Sharing his unease about Milan's proposal, Shaffie acknowledged feeling apprehensive about his daughter's future.
“My daughter is 18 years old, and on Valentine’s Day, she got proposed to. It’s what it is, but I am afraid,” he confessed.
While contemplating his journey, Shaffie offered insights into his relationships and his challenges.
“For 15 years, I lived with women. All the prime jobs I was in in my younger days did not allow me to be a committed man that I would have been in the relationships that I had at that time,” he disclosed.
Despite his experiences, Shaffie remains uncertain about committing to a serious relationship.
“If it comes, it comes. It is not wrong to marry many wives, but just give each of them equal responsibility,” he stated.
“I have not gone on a date with any woman for 10 years. I have gone for a movie or two, but dates, no. That also does not mean I have not dated for 10 years.”
Shaffie also expressed gratitude for his close circle of friends and family who have supported him through various challenges.
“The people I love are the ones who remind me that life is beyond being in the spotlight. Anything can happen. I lost my job, and if I didn’t have a really strong support system and people who stood by me, things could be really tough,” he said.
