The story behind the name “Chichi”? 

When my brother Yo was small, he found it difficult to pronounce ‘chooty’ (small) malli. So once, at a party, he had been stuffing his pockets with food. One of the aunties had asked him as to why he was not eating the food but stuffing it in his pockets, and he had replied saying, “This is for my chichi (supposed to be chooty) malli’. At the time of this incident I was about 1 or 2 months old, since then everyone calls me ‘chichi’.

Your love for racing, when did it start?  

From the day we were exposed to vehicles, always loved being fast and I love the adrenaline rush you get in fast things. 

Do you like being called Chichi? 

Yes, I just want everyone to call me that and nothing else. 

How were you in school? I was decent, did my work, had a bunch of friends from my younger days and never changed them.

How would you describe yourself in two words? “Just right”

What is your favourite thing to spend money on? Bikes and cars. 

What is the weirdest thing about you? Are you proud of it? 

Always needing to make everyone around me workout, especially my girlfriend. I am not proud of it, but I do feel good when I see the people around me fit and healthy.

As the President’s son, two disadvantages you face personally? 

1-Public eye on everything I do

2- Lack of freedom in society and the restriction on my girlfriend and friends in their personal lives. 

 

How are you at home?  I am the same person I am outside.

Your fashion statement?  Anything that makes me look fit and strong. I try out almost all the styles but I am not too picky since mostly anything fits perfectly. 

What would be your PERFECT day? Wake up and workout with my girlfriend and friends, finish my work, have the freedom to face the rest of the day, watching movies and riding bikes and end it with a good dinner with all my friends.

Something you admire in your Dad? I admire his commitment to staying healthy and working out every morning.

Something you admire in your mom? I admire her eagerness to help people.

Are you a Mamma’s boy, or a Dadda’s boy? I play as a parents' boy, having both is better in every way.

Where do you like to shop? I shop everywhere, anything that fits perfect will be purchased, price and name does not matter.  However, for belts and shoes LV is my brand. 

‘IF’

If you could have personally witnessed anything, what would you want to have seen? 

I have seen the world, the only thing remaining is out of space, which I strongly believe I will see in a few years.

If you could pick any car.. what will you choose? 

1967 fastback Shelby GT500 (Eleanor)

If you woke up one day looking like Yo, what would you do?  Grow my hair, run to my girlfriend’s closet and burn it, get her a new set of clothes and give her freedom to choose her own style of clothing with no restrictions. Send my girlfriend to a cosmetic surgeon and get her birthmark removed, go run to Yo’s room , grab his ID and credit card and shop as much as I want to and meet the girlfriend's parents and go propose that I am about the age to get married and put Yo in a bit of trouble and hide till I recover my same old good looks as Chichi. Hahaha basically to create chaos.

If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which one would you choose? Spartacus 

If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

A good yummy chicken burger.

On the Spot

Rugby/racing - first choice? RUGBY
