Nollywood actress, Idia Aisien, who made her acting debut in Play Network Studios’ Nneka The Pretty Serpent, revealed that it took her a lot to perfect the lead role she played in the movie.
Speaking to journalists in an interactive session, Aisen said the role was the most rigorous job of her career.
Aisien explained that it took her several auditions, an acting coach and interestingly, an Igbo tutor to be able to pull off the Nneka Agu character she played.
“I remember I would sit on the floor and ask my acting coach questions. Till today, I am taking acting classes. Like I am just one of those few people that are dedicated. In every single industry that I have worked in, everyone can attest to that fact and I think that’s what helped me so far,” she stated.
Crediting the perfection of the role to her tenacity, she added: “I have never considered taking No for an answer. If I didn’t get Nneka, I promise you, I would have gotten another movie and it would have still been a lead because I am very pushy.”
