The well-known actress, Mariana Kondi, shared a powerful personal story on the Grida Duma podcast, speaking openly about her relationship with her father and the figure she truly considers "dad." "I believe that the man who raises you is the father," said Kondi, adding that for her, the primary place has always been held by her mother. She also recounted meeting her father after 50 years, a moment that did not bring the expected emotion: "When you meet him and you don't feel... you don't feel anything." In contrast, she values the figure of the man who raised her: "He was the one who brought me coffee, talked to me about books, about life... he was the father to me." The conversation also touched on her mother, who did not form another bond: "Never. What a mistake... but it was the time." According to Kondi, it was the mentality that forced her to choose children over personal life. "When I look at you well, that is a miracle to me," she recalled her mother's words, concluding a story that speaks of absence, sacrifice, and choices that were not always free.
