Multitalented actor and content creator Saga Adeolu has shared insights into his transition from reality TV star to a recognized Nollywood figure.
Reflecting on his journey, Saga highlighted the challenges he faced, particularly the difficulty of managing his time effectively. He acknowledged that balancing multiple commitments in the entertainment industry requires discipline and adaptability.
“Being an actor is very, very time-consuming and exhausting. We work ridiculous hours, sometimes from 9 a.m. till 9 a.m. the following day, with no time for sleep. If you sleep in between, you risk looking tired or saggy, and it will show on screen,” he revealed.
Saga addressed the stigma surrounding BBNaija alumni, emphasizing how many believe former housemates lack real talent and depend only on privilege.
“A lot of people believe that Big Brother Naija talents don’t have talents but are only privileged. Overcoming the stigma of being seen as an under-talented and overpriced ex-housemate to becoming a respected actor was difficult because many assume we are all noise and no action. I had to prove that wrong,” he said.
Saga emphasized his versatility, noting that he is also an artist and full-time content creator. His dedication to improving his craft and breaking stereotypes earns him recognition in the entertainment industry.
