Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele-Bello featured on this week’s CNN ‘African Voices’, where she talked about her journey into the entertainment industry.

The actress revealed that her parents had conflicting opinions about her acting dreams.

She said, “Growing up was fun for me having the support of my mum, she believed so much in my talent, though my dad never wanted me to be an actor – he wanted me to be a lawyer.”

According to her, she had to study law, during which she began auditioning for roles and was featured in popular sitcom ‘I need to know’.

“When I started ‘I Need To Know’, I never thought I would be this celebrated. I was 20 years old then. When I shot the pilot I just wanted to do it, I wanted to showcase my God-given talent… I remember the director telling me I was overacting because I was excited about it,” Funke said.
