He said; ‘‘It shaped me, to be honest. It shaped my mindset, my mood, you know.
“There was a point in time when I was very colourful, I would say. I was funny, running around and unserious. I never took life seriously until I lost my dad. And it just shows different sides of people. It just shows the importance of family as well.
“Yeah, as siblings we might have our fights, quarrels but you never know when you will just not see them again; the people you are closest to. For my dad, my dad used to call me a soldier.”
