slept together and were dating, which was completely false,” he added.
