Kogi State-born but Kano bred actress, Halima Abubakar, some years back gained instant fame for baring her cleavages. She was taken to be in the league of Cossy Orjiakor who became popular as a boobs baring actress.

Even though, Halima became known, she certainly did not get movie roles she so much craved. And so she withdrew into her shell. But when she resurfaced, Nigerians saw a reformed and well-groomed Halima. In this interview, the actress talked about a number of interesting issues. Excerpts:.

What are the positive things that being an actress have attracted to your life and what are the ones you never wanted that are happening?

It has only given me a sense of belonging. I used to be very impatient, I get angry over everything but now I am changed. I am matured.

There was so much noise about you when you just came into the industry but that has really changed. What can you say to that?

This question I really don't know what it's really about. I am busy. I am winning awards, what else do you want to hear? I don't know! What else do you want to hear? My private life or what?

May be I am driving at the fact that you were a little bit controversial?

So? Are you not changing as a human being? The question is funny.

What would you say prompted the change because your controversial deeds looked intentional?

Just growth. I am a different person than I was. Like I said, I have changed. I have changed in every ramification of life so, I believe in growth, maturity.
