I notice that here in America, there are lists and classes of people in entertainment. For example, Angelina Jolie and Vivica A Fox cannot be compared or put in the same category. I don’t know if the same rule applies to entertainers in Nigeria, but it sure doesn’t feel like it.
So I was web-browsing the other day when I came across a post about Rukky Sanda’s alleged cosmetic surgery. I couldn’t care less whether she did it or not. As a matter of fact, I did not read further to know if she did in fact go under the knife, but something else got my attention: she was referred to as an A-List actress. Huh?
Thinking of Rukky Sanda, I cannot think of the name of one single movie she was in. I remember one where she played the part of Ramsey Noah’s wife or girlfriend. Or was it his friend’s girlfriend? I don’t even remember the name of the movie or the story line. I just know that she was in it. And that’s honestly the only movie I can remember of Rukky Sanda.
I know her name for two reasons: because (1) I follow Nollywood, most times. I like to know the names and faces of the people I see in movies and (2) because she’s present on every red carpet event. That whole red carpet event thing is a discussion for another day.
I may be wrong, but Rukky Sanda is more popular for being on red carpets and photo ops than she is for being an actress. She reminds me of Susan Peters who won an award for some acting-related thing. My most recent and most vivid memory of Susan Peters is when I saw a picture of her posing with her Blackberry Porsche on Linda Ikeji’s blog. Perhaps, I have some selective amnesia here, I don’t know.
Notwithstanding. I will oblige you with the before and after pictures of Rukky Sanda’s alleged surgery. The left one is e before one and the right one is the after one. The only difference I see is that the after one has contact lens …. and an untamed Blackberry flash was clearly responsible for that brightness.
She’s a pretty girl though. No?
We can continue the conversation on Twitter.
Yes we also have classess of Actresses, entertainers. They are known by their recognizability and amount they pull in in dvd/cd sales and for artistes concert sales.e.g Tuface, Psquare and Dbanj definately pull in more crowds than possibly. Bracket, IllBliss and Jaywon. That’s not to say the ‘young don’t grow but everyone has their time. So also in the movie world. They certainly have Alist actors and actresses but I will not say Rukkie is in that category by any stretch of imagination. The writer must have been mistaken. Anyway these days evryone is a blogger so able to write whatever he/she feels whether correct or not. Rukkie to me is more of a socilialite. kind of a Kim K, Paris Hilton type. -famous for being famous. Yes we do have those in Nig too. Same goes for Susan Peters. But I will not knock their hustle! If you too think you have what it takes go ahead and hit the limelight! Lol!
I totally agree! They’re definitely socialites, which ish why it’s strange when I see them receiving awards for acting. Then you can’t even remember what movie you’ve seen them in. But then, we’re talking about Nigeria. Things dont always go as they should.
