Rita Dominic muses on the complexity of celebrity, saying, “Genuineness is essential but popularity is good”
Renowned Nigerian actress Rita Dominic offers her perspectives on the conflict between being genuine to oneself as well as being a star in a society where the attraction of fame frequently obscures the truth of
an individual’s genuineness. Veteran of the Nigerian entertainment scene Rita Dominic recognises the benefits of celebrity but also highlights the difficulties of remaining true to oneself in the spotlight.

The actress stated, “Recognition is a wonderful affair; it unlocks doors, grants possibilities, and offers an avenue that motivates others,” in a discussion on JoyFM’s Personality Profile. But the obligation to live up to social norms and uphold specific standards can be unbearable “says Dominic.
The actress highlights the difficulty of remaining true to one’s personality in a field that frequently demands conformity as she muses on the intense scrutiny celebrities endure.

She emphasizes how important it is for famous people to maintain a healthy balance between their private and public lives. Finding that balance, where you can enjoy the benefits of celebrity while being loyal to
who you are, is vital. It’s acceptable to change as you go through the process of discovering oneself and remaining loyal to who you are,” she says.
