Sola noted that “her father’s name often opens doors for
her, many times “being a daughter of Jide Kosoko, I get mre respect from people. However, it is my capacity as an
actress to interpret roles that would determine if I would get jobs. Nobody
would automatically give me a role because I am Jide Kosoko’s daughter. Yes,
they would remember me but it is left to me to be able to interpret the role to
the satisfaction of the director.
“If I am not able to interpret roles perfectly, people would
not continue to offer me roles. Yes, my father’s name has helped in a way but
my ability and hard work have also got me roles. You should also note that some
people would intentionally mistreat one just because one is Jide Kosoko’s
daughter.”
Edutainic blog throws
another question to her on how she relates with her father on set, Kosoko-Abina
said, “Immediately I hear, ‘action’ from the director, I would ‘forget’ the
fact that he is my father. Depending on his role, I would talk to him the way
the script dictates. If he is someone I have to be rude to, I would be rude to
him. And once I hear ‘cut’, we would then analyse our performances. I could
tell him, ‘Daddy, your face looked funny when we were acting. You didn’t give
me the response you were supposed to give’. And he would correct my mistakes as
well.”
The actress also maintained that her husband trusts her
judgement when it comes to interpreting roles. She said, “There is no serious
pressure on me for being married except that my freedom could be a little
curtailed.
“My hubby has not told me not to take any role because he
believes I know what I am doing. And whenever I get scripts that require me to
act as a prostitute, I discuss it with my husband. If it doesn’t have to do
with nudity or showing parts of my body, I don’t even have to discuss with him.
Sometimes, I rehearse with him. I tell him to check my posture if I am standing
like a real prostitute. And, if I don’t get it right, he would tell me. I am
not limited to any particular kind of role except where I would have to act
nude. If I am not required to act nude, I can play any role as a versatile
actor.”
Sola also said that she was drama free because she chose not
to reveal her private life or that of her colleagues on social media. “We
should learn to use social media for positive reasons and not the other way
round,”
