Meet Nollywood Actress Who fasted 7 Days for a Movie Role [PHOTOS]

She was once a contender for the Next Movie Star (NMS) reality show in 2011; a graduate of Theatre and Media arts from the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, where she hails from.

Yvonne Enakhena is a young and beautiful Nollywood actress who started her acting career in 2012, and has featured in several movies and TV series including: I think she loves Me, The bull in 'The Hacker', Tinsel, Mother and Child, Danielle, Four crooks and a Rookie, among others.

In a recent interview, the actress opened up on how she had to do the extraordinary to push herself off the long waiting line of aspiring actresses and bring her dreams to reality.

“There is always the issue of people wanting to take advantage of you, calling you up to ask you out, promising to get you a role and all that. For me, I had to tell a lot of people ‘no’ and I got so many disappointments.

“Of course, when you refuse them they don’t give you the role. But that doesn’t mean better ones would not come your way.

“I remember I had to dry fast for seven days to get a particular role. That would be the most desperate thing I have ever done. I really needed the role and I didn’t want anybody to ask me out or get funny before they could offer me the role, so I had to do dry-fasting for seven days to get it.

“Thankfully, God answered me and I got the role. The movie is not out yet, it will be released this year, she said.”
