Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has once again denied engaging in a romantic affair with actress and reality star Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as Bambam, insisting they had never met before they began filming together.
He made this known during a recent interview with BBC Igbo, where he addressed the controversy surrounding his on-screen chemistry with the actress.
Speaking during the chat, Arukwe noted that he was careful during filming, adding that he even discussed boundaries with Bambam before performing scenes that required physical contact.

According to the thespian, he took these precautions because he did not want to do anything that could jeopardise his colleague’s marriage.
“Before I touched her, I asked her if there was any way I could touch her that her husband wouldn’t like or that might cause problems at home,” he said.
Arukwe went on to debunk claims that they are intimate off-screen, revealing that he had never met Bambam before they started working together.
“That movie was the first time I had ever met her. But people started saying we slept together and were dating, which was completely false,” he added
