Nigeria Old Nollywood Veteran Actor Roy De Nani has opened up about one of the most painful periods of his life during a recent appearance on the “Where Is The Lie podcast”, revealing the emotional toll of losing both his son and daughter and the silence that followed from the industry he dedicated years to.
Speaking candidly, the Nollywood veteran shared that during his time of grief, he expected at least some level of support or presence from colleagues within the film industry. However, according to him, that support never came.
“I lost my children, and no one in Nollywood came to visit me,” he said, expressing deep disappointment over what he described as a lack of empathy and solidarity.
His remarks have sparked conversations about the realities of relationships in the entertainment industry, with many questioning how strong those bonds truly are once the spotlight fades or during personal crises.
Roy De Nani’s experience highlights a broader issue often discussed quietly how public figures, despite being surrounded by fame and recognition, can still face moments of profound loneliness when dealing with personal tragedy.
While some have reacted with sympathy and support following his revelation, others see it as a wake-up call for stronger community and compassion within Nollywood, especially in times when it matters most.
Through his story, the veteran actor not only shared his pain but also shed light on the importance of genuine human connection beyond professional ties.
