She won actress of the year award at AMAA in 2010 for her role in Perfect Picture. In this interview, Ashakor speaks about love and life. <\/p>\n<p>You are an actress and TV presenter; which do you \u2018feel\u2019 the most?<br \/>To a very large extent, I enjoy doing the two, but acting had always been my passion. TV presenting is something I admire other people who do it. Even though I had always wanted to act, but I never gave it a push until a friend called me one day to accompany her for an audition. <\/p>\n<p>After my friend\u2019s audition, the lady organizing it asked me to try as well, I refused, but after some persuasion I accepted. I got a role afterwards. I enjoyed acting, but I don\u2019t do everything that comes my way. I have only done five movies so far. <\/p>\n<p>Is acting paying more?<br \/>The payment is about the same, because if I do many episodes, I get paid more, but as for acting, I only do few movies. Payment for acting is one off, like since I do few, but TV is in bulk. <\/p>\n<p>Why did you choose acting?<br \/>First of all, I think it\u2019s fun; it\u2019s like being paid for having fun. It\u2019s something I know how to do well, it is a talent and like the Bible says, we should not bury our talent; it\u2019s not something you should hide, God blessed me with it. <\/p>\n<p>You blew my mind in Perfect Picture. Where were you before then?<br \/>I have been around. It was just that Perfect Picture was my first major movie. <\/p>\n<p>What was childhood like? <br \/>I grew up with my family. It was a Christian home, my parents were quite strict, a perfect family, but average. I grew up in an average Ghanaian family. My best time was when I was much younger. I was very outspoken. I wasn\u2019t the typical submissive African child. I was in school programmes, plays, essay writing, and at a point I even tried singing and dancing before I realised it wasn\u2019t working. I can\u2019t sing to save my life. <\/p>\n<p>At least, I can do something better than you?<br \/>I\u2019m sure you can. <\/p>\n<p>What do you mean, average?<br \/>We weren\u2019t stupendously rich and we weren\u2019t poor either. We were okay. We had everything we wanted. I had everything I wanted. I am not an extravagant person, I make little demands on myself and others around me. I don\u2019t need so much to be happy.<\/p>\n<p>That means I have a chance of getting a \u2018yes\u2019 if I woo you?<br \/>If you can \u2018toast\u2019 me well, you could have a chance (laughter).<\/p>\n<p>First quarter of the year is coming to an end, what should we expect from you?<br \/>I can\u2019t tell you much, but expect to see me in another fantastic blockbuster. It\u2019s from Spaeeow Production. I am working with Yvonne Okoro, KSM, John Dumelo and others. <\/p>\n<p>How come you\u2019ve not done many movies?<br \/>I choose the movies I want to do, the movie doesn\u2019t choose me. I am quite selective. I actually don\u2019t accept every script that comes my way. It is also because acting is not the only thing I do. I also work with a company that requires my time, I just finished school and many other things occupy my time as well. <\/p>\n<p>You are close to Lydia Fordson, why not a Jackie or Nadia?<br \/>I met Lydia before meeting others. I\u2019ve known her for quite a while. <\/p>\n<p>Can you go butt-naked in a movie?<br \/>I can never. <\/p>\n<p>What is the big deal about showing your backside?<br \/>I think it\u2019s private. <\/p>\n<p>But you are an actress?<br \/>I can\u2019t do it; it has never been about money, for me. I am an actress, I am not a back-shower (laughter). <\/p>\n<p>What happened between you and TV Africa, I learnt you were sacked after you fought with them?<br \/>I didn\u2019t know where that story came from; I am not bothered. I still go there to meet my friends. We didn\u2019t have any fight at all. I used to work with TV Africa on contract basis, after the contract ended I moved on. I got another job and moved on. I work with Charter House and it\u2019s close to TV Africa, I go there everyday. <\/p>\n<p>Who are your favourite directors?<br \/>KSM, Shirly and Leila Djansi are my favourite directors, though I haven\u2019t worked with Leila yet.<\/p>\n<p>What was it like to be a star in the university?<br \/>There was too much pressure; people expected too many things from you. They expected me to live a certain kind of life, after a while I had to move home and started coming to school from there. <\/p>\n<p>What were those expectations?<br \/>People expected me to dress and do certain things.<\/p>\n<p>Did they expect you to finish with first class?<br \/>I don\u2019t know what they expected of me, but I finished with second class upper, which I don\u2019t think is bad at all. Even guys who stayed in class didn\u2019t get that (laughter). <\/p>\n<p>What does love mean to you?<br \/>I don\u2019t know what it means, really.<\/p>\n<p>Have you fallen in love before?<br \/>As we speak, I am in love. <\/p>\n<p>How come you are in love and can\u2019t define it?<br \/>It is a feeling that cannot be captured by words. <\/p>\n<p>Is this the first time you would be falling in love?<br \/>Yes. <\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s your first time, how do you know it\u2019s love?<br \/>You can just feel it. You can feel true love. <\/p>\n<p>People say it is particularly difficult for celebrities to fall in love. Was it easy for you?<br \/>It is as easy as anyone else. That position is not correct. <\/p>\n<p>How would you differentiate your past relationships from this?<br \/>I can walk out on others, but I can\u2019t walk out on this. <\/p>\n<p>So, you are dashing the hopes of young men?<br \/>Sorry to dash your expectations. <\/p>\n<p>So, this is leading to the altar?<br \/>I can only hope.<\/p>\n<p>Is your man comfortable with your career choice?<br \/>Yes, he is. You know, we\u2019ve been friends for sometime before all these. We talk extensively about things I want to do before I do them. <\/p>\n<p>Are men worth all the trouble they go through for love?<br \/>Yes, I think so. They are for us as much as we are for them. We put them through trouble too; it\u2019s a two-way thing. <\/p>\n<p>Has any man put you through trouble?<br \/>No, never! I\u2019ve never had man\u2019s problem. <\/p>\n<p>So, you are the one that gives them trouble?<br \/>I don\u2019t come with much trouble like that (laughter). I only come with some.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of trouble do you come with?<br \/>I don\u2019t take everything you thrust on my way. I don\u2019t shut up. A lot of men are not comfortable with that kind of woman. I don\u2019t solicit.<br \/>But, I thought African women are supposed to be submissive.<br \/>I am not a typical African woman; I think men also are supposed to be submissive as much as women do. Nobody bought anybody. <\/p>\n<p>Are you saying men should be submissive too?<br \/>It is a two-way thing, at a point you should be submissive to your woman as a man. <\/p>\n<p>Can you forgive a cheating boyfriend?<br \/>It is hard to say, because I haven\u2019t been in that kind of situation before, but I think once you decide to be with someone you should be able to forgive. Forgiveness is a necessity.<\/p>\n<p>That means you can forgive your boyfriend if he cheats?<br \/>Yes, I can, but I don\u2019t know if I will. <\/p>\n<p>Have you ever cheated before?<br \/>Never.<\/p>\n<p>Have you had a cheating boyfriend before?<br \/>Never, may be I\u2019ve been very lucky. <\/p>\n<p>Is there any plan to get married this year?<br \/>I don\u2019t know. You know in Africa women don\u2019t propose, it is the man that proposes, you never know when it will come. In this case, I am willing to be a submissive African woman (laughter). <\/p>\n<p>What is your stake on sex before marriage?<br \/>Biblically, it is wrong, but times are changing. It is a pity it has become the norm. It\u2019s not the way to go. Bible made it clear. <\/p>\n<p>Have you abstained all through?<br \/>I really wish I can answer that question (laughter).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span>Do you have a story\/gist for publication?
