Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari recently shared insights about filming kissing scenes in numerous movie projects.
During an appearance on TV3’s “The Afternoon Show’ with hosts Godwin Namboh and Anita Akua Akuffo, Buari clarified that these scenes are purely make-believe.
Buari, who recently posted a trailer of an upcoming movie featuring Majid Michel, explained that the goal for actors is to make the scenes convincing to viewers.
She emphasized that any perceived romance is merely part of the characters’ storylines, with no genuine emotions involved for the actors themselves.
She said: “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.”
Nadia Buari explained that actors must keep their emotions separate from kissing scenes, especially since these scenes are often filmed multiple times with a large crew present on set.
Despite her extensive experience with such scenes, Buari shared that she doesn’t have a preferred on-screen kissing partner.
She also acknowledged that, for her, kissing scenes and character portrayal are among the most demanding parts of acting in films.
