Actress and businesswoman Salma Mumin has said she does not like to idolise celebrities.
She explained to Nana Romeo on Okay FM that this was because she had experienced fame as a teenager.
“The thing is, I got into the limelight very early—while I was still in secondary school—so I experienced the celebrity life from the very beginning. Because of that, there’s no celebrity I’d say I’m so enchanted by that I’d send a DM,” Salma said.
“Yeah, I like people, I admire them from afar, I follow them, comment on their posts and all that, but I’ve never picked up a phone to DM any of them.”
She revealed, however, that “countless celebrities” had approached her in the DMs.
“Some want to do business, some want to be friends,” she explained, while insisting on keeping their names private.
The conversation was prompted by Salma’s comment that there’s “no need” to send football icon Cristiano Ronaldo a DM “because he may never see it.”
“What am I going to do in a married man’s DM?” she added, laughing.
Portuguese star Ronaldo is greatly admired and followed by the Ghanaian actress.
Recently, Salma revealed that if she had to switch lives with anyone, it would be Ronaldo’s partner, Georgina.
“She’s on yachts every day, travelling via private jet, she has all the brands, she’s living her best life, she’s got her kids, and of course, her husband is the best player in the world. What else could she ask for? And he’s a very handsome guy to begin with,” she explained.
