Popular Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has broken her silence on claims that she pre-empted the marriage of her best friend, Naa Ashorkor Mensah, in her recent produced movie, A Letter From Adams.
According to the bubbly actress, the marriage was a case of �art imitating life,� in relation to her movie.
Naa, who just got married to her long time lover, Ahuma Cabutey Adodoaji, over the weekend, played a supporting actress in Lydia�s new movie.
Her character name was Kabuki and she also got engaged in the movie and a lot happened around the engagement.
This has heightened speculations on some social platforms about the marriage, the new movie and perhaps what will happen next.
But Lydia Forson told NEWS-ONE yesterday that she knew nothing about Naa�s marriage before she wrote the movie�s script.
Earlier on, she had also denied the movie�s story has got something to do with her personal life.
�I guess it�s just a case of �art imitating life� because I wrote the story in 2010 and even during the movie shoot we used to joke about how real her engagement scene looked. We had fun teasing her about it. �Little did I know she was going to get engaged months later.
�Even the name Kabuki was just purely coincidental. We decided to change the name a few days before the shoot because the initial name just wasn�t working for me. I came up with several names and Naa suggested Kabuki. It started off as a joke but eventually everyone on set caught on to it and it stayed.
�I�m really happy for her and glad in some way my movie will be associated with her special day. I probably will never forget this experience,� Lydia Forson insisted yesterday.
Asked when she heard of the engagement, she said, �let�s just say I knew they would get married someday; so when I heard it, it wasn�t too much of a surprise. But like everyone else the news came unexpectedly.�
The actress turn producer was among some Ghanaian entertainment industry names who attended Naa�s engagement last Saturday.
