Popular Nollywood actor, Rotimi Salami, has been hospitalised following a serious health scare that he says nearly cost him his life.
The actor made the revelation on Monday via his Instagram page, sharing a photo from his hospital bed while recounting a harrowing experience over the past 48 hours.
“I survived the last 48 hours because God said yes. I’m not the type to say ‘Devil is a liar’ because I’ve truly stressed this body. Kilanko has taken too much from me,” Salami wrote.
He linked his condition to the intense physical and emotional demands of working on Kilanko, a newly released cinema film produced in honour of late Nollywood actress, Allwell Ademola.
Although Salami did not disclose the exact nature of his illness, he expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal, hinting at the toll his recent workload had taken on his health.
Following the post, fans and colleagues flooded social media with messages of support, wishing him a speedy recovery and urging him to prioritise his well-being.
The incident has also sparked wider conversations about the pressures faced by actors in the film industry and the importance of maintaining a balance between work and health.
Salami, a prominent figure in Nollywood, is widely recognised for his roles in both Yoruba and English-language films. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a dedicated and consistent performer, with frequent appearances in cinema productions and television projects.
In recent months, the actor has been deeply involved in the production and promotion of Kilanko, a film that has drawn attention within the industry for its tribute to Allwell Ademola.
