Dumelo made me comfortable – Berla Mundi

GHone TV Presenter, Berla Mundi, has described her first acting experience in Yvonne Nelson’s upcoming movie, ‘Single Married & Complicated’ as “challenging”.

The beautiful young lady played the character of Trish whose marriage is falling apart. Her husband is not attracted to her anymore so she adopts various strategies to win him back.

Berla told News-One yesterday that she at a point forgot her lines during the making of the movie.

However, she was coached and supported by some of the established main actors in the movie, adding, “John Dumelo even made it more comfortable for me.”

She also congratulated Yvonne Nelson, the producer of the movie and director Pascal Amanfo for giving her the opportunity.

“Ok everyone knows how it feels when you do something for the first time, especially when it’s with people who have been in the game for so long… I felt the jitters and was uncertain about my performance because, yes, I am a TV presenter, but when it comes to acting it’s a different ballgame altogether.

“But I must thank the producer, Yvonne Nelson and director Pascal Amanfo for the chance to grow, direction and for the encouragement. Playing a role that was played by a seasoned actress in the first part of the movie was challenging…I had to make sure I nail the role so people won’t compare me to her and say she did a better job…I forgot lines, I had to be coached at certain points but it went absolutely well… And John just made it even more comfortable for me… And I thank God and everyone for the support,” she revealed.

Berla is described as an eloquent, enterprising, industrious and daring young lady. Her soothing voice and interesting personality with unique style, coupled with her amazing ability to drive away a storm with her charming smile have enabled her to win the hearts of many within the few years she popped up on GHOne screens.

Born on an April Fools’ Day, she is a Psychology and Linguistics graduate of the University of Ghana and co-host Rythmz with Black Boy.
