Accra: Ghanaian comedian General Ntatia has pushed back against the perception that players in the entertainment industry only come together during funerals, insisting that many entertainers quietly support one another away from the public eye. Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb’s Patience Adu on the sidelines of the funeral of actress Beverly Afaglo, the comedian acknowledged that while there is room to strengthen relationships within the industry, colleagues often check on each other without seeking publicity.
According to Ghana Web, General Ntatia emphasized that entertainers do support each other in private, noting that these interactions often occur without the presence of cameras, which is why the public may not be aware of them. He encouraged entertainers to make a conscious effort to reconnect with colleagues they have not heard from in a long time, advising them to reach out and check on one another.
Reflecting on his memories of Beverly Afaglo, General Ntatia described the late actress as a dedicated professional who was always willing to help others. He recalled casting her in the stage play “A Man in the Dark” despite her initial hesitation due to her lack of stage experience. Beverly exceeded expectations and delivered a remarkable performance, leaving a lasting impression on those who witnessed it.
General Ntatia also highlighted that Beverly’s passing serves as a reminder for entertainers to prioritize their health and cherish one another while they have the opportunity. He urged industry players to live purposefully, remain united, and, as a Christian, encouraged people to stay close to God while giving their best in whatever they do.
In his concluding remarks, General Ntatia emphasized the significance of spending time wisely and holding each other close, underlining the importance of unity and support within the entertainment industry.
