She also embraced motherhood while working on fashion brands, developing new designs and writing movie scripts.

“Those periods I was off the scene were for personal reflection and growing my brand,” she said.

Sobola added that motherhood did not prevent her from pursuing other interests, noting that she remains a serial entrepreneur.

The actress also described herself as an emotional person and a loner who prefers to maintain a small circle of friends.

She said life’s challenges have taught her the importance of rising after every setback.

For Sobola, staying away from public attention was not a sign that she had lost relevance.

“Although I wasn’t very visible in the public space, I was extremely busy strategising,” she said.

The actress also explained that her real name and stage name complement each other, with each serving a different purpose.
