Invited to the Grida Duma Podcast, dancer Gerd Vaso spoke for the first time about his ex-wife, ballerina Enada Hoxha.
Without Grida asking, Gerd Vaso himself brought Enada into the conversation, mentioning her unparalleled discipline at work and the strict dietary regimes she follows. This strict way of living of Enada, according to Gerdid, continued in their family life:
"I never made decisions, I agreed with the decisions that Enada made. I agreed or accepted the decisions that Enada made. There were certain moments that I probably could not agree with, even in terms of work, we talk a lot, but I always maintained, I wanted that calm. I wanted that calm, I didn't want, I didn't want to create situations."
And this perfectionism seems to have become a problem for their relationship over time:
"It's very difficult to work together. It's beautiful at first. During the journey, you then realize that things become even more difficult, because in my work, in my profession, I haven't always had that... let's call it 'selfishness', or always selfishness for the good of Nada."
Nada loved ballet to the extreme, to the extreme, and the profession was in a way very important and primary for Enada. For me it wasn't, it's what we started with at the beginning, for me there was a kind of limit up to here. Up to here I can go, beyond that I can't.
"I can't work with schedules that no longer sustain me, that no longer give me pleasure. I work as long as I get pleasure beyond my pleasures, I don't go outside my pleasures."
Gerdi further spoke about how the divorce from Enada affected him. He expressed that he had lost a lot and lost himself during that difficult period:
"In this life, if at some point Nada ultimately lost Gerdin, I may have lost many things along my journey. [...] My personality, my dignity, my character, the real Gerdin I was, laughing with friends, with comrades, with many things. [...] I focused on my family, I focused on my profession, I focused completely on another life. [...] I definitely went out of myself, I went out of myself for love, I went out of myself for my profession, for my career."
