Back in 2008, former TVB actress Gigi Lai, 51, famously left showbiz at the peak of her career, to care for her dermatologist younger brother as well as take over his skincare clinic business. He was left wheelchair-bound after a taxi crashed into the cab he was riding in 2007.
Nonetheless, Gigi continues to thrive outside the acting spotlight, making headlines for her age-defying beauty. The entrepreneur is also a mother-of-three, having tied the knot with billionaire Patrick Ma in 2008. The couple has three daughters together.
In a recent interview on talk show A Date With Lu Yu, Gigi shared more about what went through her mind when she decided to quit showbiz to care for her brother.
“He was in a coma, and what should we do with the business he’d left behind, should we shut it down? Or should we carry on with what he’d shed his blood, sweat and tears for? To both of us, as well as our family, it was a barrier of sorts. After he woke up from his coma, he couldn’t speak or move, he was in a vegetative state,” Gigi recalled.
