Ghollywood sensation Juliet
Ibrahim recently had a quick
chat with Saturday Punch. She
revealed among many other
things that being "half-caste" is
truly a blessing.
Read Excerpts from the interview;
On Growing Up: "I
am a half-caste and as a child,
there was no colour difference
– you are just happy with
where you are and who you
are with. Then, Ghanaians
accepted people for who they
are. However, I am being told
now that I am receiving more
favours because of my fair
complexion. It seems people
now have issues with coloured
people".
On the real Juliet Ibrahim: "I
am just a very simple person. I
am hardworking, a
businesswoman and a mother
of a three-year-old son. I do
charity work too. I released
two of my singles this year."
On her relationship: "I am
married to a Ghanaian, who is
a quarter-caste. His mother is
half Lebanese and half
Ghanaian. We met several
years ago when he was living in
the United States of America. I
was attracted to his personality
and intelligence. We kept in
touch and got married three
years ago when he relocated
to Ghana."
On her style: "I used to wear
anything and walk around with
my flip flops. Now, I am
conscious of the fact that style
matters and anything I do as a
celebrity is a part of me. I
always have to look my best
always.
Style, for me, is wearing what I
am comfortable in. I try my
best to always play with my
shape and make sure my figure
comes out. I can try any kind of
dress. I am very dramatic with
my dressing."
