Korra Obidi stated that when an individual goes through a divorce or becomes single again, there is a sudden outpouring of sympathy and eagerness to have them back in the industry.
Reflecting on her own experience, Korra Obidi expressed her belief that being single is actually the ideal state for thriving in the entertainment industry.

Korra Obidi revealed that being single has been a game-changer for her career, highlighting how the shift in her marital status has led to a steady stream of bookings and opportunities.
In her words:
“One thing about we humans is that when somebody’s married. I don’t know you people don’t like the person anymore. You kind of like go ‘ahh happy married life’, and then ‘she can’t be on my show,’ ‘she can’t be in my movie’. But now I’m single… I’m getting booked back to back, so it’s good for me. I think being single is good in the industry.”
