Nollywood actress Mide Martins has shared an emotional video of herself and her cast in tears while filming.
On her Instagram page, she said a scene was so powerful for her and her cast, which included Yetunde Barnabas and Jide Awobona, that they couldn’t hold back their tears.
According to her, the scene was so touching that they couldn’t stop crying even after the director said cut. Mide added that everyone became emotional at the end of the scene, crying and consoling one another.
The wife of Azeez Owo explained that as mothers, they felt the depth of the situation.
“This scene was so powerful when we were shooting. It was so touching that I couldn’t stop crying even after the director said cut. Everyone got emotional at the end of the scene, and we were all just crying and consoling each other. As mothers, we all felt the depth of the situation in this particular scene. May God console every single mother out there experiencing such pain and agony, one way or another. We will never have cause to cry over our children”.
Mide has undoubtedly grown over the years, becoming a household name and one of the biggest Yoruba Nollywood stars.
Last year, Martins was left overwhelmed after winning Best Actress for the second time. The mother of two thanked her Maker for her journey in the industry. She appreciated Odunlade for always supporting her craft and honouring her, and also appreciated her husband, Afeez Owo, for being the best.
In 2024, Mide won the Best Actress award at Odunlade Adekola Film Production. While receiving the award, Martins admitted that the journey hadn’t been easy, as she appreciated God for the strength and ability to do what she does. She also appreciated her husband for being there for her since she lost her mother, as she stated that she is nothing without him.
In 2023, Mide couldn’t keep calm after winning the ‘Face of Nollywood’. Expressing gratitude to her millions of fans and supporters, Mide dedicated the award to everyone who believes in her.
