Popular Yoruba actor and producer, Obatidey Kelvin, has opened out about a very emotional encounter that occurred during the making of one of his movies.
In an interview aired on the official YouTube channel of Oyinmomo TV, Kelvin recounted a moment that tested both his strength and professionalism.
“When I started shooting this movie, it was the saddest day for me. I was about to act when my brother called me and said he had an accident. He said there were 24 people in the car and 21 died,” Kelvin shared.
The shocking news left him shaken, but he chose to carry on with the production, despite the emotional toll.
“I wondered if I could even go on with the shoot. After each scene, I’d step aside to check how he was faring. I didn’t tell anyone.”
For an entire day, Kelvin continued filming in silence, masking his inner pain from the crew and cast. It wasn’t until the end of the first day that he revealed the situation.
“After Day 1, I explained everything to the director and he said, ‘and you kept acting?’ and I said yes.”
