Nollywood actress Shine Rosman has opened up about how losing her dad at the tender age of 16 affected her life, revealing that many lost hope in her after the sad incident.
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jidenowo, Rosman disclosed that the loss was traumatic to the point that she became suicidal.
She recalled that amid the grief, some people predicted that she would end up becoming a prostitute since her father was no more.
Rosman said she used the setback and the financial struggles that followed as fuel for her ambitions.
She said, “After I lost my dad at 16, many people said to me that I would end up becoming a prostitute and get pregnant out of wedlock.
“Grief can drive you to a point of suicide because grief is probably one of the hardest things to overcome. My tough upbringing definitely prepared me to want to do better every day. I don’t know how ambitious I would have been if I grew up in a very comfortable environment.”
