But that dedication, he now reveals, has come at a heavy personal cost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In a recent interview with The Nation, the seasoned actor opened up about the painful sacrifices he made in the early years of his career. Antar Laniyan shared how he missed his own father\u2019s burial and was absent during the birth of his daughter,all in the name of professionalism. He recounted:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t attend my father\u2019s burial because I had taken payment and was already booked for a shoot. The producer wouldn\u2019t let me leave.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rather than back out or disappoint, he sent his younger brothers in his place, and requested they record the burial on VHS so he could at least watch it later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Regarding his daughter, Antar Laniyan disclosed how he left his wife in the hospital, shortly after a Caesarean section, just to fulfil a film shoot commitment. He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMy wife insisted I should go. The director, Andy Amaenechi, quickly arranged my scenes. I left the set by midnight and trekked from Ojuelegba to Mushin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to the ace actor, these experiences have shaped his strict work ethic and discipline, particularly when it comes to lateness and flippant excuses. He said firmly: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIf I could sacrifice that much, then I don\u2019t entertain flimsy reasons for coming late. You\u2019ll simply have to leave.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_213671\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213671\" style=\"width: 1242px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-213671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7439.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"1051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7439.jpeg 1242w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7439-300x254.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7439-1024x867.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/IMG_7439-768x650.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-213671\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antar Laniyan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In other news, veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/07\/05\/i-was-vomiting-blood-taiwo-hassan-ogogo-recounts-health-crisis-that-nearly-took-his-life\/\">Ogogo, has opened up about a terrifying health ordeal that left him bedridden for years.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Yoruba film icon while on Oyinmomo TV, revealed that his health crisis began while on his way to a movie location for the late Arakangudu\u2019s production.
