Gloria Sarfo
Award-winning actress, Gloria Sarfo, has opened up about a harrowing experience that left her temporarily paralysed after filming in Kumasi, revealing the deep spiritual battles she has faced in her career.
Speaking candidly about spiritual attacks in the entertainment industry, Gloria Sarfo attributed her continued relevance and success in the movie industry to her unwavering faith and commitment to prayer.
“I’ve been through trials, and people will be shocked when I talk about it,” she said. “But you see, the good things are coming, so they outweigh the bad ones. Even the bad ones manifest so that the will of God will also come true,” she said.
Recounting a specific incident, the actress revealed that after travelling to Kumasi to shoot four movies back-to-back, she suddenly became paralysed shortly after returning to Accra.
“I prepared myself and went in, so after the first film, I had to quickly dash to Accra and go back. I got stuck in Accra. I got paralysed, and so I had to call someone in Kumasi to bring my things,” she said.
Despite the frightening experience, Sarfo emphasised that prayer and proper medical care played a crucial role in her recovery. She also addressed rumours that she relied on “juju” or spiritual forces to boost her popularity, particularly during her time on the beloved television series Efiewura.
“Even with Efiewura, people thought I was using juju because of the love I received from shooting that series. I prayed and also went to the hospital to ensure that I got well,” she explained.
Gloria Sarfo’s testimony shows the challenges many creatives quietly face behind the scenes.
