My curves didn’t give me any special privileges in Nollywood – Actress, Destiny Etiko

Nollywood Actress, Destiny Etikohas opened up on her journey through the competitive Nigerian movie industry, ‘Nollywood’.

Destiny Etiko is blessed with a ‘coke-bottle’ shape and this has led many into believing that her ‘curves’ opened doors of opportunity for her.

However, in a recent interview, the actress debunked such speculations while noting that one needs to have content to thrive in the industry. According to her, she’s also a child of grace.

Speaking with Saturday Beats, Etiko said

“having a nice shape was not what made me popular, whether you’re sexy or not you must have content. You can’t be a star by being beautiful or fair or voluptuous. Sexiness and beauty can only make people like you but it won’t keep you there for long.

“My ‘sexiness’ didn’t give me any special privilege, although it’s an added advantage. Another thing that helped me is that I carry grace. When you have the grace to make it, no one can stop you.”
