Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe, has broken his silence regarding the controversy surrounding his professional relationship with actress and reality TV star, Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as Bambam. The actor addressed the rumors during a recent interview, where he dismissed claims suggesting a romantic entanglement with the married actress following their roles as a couple in a recent film. Arukwe emphasized that he was highly professional on set and took deliberate steps to ensure he respected Bambam’s marital boundaries. He revealed that he had a conversation with her before filming sensitive scenes to avoid any friction with her husband. “Before I touched her, I asked her if there was any way I could touch her that her husband wouldn’t like or that might cause problems at home,” the actor stated. He further debunked viral speculations that the two were intimate off-screen, clarifying that they had no prior relationship before the project. “That movie was the first time I had ever met her. But people started saying we slept together and were dating, which was completely false,” Arukwe added. The actor’s clarification comes amid growing social media chatter from fans who mistook their convincing on-screen chemistry for a real-life affair.
