She however advised government to curtail the activities of piracy for film makers to have profit in their choosing careers.
According to her, “the activities of pirates are too worrisome to talk about in film making because it berated the standard in the industry”.
“We spend a lot of money on film production and it will be bad for us not to have gain in our efforts”she added.
She advised the upcoming artist to be faithful and loyal during their ups and downs for the conscience to judge them positively in their works.
