When it comes to red carpet and events, actress Lilian
Afegbai is one celebrity who leaves many agape with her impressive dress sense.
But in an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress said
she once battled with body insecurity, no thanks to her knock knees. Afegbai
said, “I think fashion is not just about the body because some people have the
body but they do not know how to carry it or can’t get a good designer that
understands what they want. Even if you don’t have a perfect body, as people
would say, you can always design things to suit your body and cover your flaws.
I also have flaws but I have learnt to live with my flaws. We are not all
perfect. Everyone has something they don’t like in their body but you would get
to a point where you would appreciate what God has given you. I used to be very
insecure about my knock knees that I could not wear shorts. You can never catch
me with bum shorts because I used to think that my legs are not very straight.
But as I grew older, I got to know that I have nothing to be ashamed of. A lot
of people still look nice despite not having certain things. It is okay not to
have certain things.”
Speaking about marriage, the actress revealed that she
develops cold feet about marriage sometimes.
Afegbai said, “I do not look at people’s marriages or people’s lives. I believe in individuality, I believe that people should not look at people’s lives to judge others. It does not make sense. But naturally, I have a fear of marriage. My cold feet have nothing to do with the Internet. I am now learning to draw close to God. I have the mentality that as a Christian, I will enjoy the good of everything. It means that if I get married, by God’s grace, my marriage will work out. But it still does not mean I do not have cold feet. I am at the point where I leave everything to God. I love family, I love kids, I want an amazing husband. But at the end of the day, I want what God wants for me.
“I have my cold feet because of the generation we are in
now. This generation does not take marriage seriously as before. We don’t
understand what marriage is. So, it takes the grace of God to get there. Any
little marriage issue this generation wants a divorce but it is only normal to
have issues in marriage. If not for the social media age, the settlement will
be quicker. I am not saying one cannot leave when one is not happy. Of course,
one can leave when it is affecting one’s peace of mind. I will not lose myself
and happiness for love. I will only attract people who are comfortable with my
lifestyle. However, I can compromise certain things that do not affect my peace
for love. Imagine I meet a man who does not like me going out every day. I can
reduce my going out for the sake of love but I won’t stop going out totally.”
