“He was my man. He was the man in my life. God always compensates. I didn’t have a husband so he gave my dad. My mom had died long time ago. And also I had no man in my life,” she added.

Neena also shared that while she was busy doing the father’s job, she missed out on many womanly things. “I had to lose a lot of things while we were together, I had no time to go to a parlour, watch a movie or do womanly things,” she said.
