Christiana Awuni has expressed her biggest challenge since she ventured into the Ghanaian movie scene in 2012. The multiple award-winning actress has disclosed how she lost a role in a movie casting due to her tribe. Speaking to Kyidom Bright (King Solar) on Showbiz Review, she said there are challenges in every work or job and this was hers. “Every job has its own challenges, but the one that hurts me the most was when I lost a role in the biggest movie ever made.”

“I nearly lost interest in movie making when the director said to me, we need Asantes to play a particular role, and not that of my tribe”, she said.

Christiana Awuni said this on Kumasi’s early bird entertainment show, “Showbiz Review” on Aben FM 103.3 MHz, a subsidiary under Joy Media Company.

The voluptuous actress and producer made the revelation to Kyidom when asked what her reaction was after she was denied a role due to tribe.

She said, “I was surprised and felt sad. I felt ashamed. I heard a director say this to me. We are all Ghanaians; one people, one blood, one nation. I reported him to the directors when we had a meeting, and he was penalized for making such a racist comment.

“I decided to quit the movie industry for better opportunities”, she further asserted.

The Kumawood actress explained how her roles in movies have impacted people’s lives.

“I did a movie called September House; it got me a lot of recommendations and calls. People called to tell me how my role had affected some family members in their family. I have done a couple of movies that have changed people’s lives”, Christiana Awuni said.
