Nollywood actress and former Miss Face of Delta State University, Grace Edwin-Okon, has denied rumours that had dump acting because of her marriage.

The actress explained that getting married has not stopped her from acting but explained that she only decided to take the break in order for her to learn more about the industry.

She stated that she had to understand what film making was all about and the concepts behind a good production.

In her words, “On the contrary, my husband wants me to return to acting. I took the decision myself to take a break from acting. I needed to learn the ropes properly, because film making is not a child's play. I had to go and learn the art of film making because as a person, if I do not understand the concept of something, I would rather not venture into it. Marriage is not responsible for my disappearance from the screen.”

She thanked God for helping her sustain her marriage which is nine years as she would have lost it because he career was more demanding and would have affected the home.

“I have been married for nine years now and I am still in it. Day by day, we encounter obstacles but we cross it and get to know each other better. My career would have been a challenge because it was an expensive one. But my husband saw how determined and focused I was and he decided to support me by giving me the money to shoot my first movie,” she told Vanguard.
