Nollywood actress Tana Adelana has opened up about her silent health battles, sharing a heartfelt message of gratitude to God and loved ones who stood by her during what she described as one of the toughest periods of her life.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the screen diva posted clips from her private video diary, which documented different moments from the past year. In her post, she revealed how she managed to keep working on movie sets despite facing serious health challenges.
“What you’re watching are excerpts from my video diary of my journey in the last year different times, different time zones,” she wrote. “I didn’t put that diary together to avoid giving the devil any power over me. God showed up and showed out! That’s all the strength I need.”
The actress, known for her grace on and off screen, admitted that behind the smiles was a woman fighting silently to live and remain thankful.
“When you see me smile and happy going forward, please pardon me. I am just trying to LIVE and be grateful to God who kept me,” she added.
Tana also thanked her family and a few close friends who stood with her throughout the ordeal, as well as fans who checked in when she went silent. “EL ROI that sees me is the greatest! I am grateful,” she declared.
She hinted at future revelations, saying she worked on several movies during her health crisis and looked like a shadow of herself, promising to share more of that journey later.
This isn’t the first time the actress has shared her vulnerability. In 2022, after losing her father, Tana opened up about experiencing deep emotional turmoil, which left her confused and distant. At the time, she assured fans that she was not depressed but simply dealing with a heavy heart.
