“I’m a nerd who likes to stick to himself. However, I haven’t been blessed with the fortune of love… hopefully it will happen. Unfortunately, I haven’t met my Zandile [Ace’s love interest in the film] yet, but I have hopes that I will.”

“Being unlucky in love has nothing to do with my parents. In fact, they are part of the problem because I got to witness what I think love should be from them. Now it isn’t easy to find such a lovely story like theirs.

“I love how after so many years, my parents are still in love with each other.”
