Content creator and actress Amarachi Okoh, popularly known as Marahchi or Ada Igbo Nile, has revealed that she is unwilling to take on intimate scenes in movies, saying she has never kissed on screen and does not see herself doing so.
Speaking about the limits she has set for her acting career, the Enugu-born actress said her upbringing and personal values have shaped her decision to avoid romantic scenes that require kissing or sexual intimacy.
“I haven’t kissed in a movie yet, and I don’t think I can. It’s because of my personality and the kind of family I come from,” she said.
The actress explained that while she is passionate about her craft, maintaining her principles remains a priority, stressing that she is not comfortable interpreting sex-related roles.
Beyond discussing her boundaries, Marahchi also addressed the issue of colourism in Nollywood, dismissing suggestions that her dark complexion has affected the opportunities available to her.
According to her, talent remains the most important factor in determining the kind of roles an actor receives.
“Being a dark-skinned girl, I don’t think my complexion influences the roles they give me. I feel it’s all about the talent,” she said.
Born in Enugu State, Marahchi grew up in Oba, Anambra State, before relocating to Lagos for her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). She has since built a reputation as a content creator and actress, earning a growing following for her comedy skits and screen performances.
