A loss that deeply affected her
Approximately a year ago, the legendary “Soso” spoke on ERT’s “Studio 4,” where she referred to a loss that changed her life: that of her father. “We lost my dad when I was 8 years old. We grew up with my mother, who was an overprotective woman and dedicated her life to her children, my sister and me. She was strong enough to manage everything,” the actress had stated in a past interview. Regarding her personal life—which she kept as a closely guarded secret—she mentioned:
“I don’t think my personal life concerns anyone. How open or closed a person I might be. Who does it concern and why should it? I read biographies of great and important people,” she concluded.
