'I wanted to show the world the woman I have become'- Uche Ogbodo talks releasing naked pictures for her birthday

She has now explained the reason behind it. In an exclusive chat with Punch’s Saturday Beats, the 33-year-old actress explained that she released the naked photos to let the world know the woman she has become.

“I wanted to show the world the woman I have become,” she tells Saturday Beats. “I am grown, mature, daring, beautiful and confident.”

On the backlash she received from Nigerians, Uche says: “Well, as a public figure, one would usually expect such backlash. Not everyone will sing your praises at all times. Some will definitely find faults with the things you do. So it was expected.”

On whether she had plastic surgery, the actress was quick to set the record straight. “My body is 100 per cent natural,” she says. “I haven’t altered my body by having surgery yet. I only dedicate my time to keeping fit and watching my diet. I have never considered plastic surgery. My body is perfect and I love it. I keep in shape so no need for plastic surgery.

“Keeping fit is easy because it is something that can be done anywhere and anytime. It is really easy to combine it with my job. It doesn’t distract me at all. It helps me to also alleviate stress from my life. I love keeping fit,” adds Uche,
