Nollywood star Shola Kosoko has opened up about one of the toughest moments of her acting career — a time when motherhood and work collided in the most emotional way.
“I was on a movie set one day when my husband called to tell me that our only son was very sick. I told him to bring the child to me because I couldn’t leave the set at that moment,” the actress revealed.
Sharing her experience, Shola recalled that the incident happened during one of her father’s film productions.
“I’ve been on a location before — it was my dad’s production. My son wasn’t feeling too fine, so I asked that he should be brought to me. I had been away from home for about a month because we were still in Lagos and about to travel to Epe, then to Ijebu. When I saw him, I wasn’t happy. I took care of him a bit, and by the next morning, he was taken back home while we continued our journey,” she said.
Reflecting on her early career, the actress revealed how her Nollywood journey began with her father’s movie, Omo Olorire, which opened doors to many opportunities.
“It started with my dad’s film, Omo Olorire. That was my debut, and it gave me recognition,” she recounted.
Despite starting young, Shola emphasized that education was always a priority for her.
“After secondary school, while waiting for admission, I had to go on set. People would ask which school I attended, and I would say, ‘I’m waiting for admission.’ My main focus was always higher education. Thankfully, I already had a name before entering university,” she said.
The actress also expressed gratitude for her career stability, acknowledging that many of her colleagues face uncertainties after graduation.
“After school, while people were celebrating, some were worried about finding a job and their future. Hearing that broke my heart. I truly felt for them, and I kept thanking God for my own part,” she added.
Through it all, Shola Kosoko’s story is a testament to resilience, gratitude, and the delicate balance between passion, family, and faith.
