2) Actress, Judith
Nollywood actress, Judith Audu, posted this photo on her page. She got injured while shooting a scene in a movie set. The actress wants her fans to know actresses works hard and they also get hurt on set.

The actress said: “The risk we are exposed to as actors are uncountable and yet people think we are jokers…
Things we do for the love of our craft and the deep passion we have for it is unexplained… This is why some of us take it serious when people talk down on our craft, some of us put our all and loose ourselves in it just to make sure it is believable…
This hurts, but then what can i say, Thank God it wasn’t more than this because the fall was epic…. Watch out for the movie Gone Grey…It had better come out very well all this my blood no go waste’’
