“My first on-screen kiss in Nigeria took me by surprise. Though I knew the kiss was coming, and I was prepared for an ‘on-screen kiss.’
“In my experience, you are not supposed to put your tongue down somebody’s throat. But the person did. On the basic level, if you are going to do an on-screen kiss, you talk about it, ‘Oh, I’m going to put my tongue in your mouth.’ But if you don’t talk about it, then you know it’s the basics,” she explained.
