Tiwa Savage has spoken about an intimate scene in her debut film, ‘Water and Garri,’ focusing on what she had to do to keep in character.
Tiwa Savage spoke with BET about the ending, the love scenes, and whether or not she will appear in future films.
Tiwa Savage spoke on what drew her to the ‘Water and Garri’ storyline, saying, “I adore the story. I adore the narrative of coming back. I adore the story of rediscovering oneself.
“It’s not such a happy ending, but then, in life you don’t always have happy endings. So, I loved that. And then I loved that it had a love twist to it. All of those elements were just very beautiful to me.“

Speaking about the hot moments, she occasionally forgot she and her co-star weren’t really dating. She explained, “I had a love interest in this movie, and sometimes, if we’re like on set, I’d have to remember, “That is not your boyfriend Tiwa”. You should calm down. And then my real-life lover would come on set, and I’d be like, “What is he doing here? We’re no longer together, so he can hear this.
“The first day on set I had my kissing scene. I’m 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.”
Asked if she’ll be doing more films following Water and Garri, Tiwa Savage said: “Listen, I’ve told everyone, film cheques are good. So, I’ve got like ten scripts in my head. I have other stories I’m working on.”
