Popular Ghanian actress, Ella Mensah, has recently counted her blessings as she talks about the difficult choices she had to make.

An unforgettable experience, the actress recounts, was when she lost two relationships because of acting.

In her words,

“Both men had problems with me playing some roles and eventually asked me to quit acting, which I refused. One even asked me to choose between him and my career. Obviously, I chose my career.

“Most African men are extremely jealous and can’t stand another man kissing their woman, even in a movie. It’s sad though; I guess it’s what it is”.

Speaking on some of the challenges of the job, she had this to say,

“In 2018, I almost lost my life. Armed robbers attacked me on my way home from a movie location in Lagos. It was scary! But I’m grateful to God for saving my life and for blessing me afterwards.
However, despite all of the downs she went through, Ella recalls with glee, a fun experience she had.
“I once had sex in a plane. It was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever done. But at the same time, it was so much fun” said the actress.
