He said; “My wife brought him to me. She told me that he just returned from America and would like to go into movie marketing. When the man came back from America, he showed interest in investing in film marketing and, I think, some people recommended my wife to him as someone who could help.
‘‘Because my wife was already a movie star, I agreed that she should be working with Adekaz in order to help him through the business stages. That is how, I am sure, their relationship started,” Gentry stressed.
He further revealed that he later found out that his wife was having an affair with Kazim.
“Naturally, I don’t react to rumours. But when I eventually confirmed that she truly was having an affair with Adekaz, the crisis in our home began. So, I asked her to leave my home,” he affirmed.
