Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari has disclosed that kissing scenes in films are not genuine; rather, they are staged performances designed to portray realistic romantic moments.
In a recent interview with TV3, the “Beyoncé” actress elaborated that the goal of actors is to make these scenes appear believable to the audience, emphasising that they do not involve real emotions.
Nadia made a clear distinction between the feelings of the characters and those of the actors themselves, explaining that these scenes are crafted solely to enhance the characters’ narratives and do not reflect the actors’ actual sentiments.
“They are not real. It is make-believe. However, we are trying to convince people, so we were really kissing, but it is just that it is real for the characters, not for the actors. There are no feelings involved,” she stated.
Nadia Buari emphasised the importance of separating emotions from kissing scenes, which are often filmed in front of large crews.
She considers both kissing scenes and character portrayal to be the most challenging parts of her acting career.
After a break from the screen, Nadia is back and offering her perspective on the difficulties of acting in films.
To mark her return, she will star in “Forever in a Night,” produced by John N. Okwugo and directed by Jameel Buari. The film is set to premiere on November 9, 2024, at both Accra Mall and West Hills Mall in Accra.
