Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has addressed recent criticism regarding his on-screen romantic scenes with married female colleagues, including his co-star Bambam in Love In Every Word.

In a recent interview with BBC Igbo, Arukwe explained that he always seeks the consent of his female co-stars, particularly those who are married, before engaging in any intimate or suggestive scenes.

“I make sure to ask my co-lead if it is okay to touch them in a certain way, especially the married ones, because I don’t want them to face problems at home,” he said.

Arukwe also clarified that he had never met Bambam or had any relationship with her prior to their first project together.
