Rising actress Miracle Inyanda has opened up on her titular role and character in the military cum insurgency inspired series, ‘Lahira.’
Inyanda made this known during a recent interview where she described the experience on the series set as amazing.
When asked about her connection to the character on the show, she explained that the story was relatable to her because she grew up in a place where she was surrounded by terrorists most of the time, even in her university.
The ‘Lahira’ star further noted that her upbringing in Jos gave her the courage to accept the script and bring to life the reality of insurgencies in Northern Nigeria, as she had witnessed, heard, and experienced everything firsthand.
She further emphasised that certain scenes in the series were particularly difficult for her to film. One of such scenes, she noted, was the one in which her character’s father is killed.
“..that moment brought back many emotional memories for me, as there was a time when my own biological father was nearly killed during a similar crisis,” Inyanda said.
The actress also expressed gratitude to her parents’ for their unwavering support, acknowledging their role in her pursuit of an acting career. She also discussed her deep connection to her character in Lahira, drawing from personal experiences living in a region affected by terrorism.
Inyanda mentioned Adesua Wellington, Osas, and Ini-Dima Okojie as her role models in the industry. She recognised the impact of Lahira on her career, considering it a turning point, but remained grounded and focused on living a normal life.
