Aiyeola who now lives in London, told BBC Yoruba Service she was not in any romantic affair with the elderly Baba Suwe.
โHe is my boss and a kind manโ, she said. โHe used to cast me in a lot of roles when I started. And I am grateful to himโ.
Asked about the man she ever had a crush for, she mentioned the veteran Bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachchan, who is now 75 years old.
โI used to write him as a child, using the addresses she read on the jackets of Indian movies. Now I have a secret, I reach him on Facebookโ.
Asked on the career path she would have trod, without venturing into acting.
She did not hesitate in her response.
โI would have loved to be a midwife or a child minder or surrogate motherโ, she said.
