Nollywood Veteran Lanre Hassan, also known as Iya Awero has opened up on her marital experiences before the untimely death of her husband.
The actress in an interview on Behind The Fame African List, revealed that her late husband was not in support of her career. She stated that he initially used to encourage her passion but changed after they tied the knot.
Iya Awero also recounted how abusive the relationship was. She revealed that he used to beat her for going to movie locations.
“Our love story is a little powerful. Because when we were still dating, he was very happy that he allowed me to act. He even came to watch me at rehearsals. But after we got married, he didn’t agree anymore. So sometimes, when I go to act and come home, he would beat me, saying, ‘Didn’t he warn me not to act?’. Though we didn’t get to enjoy the marriage for long because he died young. If you say you want to remarry, do you know what you’ll meet where you’re going?,” she said.
