Things About Kehinde Bankole You Probably Don't Know.

 

Many people probably know her by Elerin Eye a movie character that slightly describes Kehinde Bankole's real smile. The beautiful actress is a crush for many male audiences and a model for lots of female fans. As long as many had known Kehinde had always remained ageless, we should have added her to the list of our Ageless actresses, but she's here now. 

It is obvious that Kehinde is a very private person, she barely posts anything not work-related on her social media pages and so we are giving you a few things you probably don't know about Kehinde Bankole. 

1. Kehinde is a Twin: If you are not of the Yoruba tribe then you might not know that the actress is a twin. The name Kehinde typically means the "second twin child". Although they might not be identical, her twin sister is just as beautiful as she is.

2. She was a model: Kehinde's physique shows an obvious model look and the actress actually tapped into that aspect of her life. In 2003, she participated in the Miss Commonwealth Nigeria pageant, she also participated in the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) pageant, although she did not win the pageantry it gave her the platform she needed in the entertainment industry. 

3. Kehinde took a break from education: It might not be known to many people but Kehinde was once a student of Olabisi Onabanjo University. The actress was to study Mass Communication at the University, but her decision to pursue her modelling career led her to take a break from her education. IT is not known if she went back to school but it is obvious that her decision was a good one so far.

4.  Kehinde made her first movie debut in 2007: The actress had nurtured the ambition to be a model but when she did not win (MBGN) she had to cross to other streams of entertainment, she decided to go into movie making, and then she made her debut in the 2007 Super Story series. She played the character Chinelo, her acting in the series opened more acting doors for her.

5.  Among many rumours about the actress, one of them is the birth of her child. In 2018, it was rumoured that the actress had her first child, even though she was not married. Kehinde has not come out to debunk or confirm this rumour, it would be nice if we could have a mini Kehinde Bankole but till she comes out to announce such a bundle of joy then we all probably have to wait.
