Nollywood actress and filmmaker Sandra Okunzuwa has opened up about the emotional impact acting romantic scenes has had on her personal relationships.

According to the actress, one of her former relationships crashed after someone allegedly sent her boyfriend a movie clip showing her kissing a male colleague during a film production.

The actress explained that although many viewers assume romantic scenes are enjoyable for actors, the reality behind the cameras is completely different.
During the interview, Sandra described how uncomfortable filming romantic scenes can sometimes be because of the environment and pressure on set.
According to her, actors are usually surrounded by many crew members while directors continuously give instructions during filming.
She explained:
“When actors kiss while filming, about 20 people are watching them, and instructions are also being dished out to them. Even the AC will be turned off, and the director will monitor and instruct them throughout. So how can anyone be in the mood or turned on in such conditions?”
The actress added that onscreen kisses are not as enjoyable as many people imagine and even admitted she would support removing such scenes entirely if audiences could still enjoy movies without them.
Sandra disclosed that one of her past relationships ended after someone allegedly shared a romantic movie scene with her then-boyfriend.
According to her, the situation created insecurity in the relationship and eventually caused a breakup.
She said:
“I once lost a relationship because someone sent my ex-boyfriend a scene from a movie where I kissed an actor. At the time, I felt his reaction came from a place of insecurity. But honestly, it is not easy.”
The actress, however, admitted she understands why some people may struggle to date actors because of the emotional demands that come with the profession.
She said every individual has the right to decide what they can or cannot tolerate in a relationship.

"It’s not the mood of the present action that worries your boyfriend. It’s the emotion/chemistry that must have been planted deep down within you during the shoot. Many actors end up sleeping with their love interest in the movie set, due to this."
