Actress Omowunmi Dada has revealed that she recently underwent surgery on her leg after dealing with prolonged pain.
The 35-year-old shared the news in an Instagram post on Tuesday, accompanied by a video highlighting moments from her recovery journey.
The clip showed her in the hospital, using crutches, getting visits from friends and undergoing X-ray scans.
Opening up about the ordeal, Omowunmi wrote:
“Sometimes, we carry our pain so quietly that the world celebrates us without realizing the weight we bear behind the scenes.
“I had been dealing with leg pain for so long, yet I continued to show up, walk through sets, and smile through moments—but deep down, I was weathering a storm.
“Eventually, I had to make a difficult choice: I underwent surgery. The thought of losing control over the simple things we often take for granted—walking, using the bathroom, moving freely—was humbling.
“But God… He held me. I’m still healing, but my healing is beautiful.”
She also expressed gratitude to those who supported her through the process.
“To my doctors, thank you for your skill and patience. To my friends who visited, called, messaged, and showed love in various ways—thank you.
To my family, your strength became my own.”
In recent time, Omowunmi has featured in several movies including, Ada Omo Daddy (2023), The Origin: Madam Koi-Koi (2023), Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (2024), Everybody Loves Jenifa (2024), Finding Me (2025) and Family Brouhaha (2025).
