Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has revealed that she brushed her teeth six times in preparation for the kissing scene in her debut movie, ‘Water & Garri.’
The Afrobeats diva explained that she indulged in the hygienic practice to give a good impression.
She disclosed this in a recent interview with BET.
She said, “The first day on set, I had my kissing scene. I am glad it was my first day because I just went right into it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five, six times because I was like I needed to represent. But, he was very lovely. All of the cast was. They were really, really nice.”
Savage, who played the lead character (Aisha) in the movie, shared kisses with Andrew Bunting, her co-star (who plays Kay in the movie).
The movie, which is now streaming on Prime Video, is directed by Meji Alabi and jointly produced by Everything Savage and Unbound Studios.
Water and Garri follows a Nigerian fashion designer who returns to the country after building a successful career in the US.
The movie, which sees the debut of Savage as an actress, tells the story of Aisha, an ambitious fashion designer.
Aisha returned to her native country following the loss of a family member after being away for 10 years in the United States.
She had to learn to live with her scars and confront the guilt she left behind while reconnecting with family, old friends, and her past love.
The project features several movie stars including Jemima Osunde, Mike Afolarin, and Andrew Bunting.
