Popular Kannywood actress, Hafsat Tuge, has opened up about the recurring misconception that female entertainers in the Hausa film industry are not marriage material.
In a recent interview with the BBC, the actress boldly addressed the social stigma surrounding actresses and marriage, especially in conservative northern circles.
According to Tuge, many believe that women in the movie industry are too proud, disobedient, or incapable of being respectful wives—a stereotype she says has unfairly followed female Kannywood stars for years.

She said,
“Kannywood actresses do get married.
“The belief is that because we are in the movie industry, we won’t obey our husbands, or we won’t be loyal, or we are not respectful.”
The actress argued that fame or being financially independent does not mean a woman has lost her values. She stressed that Kannywood stars are just like every other woman who desires love, peace, and companionship.
She added,
“The belief is that because we are in Kannywood, we are in money. But we are just like every other woman.”
When asked about her own marital plans, Hafsat was honest and unbothered. She said she is open to getting married but on her own terms and at the right time.
She stated,
“I will get married at the right time. You know marriage is about time, but marriage is not in my plan.”
Tuge’s remarks have sparked conversations on social media, with many praising her for challenging stereotypes and reminding the public that career women can still be ideal wives if given the chance.
The actress is known for her calm personality and on-screen charisma. Her career has continued to blossom in recent years, and fans say her maturity off-screen is just as inspiring.
