• In childhood, Abdu was detected with rickets, a growth hormone deficiency which could be cured with appropriate medical treatment. However, his family could not provide him with the treatment as their financial condition was not so good. As a result, his body growth was stunted. During an interview, when he was asked whether his self-confidence was affected by his medical condition, he said,
  

  Not really. I know a lot of people who have no job, no good family, and no money. I’ve had my fair share of struggles, too, but I am happy with where I’ve reached now. I shared the stage with the biggest composer in the world; what more do I want in my career? I’d like to inspire people who have a similar condition. I believe everyone is special in some way.”
