Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo has revealed that she is happy to have fulfilled her long-held dream of acting alongside verteran moviestar, Joke Silva.
Uche recently said that it has always been her career goal to play a mother-daughter role with the legendary actress, so she is delighted to see it come to pass recently.
During a conversation with her colleague, Daniel Etim-Effiong, in a viral clip that was shared way back in 2023, Jombo immediately shared her long-held dream as soon as Daniel noted the physical resemblance between both actresses.
According to her, even if she has already been privileged to play a younger version of Joke Silva in a movie, she still wanted the opportunity to act as her daughter on screen.
“Omo you look like Aunty J,” Daniel had said in the clip.
“Yes, I do, even without make-up. I’ve played like a younger her in a film. My dream role is actually a mother-daughter with her, I’ve never had that role. When I first started acting, they used to ask me if I was related to her before I didn’t know her, I now had to start looking for who she was,” Uche replied.
Fast forward to 2025r, the moviestar flaunted a video on Instagram from the movie set where she and Joke Silva are finally making her dream a reality. Uche said that as soon as she got the script, she hurriedly contacted Joke Silva to ask her to play her mother, and filming is now almost complete for the highly anticipated project.
The actress also appreciated her veteran colleague by showering her with lots of gifts, including a body spray, wine, air freshener and stylish earrings.
“In 2022 I started looking for a story for @ajokesilva and I in a Mother / Daughter role (to give the fans what they wanted and asked for).
Fast forward to 2025 @joybewaji sent me the perfect script. You have to watch out for this one on coming to @uchejombotv_ soon! This one is special!!!!!!!” she added.
