Uzor Arukwe reacts to rumours of destroying Bambam’s marriage

Uzor Arukwe, a Nollywood actor, has addressed the controversy surrounding his on-screen role with actress and reality TV star Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan.

Speaking during an interview with BBC Igbo, Arukwe dismissed rumours claiming he was romantically involved with the married actress after they appeared together in a film.

The actor explained that he maintained professionalism while filming and ensured that clear boundaries were discussed before scenes that required physical contact. According to him, he was mindful of Bambam’s marriage and wanted to avoid anything that could cause problems for her at home.

Arukwe said he asked the actress about acceptable boundaries before performing such scenes.

“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,” he said.

He also dismissed claims that they were romantically involved off-screen, stressing that the movie was the first time he had ever met the actress.

According to him, reports suggesting they were dating or had been intimate were completely false.
