On "Grida Duma Podcast" came a candid and unfiltered account of Mehdi Malkaj about his son's long and painful battle with drugs.

Without dramatization and without victimization, the great actor spoke like a father, with simple and true words that carry weight.

"The most beautiful and happiest thing about this time was the moment when it was confirmed that the boy had won a battle," says Malkaj, calling this victory greater than any personal or professional success.

He says the boy was only 15 when he first tried the drug, at a time when no one really understood what it was or how destructive it could be. “Teenagers fall in love with what they see, not what is,” he says, describing the addiction as a false love that lasted longer than it should have.

Malkaj speaks openly about sleepless nights, about endless searches in the streets of Tirana with his wife, about the efforts to be a friend to his son and not just an authoritarian parent. A long, tiring and uncertain road, where nothing was guaranteed.

One of the most touching moments of the story is related to the relationship between brother and sister. According to Malkaj, the sister's love turned into a strong light of hope and healing for the boy. "He is now all life, all light. He has brought light, joy, happiness to the house," he says, remembering the first family vacation in many years, where the boy was at the wheel, serious and correct.

"I'm impressed now by the love he has for his sister. She says, 'You owe me 10 kisses,'" he said, describing the bond between the sister and brother.

In the end, Mehdi Malkaj conveys a strong and rare message about the way drugs are talked about.

"Never curse 'I gave the kids drugs'. It's a big, very big war. I'm one eye and ear here and one eye there. You never know," he says, admitting that vigilance never ends, but believing that love, family and time can work miracles.

"My wife and I washed the streets of Tirana. All night long, thinking we would find the boy, we couldn't find him, he came by himself," Malkaj said at one point in the podcast.
