Gading also recounts his first impression when reading the script MENDUDA. He said that not only the plot but also the characters in this series are very similar to what he experienced in the past.

MENDUDA tells the story of a man's life after divorcing his wife and having a daughter.

"When I was offered the story idea titled 'menduda', I read it and thought, 'Wow, this is so me,' so I ended up playing a character that is roughly 11 or 12 similar to Gading," he said.

2. Just a Coincidence

"The character is similar, has one daughter who is growing up and has a fun relationship with her parents, this character enjoys hanging out with friends, and that's me too. The difference is this is after the divorce, recalling my experiences from a few years ago," he continued.

Moreover, when asked further, Gading admitted that he did not question the writer about the storyline being similar to his life. According to him, the similarity in the story is just a coincidence.

"No, it's not like I'm the only widower; if there are similarities, that's just coincidence because this story is purely fictional, but I'm happy to be invited to this project," he remarked.
