Mercy Aigbe recounts health complication while shooting ‘Thinline’

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe has revealed the intense health challenges she battled while filming her latest movie, Thinline.
Sharing her experience in an Instagram post today, December 20, 2024, Mercy disclosed that she was hospitalised after waking up on set with severely swollen and painful eyes.
According to the veteran actress who struggled with making impressive sales on the movie’s launch, the doctors diagnosed the swelling in her eyes as a severe infection.
“Throwback to the set of Thinline. I woke up one morning on set, and my eyes were like this (swollen and red). We couldn’t film, we had to break set, and the pain that came with this was excruciating. I was hospitalised. In fact, it was a whole lot of challenges!” she wrote.

Despite the ordeal, Mercy expressed gratitude for making it through the production process, which she described as an emotional rollercoaster filled with challenges.
“It’s been an experience on this journey with Thinline, a whole lot of challenges, but in all, I still GIVE GOD THE GLORY 🙏🙏🙏,” she added.
Adding a touch of humor, Mercy recounted a conversation with someone who speculated whether her struggles were linked to the storyline of the movie. She laughed off the suggestion, replying, “I don’t think so oh!”
The actress described the film as a labour of love infused with “hard work, pains, blood, and sweat.” She also extended her gratitude to fans who have already watched Thinline and encouraged others to head to cinemas to enjoy it.
