Nollywood actress Fausat Balogun, better known as Madam Saje, has opened up on her pre-fame struggles.
In an interview with The African List, she recalled her early days of struggling, the challenges she faced and more. Fausat said she once stole food to survive and shot movies without making a dime.
The veteran noted that there is no job without challenges; hence, people shouldn’t try to outrun their destiny and should wait for their time.
“Anyone who says they don’t face challenges in this job is lying. I suffered a lot in this job. My sufferings have turned to joy. We went to shoot a movie at a school, didn’t make any money, and came back empty-handed. We had a moment where we went to steal food to survive. I remember a place in Oyo State where they sold Amala: you pay in one place and collect soup elsewhere. The little money we had, we would manage to eat. Don’t be too faster than your destiny, wait for your time. When your time comes, it will be like you did a money ritual”.
