Taking time out of her busy schedule in the bustling city of Lagos,
Glo Ambassador and sexy screen siren, Mona Lisa Chinda jetted out to
the Queen's own country (England)last week to attend the 2009 edition of the
Afro Hollywood Award. www.gistmaster.com gathered that the actress was nominated along with several
other actresses for the Award for Best Actress in an English movie,
and she won amidst some stiff competition. Also present at the
occasion was veteran actor, Justus Esiri, Mercy Johnson etc.
The Afro Hollywood Award is a yearly event organised by Mike Abiola
and it seeks to reward deserving actors and actresses for their
contribution to the development of film in Nigeria.
Speaking with the star (who has since returned to the country) on the
significance of the Award she said, 'I couldnt be more happier (to win
this Award). This has been a
particularly tough year for me but God has been faithful.  He has seen
me through and I am most grateful'. So whats new for the bubbling
actress? "Well, I have acted in a couple of movies recently.... one of
which will be premiering at SilverBird Cinema at the end of the month.
Its called 'Nollywood Hustler' and is a comedy. I really enjoyed
showing that side of me.  So what else is new? 'Well, I have a column
in The Sun newspapers on Saturday where I write
about various issues.  You should check it out sometime'.
Hmm... maybe I will.  Mona Lisa... writing a column? That'll be interesting.
