Renowned Nollywood actress Funke Akindele shared that she used to borrow clothes from her colleague, Sikiratu Sindodo, to appear stylish on movie sets.

Funke revealed this while discussing the struggles she faced before achieving success in the industry.

Currently vacationing in Ghana with Eniola Badmus and content creator Kamo, the actress explained that she chose to turn her career challenges into inspiration for others.

In a viral video shared on her Snapchat, Akindele acknowledged the massive roles her colleagues, Sikiratu Sindodo and Iyabo Ojo, played in her rise.

Recounting her humble beginnings during a conversation with her best friend, Eniola Badmus, she said, “They didn’t give us any roles. One of those men, I just keep looking at him, but I won’t mention his name.

“I remember back then when I used to borrow dresses from Tayo Sindodo. Sindodo would help me choose nice ones from her tops if I was going to a movie set.

“There was a day when Sindodo saw me carrying a bag after I wasn’t given a role, and she went to meet Uncle Abbey to fight for me. Iyabo Ojo was lucky and very nice to us. Iyabo would say, ‘Don’t worry,’ and she would drive us around in her small red car. We found solace in one another. That’s how we became friends. Iyabo used to stand up and fight for me.”
