Greek singer Marios Frangoulis discussed his upbringing and professional life during an appearance on the television show 'Kalytera Arga'. He recounted that his parents separated when he was young, leading to his brother living with their mother abroad while he remained in Greece with his aunt. Frangoulis revealed that he faced persistent bullying during his primary school years due to his family structure, which led him to ask his aunt to be referred to as his mother to avoid harassment.
