Sophia says that her mother is a very simple woman at home. She reveals that Zarika does all chores at home and even has time for them despite her busy schedule.

“It is simple when it comes to my mother. She has two different shades that people don’t know about. At home she does chores, cooks, plays around with us and something about her always brings our family together,” said Sophia.
