Have you lost your privacy?
If you notice, this interview is one of the very few I have granted in recent times. I try to keep my sanity, so that I can protect my family.
I had to make a personal decision to stay private for a very long time in order to build what I have built for myself and my children. I understood this from a very young age.
Would you want your daughter to emulate by getting married at a young age?
Having gone through it myself, I wouldn’t say I would like her to do the same. I would like her to experience life slightly a bit more than I did.
But it all depends on the circumstances and the persons involved. I had support from my mum, dad and siblings.
In hindsight, I can say that they actually did a good job. In June, we would celebrate the 12th anniversary of our wedding.
How did you handle criticism at that time?
I ignored critics and paid no attention to what people said. I overlooked Facebook and I only signed on to the platform in July 2011. That was shortly after I earned a degree in Architecture.
If you could do anything differently in terms of marriage and certain decisions you have made over the years, what would it be?
I don’t think I would want to do it differently. I think getting married early is my competitive advantage.
I learnt real life and management skills in marriage. Even though I’m currently studying for an MBA, it can’t beat the real life experiences.
