How I am able to easily kiss my colleagues passionately on movie set – Sandra Okunzuwa spills

• Sandra Okunzuwa has shared how she is able to passionately play movie roles where she has to kiss her colleagues.
• She stated that she was taught to make sure her saliva never comes in contact with the other party, so as to avoid any STDs.
• Okunzuwa added that she only plays along during such scenes because it’s generally usually uncomfortable to enjoy such moments since many other people will be on set.

Nigerian film actress, Sandra Okunzuwa has opened up on how she is able to seamlessly play a romantic movie role that would involve her kissing her fellow actor.

Speaking with Saturday Beats, she said she was taught to just play along with her facial features and expression and moan to give people the impression that something intense or passionate is ongoing.

According to her, when kissing another actor, there should not be any form of tongue contact, to avoid the exchange of saliva.

Sandra Okunzuwa also revealed that a kissing scene isn’t usually as comfortable as many believe because movie sets aren’t usually conducive. The movie star claimed she never gets emotionally attached to any actor that she kisses. In her words:

“I was told that the individuals could just play with their lips and eyes, then moan to give the impression that they were doing something really intense. I have always abided by that, and I avoid any form of tongue contact or exchange of saliva, because I don’t know who that other person has been with. I don’t know their medical condition.”

“Sometimes, people ask if I get emotionally attached to any actor that I kiss. The answer is actually ‘no’, because the place that one is filming in is not even so conducive. The air conditioner is off, and the lighting usually makes one feel hot.”

“Besides, there are a lot of people in the same room behind the camera watching, what one is doing. This is even as one is sweating and trying to memorise one’s lines.”
