Nollywood star, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha has shared the lengths she went to prepare for her role in the Netflix series Seven Doors.

In the series, Chukwuka-Akpotha plays an Igbo queen married to a Yoruba king, portrayed by Femi Adebayo.

The show explores themes of royalty, family ties, love, betrayal, and redemption.

To bring authenticity to her character, the actress needed to speak Yoruba fluently.

During a TVC interview with her co-star Femi Adebayo, Chukwuka-Akpotha revealed that she learned Yoruba specifically for the role.

“I had to learn Yoruba for my role in Seven Doors.

The Yoruba used in the movie wasn’t the everyday Lagos dialect, so I had to be very meticulous about getting the tone right,” she explained.
