Renowned Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage shared details about her meticulous preparation for a kissing scene in her debut movie, ‘Water & Garri.’
In an interview with BET, Tiwa Savage explained that she took extensive measures to ensure impeccable hygiene, particularly for the intimate scene.
She noted that the kissing scene was scheduled for her first day of filming, and she wanted to make a positive impression. To ensure freshness and comfort for both herself and her co-star, she brushed her teeth multiple times.
Reflecting on the moment, Tiwa Savage emphasized the importance of creating a comfortable atmosphere for her fellow actors, as their comfort could significantly impact the overall vibe on set.
She also mentioned that her co-star, Andrew Bunting, who played the character Kay, took similar precautions by thoroughly rinsing his mouth.
“The first day on set, I had my kissing scene. I am glad it was my first day because I just entered it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five or six times because I needed to represent,” she shared.
Tiwa Savage expressed gratitude for the supportive environment provided by the cast, which contributed to a smooth and comfortable experience on her first day of shooting, despite the intimate scene.
Meanwhile, ‘Water and Garri’ has achieved remarkable success on Prime Video Nigeria, becoming the platform’s biggest weekend opener to date with the highest number of streams among all titles.
