He confessed that he viewed that period as a “vacation granted by the heavens” with a positive mindset. “I am generally a positive person, and since I hadn’t taken a break and had been busy all this time, I thought perhaps it’s a gift from above, a chance for me to take a break and prioritize my health. It was very helpful,” he said. He also mentioned that he began to cherish his family more, especially during that time.
