Popular Kannywood actor, Ali Nuhu has given his reason why he stopped kissing and hugging in movies he stars in.

In a recent interview with BBC, the movie star said he stopped kissing and hugging in Nigerian movies because of his religion and culture.

In Ali Nuhu’s words,

I come from the North, and I’m a Muslim. My culture and religion does not allow for that, so I stopped acting in scenes like that. People talk about it all over but I personally think it out as an ambassador of my culture and religion and stopped.”

Ali Nuhu Mohammed is a Nigerian actor and movie director — he acts in both Hausa and English movies and he’s also known as the king of kannywood or “sarki” Ali by the media.
