Rita Dominic, a well-known actress from Nigeria, discusses the conflict between being genuine to oneself and having celebrity in a society where the temptation of fame frequently eclipses the reality of personal authenticity.
Rita Dominic, a seasoned veteran of the Nigerian entertainment scene, acknowledges the benefits of celebrity but also highlights the difficulties of remaining true to yourself in the spotlight.
The actress, who is renowned for her magnificent performances and classic style, talks candidly about the challenges of working in the entertainment business.
The actress stated, “Fame is a beautiful thing; it opens doors, grants opportunities, and offers a platform to inspire others,” in a discussion on JoyFM’s Personality Profile. But the pressure to live up to social norms and uphold a particular image can be unbearable “says Dominic.
It can be difficult to keep one’s genuineness. Standards must always be met because the public eye is unforgiving. You’re appreciated, but your own personality could be hidden. It’s like being in a golden cage,” she continues.
Her point is that celebrities have to find a way to reconcile their private lives with their public personas.
Finding that balance, where you can enjoy the benefits of celebrity while being loyal to who you really are, is vital. It’s acceptable to change as you go through the process of self-discovery and remaining loyal to who you are,” she says.
