Saidi Balogun refutes reconciliation tale with Fathia

Fathia Balogun

‘IT’S A BIG JOKE’
Star actor cum film maker, Saidi Balogun, better known as James Bond has rubbished the tale that he is back in love with his estranged wife, Fathia. He added that it’s nothing but a big joke. He further described the tale as not only laughable but illogical.
Speaking with ENCOMIUM Weekly on Friday, August 15, 2014, the handsome entertainer expressed dissatisfaction over the tale, labeling those behind it as confusionists.
“People don’t understand what’s really going on between us. I believe that’s why they are peddling the rumour. There is no logic in it at all.”
Probed further on what could have informed the rumour, he explained, “I think it’s because they saw us in Mercy Aigbe’s new movie, Life After Marriage, that’s why they imagined we’re back in love. The marketer of the movie only used Fathia and myself to promote the movie. And so far people saw the two of us in the movie, they started peddling the rumour that the movie was meant to reconcile us.
“The funniest thing is that we didn’t act together on the set of the movie. We didn’t even see each other for once. I acted my role separately, she also did hers separately. Our paths didn’t cross at all on the set of Life After Marriage till the production ended. So, I don’t know how people arrived at the conclusion that we have reconciled. After how many years? That’s a big joke.”
Asked if they have started communicating with each other as being bandied, he reacted, “There is nothing like that, my brother. On what basis will that communication be? To be honest, the last time we spoke was 2006. I have since moved on. I thank God for that. We don’t have any reason to talk to each other. It can’t happen at all.”
The union between Saidi and Fathia Balogun collapsed irreconcilably in 2006, shortly after the former was involved in an auto crash that almost sent him to the great beyond.
The separation, allegedly, was due to accusations and counter accusations of infidelity between the two. And all efforts to broker peace between the two hitherto romeo and juliet were abortive. However, the relationship produced two lovely children, Khalid and Halia.
