Besides being a successful actress who has remained relevant in the industry after spending close to 3 decades in the industry. Lots of her colleagues both young and old respect and love Bimbo Oshin to a fault, she is one veteran actress you will hardly hear any scandal about, she minds her business and maintains a very cordial relationship with both her juniors and contemporaries. She is also one actress you can’t see at every party or event especially ones she is not invited. She takes it upon herself to encourage the up and coming ones and this explains why most of the younger stars refer to her as their role model. When it comes to competition most especially on social media which most actresses do, you can hardly find Bimbo Oshin in that circle, she maintains a very low profile and she can never be caught flaunting anything on social media. This beautiful actress once said she has been able to remain relevant in the industry mainly because she has never allowed the fame get into her head, she doesn’t see herself as a star but just a very simple and free spirited person. According to her she is always very conscious of what she does in the industry mainly because she is very grounded in her father’s words and upbringing and also because of her kids so they won’t search through the Internet tomorrow and be disappointed with what they will read about her.
The movie industry most especially the Yoruba movie industry is filled with envy, hatred and jealousy but this gorgeous mother of two believes strongly in live and let live lifestyle. You can hardly see her entangled in any unnecessary drama in the industry and it’s one of the reasons she’s loved by many.
