The emotional post made by filmmaker Pascal Amanfo following the death of actress Beverly Afaglo has struck a chord with many in the entertainment industry, as conversations around the hidden struggles of public figures continue to grow.
Beverly Afaglo was reported dead on Sunday, May 24, 2026, after her husband, musician Eugene Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster or Praye Honeho, confirmed the heartbreaking news on social media.
In the wake of the tragedy, Pascal Amanfo took to Instagram with a deeply reflective message about the emotional weight many entertainers carry behind the spotlight.
“The world sees celebrities but they don’t know all is not as it seems! They don’t know your struggles, your pain, your battles!” he wrote.

The director’s post painted a picture of the pressures faced by entertainers who are often expected to maintain glamorous public images while quietly battling personal and financial difficulties.
According to him, fame can sometimes create unrealistic expectations that leave public figures feeling trapped, judged and emotionally exhausted.
“They don’t know the rent gets late, jobs sometimes are not forthcoming, you get broke, lonely, sick, sad, depressed!” he stated.
Pascal also spoke about the harsh criticism celebrities face when their careers slow down or when they fail to meet public expectations.
“You are forced to live to their expectations and when you don’t, they mock you for being below the standard!” part of the post read.
He further reflected on how entertainers are often celebrated more after death than while alive, noting that social media attention and public tributes sometimes arrive too late.
“Dear Entertainer all you will become when you are no more are headlines and traffic on blogs!” he wrote, adding that people who never supported public figures in life are often quick to mourn them online after their passing.
The filmmaker ended his message by urging entertainers to value genuine friendships, family and self-worth beyond fame and public validation.
“And whilst you live for the world, please remember to truly live for you and your maker!” he concluded.
