Ella Emmanuel is a Nigerian actress that has a unique view of how the entertainment industry can help to improve the society. Born 27 years ago, Ella Pinky (as her friends and fans fondly call her), is a native of Ogwashi-Uku in Delta State, Nigeria. She was an entertainer from early childhood because she strongly desired to become a full-time actress when she grows up. Her most admired personality in life is her mum, whom she fondly refers to as sweet mother.
Ella Pinky has so far succeeded in combining being a Sociology student at Delta State University and playing diverse roles in Nollywood movies. She is currently in her final year at school. During a lively interview with leisure quest reporters, Ella shared her belief that she is on her way to stardom and she is determined more than ever to keep working hard till stardom literally embraces her. The single fast rising movie star said she greatly appreciates all her fans for their love and support and has made a solemn vow and promise never to let them down.
Surprisingly Ella revealed that she is also a singer, having worked with Soundfill records that produced her first song titled 'Kele Ya'. Another feather on the hat of the pretty young lady is her enterprising nature. Ella says she also deals on hair extensions, wigs and hair multiple care products. The actress also told leisure quest that as someone who has got a strong passion for acting, getting into Nollywood is one of her greatest achievement. Her most recent projects are the movies: 'ADA-ADA' for Divine Touch Productions and 'WHEN THE GUN SALUTES' a movie directed by UGOEZU J. UGOEZU. Her other recent jobs are playing the role of a waitress in a comedy movie produced by Emmanuel Oboh and directed by Papel. She acted alongside big names in the industry such as Daniel K. Daniel, Chelsea Eze, Shirley and Papel. Ella also featured in a movie titled Campus Tale, produced by Eazzy and costarred Dave Nwajei. She is currently on set in a movie soon to be released by Divine Touch Productions. She also says what takes more of her time is her ongoing music.

On her taste in fashion, Ella responds thus “ as we all know, looking good is a good business, I am a fashion freak and as much as I love fashion, I love to be comfortable in whatever i wear. Her view about life is that “Life generally is simple don't complicate it. The greatest of all is Love and with that, we can achieve greater heights. Ella’s future plans are aspiring to become a good musician, movie producer and getting a hairline.

We sought her views about the current issues and challenges in the acting profession. Her reply was: “for an upcoming actress, getting an accommodation in a movie location isn't really an easy thing. Yeah you have to tackle that especially in locations you don't even know, that can be frustrating”. On the bright side, Ella says the industry is a goldmine larger than the sky, thus there is room to accommodate as many raw talents that are determined to shine. She believes she too will scale through on that pedestal and do timeless movies that must have societal value and impact driven too and not just entertainment based.

The actress says some cinematography movies are doing well, an example of which is “DRY” by Stephanie Linus. The movie x-rays the plight of the girl child that is forced into under aged marriage such as is most common in the northern part of Nigeria. Another movie that Ella says is a world class production is Kunle Afolyan’s “OCTOBER 1ST”, a powerful telling the Nigerian story from the boiling point of truth and from the Nigerian Perspective. Ella says she hopes to work with iconic stars that she admires because of their bedazzling talents. There is a whole lot coming and Ella Pinky believes that with God on her side, the sky will be her stepping stone.
