Beatrice Adi Darko, a renowned Ghanaian actress known as Ponzy in the local film scene, offers practical advice to aspiring actors and actresses, emphasizing the need for additional sources of income. According to her, relying solely on acting may not suffice to meet financial goals such as owning a home or starting a business.
During an interview at the premiere of the Love Is Sweet movie, Ponzy highlighted that while acting can lead to fame and brand opportunities like ambassadorial deals, the income from acting alone is insufficient. She stressed the importance of pursuing other profitable ventures alongside acting.
Encouraging young actors and actresses to diversify their income streams, Ponzy suggested taking on additional jobs or starting small businesses. She emphasized the importance of financial stability in an industry known for its unpredictable earnings.
As Ponzy continues to secure roles in the film industry, her advice serves as a valuable reminder of the realities of the acting profession and the importance of financial planning.
