Nollywood actress Deborah Shokoya has set social media buzzing after a behind-the-scenes video from her latest movie Scar surfaced online. The actress, who is also a proud mother, was seen attempting a dangerous stunt that left many fans shocked and worried.
In the viral clip, Shokoya bravely fell from a storey building as part of the action sequence. Although mattresses were placed where she landed and crew members quickly surrounded her, the actress was visibly shaken. She held her neck while gasping for breath for a few minutes before slowly regaining her composure.
One of the crew members could be heard calling for water to help calm her down. This detail, however, did not sit well with many fans, who criticized the production team for not providing proper medical support on set. Viewers pointed out that for such high-risk stunts, there should have been trained first aid responders and an ambulance on standby.
Deborah Shokoya later revealed that her husband was unaware she would be performing such a daring scene. According to her, when he eventually saw the video, he sternly warned her never to attempt it again.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions online. While some praised the actress for her courage and professionalism, others slammed the filmmakers for failing to ensure adequate safety measures. Many fans compared Nollywood to Hollywood, stressing that such stunts abroad are only done under highly controlled conditions with medical teams on ground.
Shokoya, who has endured personal challenges in the past, including the loss of a pregnancy, has earned even more admiration for her resilience and dedication to her craft. Still, fans made it clear: no movie role is worth risking her life.
