Minh Nhi: "Chi Tai's health is stable while filming the game show"

Artist Minh Nhi is still shocked and emotional after the sudden passing of his senior. The male artist said that on the afternoon of December 9, while teaching, a colleague informed him that comedian Chi Tai had died of a stroke. At that time, he thought it was fake news, not true.

“I had to ask many times about the news of Chi Tai’s death. I could not believe that he had passed away so suddenly. After that, I went online and saw countless colleagues and audiences sharing the news of his death from a stroke. I was speechless, bewildered, and unable to continue teaching,” the male artist said.

According to Minh Nhi, about a month ago, he filmed a game show with the late artist. At that time, comedian Chi Tai's health was stable, with no signs of illness. Backstage, he still made his colleagues laugh and joke around.

“That day of filming was a lot of fun. Chi Tai was healthy and energetic. I saw that he was even healthier than me. Tai said he exercised regularly to stay healthy and ate regularly. I saw him performing and filming all the time so I didn’t think he would pass away so suddenly,” the male artist said.

Minh Nhi said that in real life, artist Chi Tai is gentle, cheerful, and likes to help colleagues and people around him. In more than 15 years of working together, artist Minh Nhi has never had to argue or get angry with his senior.

“He never offended anyone. I often like to tease Chi Tai because he doesn’t hold grudges or complain. We have the same taste in clothes, which is colorful clothes. In the profession, I get along well with him,” the artist said.

Although he was easy-going and gentle, the late artist was careful and serious about his career. Artist Minh Nhi revealed that during rehearsals for shows, Chi Tai always asked someone to record the scenes with a phone.

“When I asked him why he was re-recording the rehearsal, Chi Tai said: "I re-recorded it to go home and see if he was stealing Minh Nhi's part, or you'd have to tell me." He was always afraid of affecting his juniors," the actor shared.

"Recently, Chi Tai also did charity work in the Central region."

Actress Thuy Diem said the last time she met comedian Chi Tai was in November. At that time, the late artist was volunteering to help people in the Central region who were facing difficulties due to floods.

“The two brothers had a chance to meet when they stayed at the same hotel during a charity trip in Hue. At that time, Chi Tai was in the same group with actor Hieu Hien and some other artists. When I met him, I asked about his health and work. I saw that his skin was rosy and his smile was radiant,” said actorRed sandshare.

“I never expected that would be his last charity trip. I miss him – a talented and kind artist,” she said.
