Bukky Wright returned to Nollywood two years ago after taking a long break from acting. Her comeback excited many movie lovers who had missed seeing her on screen. Since then, she has received massive support from colleagues and fans. Toyin Abraham once described her as “her industry mother and boss.” Tobi Bakre also surprised her with a birthday gift on a movie set.
Last year, Bukky became emotional after receiving a Best Supporting Actress nomination. She said the recognition was “beyond humbling” and thanked everyone who welcomed her back. The Return of Omotara Johnson will debut in cinemas nationwide starting July 10, 2026
Away from the cameras, Bukky has been open about her personal struggles. During an interview with Teju Baby Face, she revealed that she battled depression. She also praised her children for helping her through that difficult period. The actress called them her first critics and strongest support system.
In another interview, she shared how her children were taken away from her when they were young because she married into a wealthy family. According to Bukky, her in-laws believed she would never become successful. She said she started acting so her children could easily find her when they became adults. Today, her remarkable comeback continues to inspire many fans.
