Not much is known about multiple award
winning actresses, Kehinde Bankole’s, twin, Taiwo. Unknown to many, it
was Taiwo, that first delved into the make- believe world before she
decided to face her business.
When asked about her twin, Kehinde said,
“My twin sister is not an actress, she is an event planner, she started
out acting before me but as her business began to grow, she decided to
focus on her event planning business. That is not to say if she wants to
come back she won’t.”
Taking a trip down memory lane, the actress said her parents were always in support of her career.
“Unlike most people, my parents never
had a problem with my choice of career. I started in the church drama
but they were a bit bothered because they felt I was spending so much
time in church. I had to explain to them that aside from drama
rehearsals, I still had to attend church service and choir rehearsal.
They were interested in me becoming an actress but they didn’t want it
to take too much of my time because they were concerned it would affect
my education. It was during that time I had my WASSCE and UTME among
others. Once I got into the university and they saw that I had crossed
that hurdle, it was easier for them to accept my career choice,” she
said.
The actress hinted that like some of her colleagues, she may delve into music.
“Music is a part of my everyday life. I
minister in songs and I believe that music is part of me. I have not
given it a serious thought but if I get a record deal or my partners and
I are asked to sing in a concert, we will take it. Music is part of my
work and my personal life,” she said.
