In a video shared on her Instagram page, the actress explained her choice to go bald, emphasizing that, for her, acting is about fully embodying a character, even if it means drastic changes. She also revealed that she’s learning to speak the Yoruba language for the role, adding another layer of authenticity to her performance.

“I love my job too much not to take risks,” Jegede captioned her post. “I see myself as a tool to convey the appropriate message. If the script deserves it, I will do whatever needs to be done to give the story life. AJA is a love story… A provoking story that will have you on your feet.”

The bold move, however, has sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many praised her dedication and applauded her willingness to immerse herself in the role, others questioned the necessity of such a transformation, suggesting that technology and makeup could achieve a similar effect. 

Regardless, Jegede’s commitment to her role in AJA has once again positioned her as a passionate actress willing to go the extra mile to bring stories to life.
