Christiana Nkemdilim Adelana, better known as Tana Adelana, is best described as a bundle of talent. The award-winning TV presenter, actor, producer, model and entrepreneur peeks through her personality in this chat with Ferdinand Ekechukwu
You’ve acted as a strict person in a number of movies. Does that bear any semblance to your true personality?
To a reasonable extent, yes. I’ll say I’m principled and I stand for whatever I believe in.
If you had the chance to start all over again, is there anything you will do differently, career wise?
Yes, but would I tell you, no (laughs out loud).
What is the secret behind your good looks?
I eat right, drink a lot of water, avoid chemicals as much as I can, I also mind the business that pays me…
Many have criticised Nollywood movies for being predictable and without suspense. Do you share that view?
No I don’t. I mean, I watch Hollywood films as well, apart from superhero films and a handfull, the simple movies e.g Christmas movies are the same thing. It’s not peculiar to Nollywood. Whilst we have that, we also have some beautiful movies with amazing unpredictable story lines.
