Nollywood actress and media personality, Treasure Desmond, has opened up on the advantages and challenges that come with being perceived as beautiful in the Nigerian film industry, saying physical appearance can be both a blessing and a burden.

The actress, who is steadily gaining attention for her pet project, Pinkylove Show, noted that while beauty can open doors, it often leads to unfair assumptions about an actress's journey and talent.

Speaking in a recent interview with Potpourri, Desmond explained that many people tend to downplay the hard work of attractive women in the industry, assuming their success is solely based on "pretty privilege."

According to her, although beauty may come with certain advantages, it is not the foundation of lasting success. She stressed that dedication, consistency, and craft are what ultimately sustain an acting career. However, she acknowledged that in filmmaking, physical appeal can be a plus, as an actor's look often draws audiences in before they fully appreciate their performance.
