Grandson of Silvio Santos, Tiago Abravanel was moved when recalling his grandfather’s journey during an interview with Fantástico this Sunday 18 “We [família] There are no words to thank you for all the love and affection we have received. It is a blow to the heart,” he said.

After the farewell ceremony, Tiago described how the event was intimate and exactly how Silvio wanted it: “Without ostentation, without fuss, all together, taking care of each other, hugging each other and remembering who he was for each person. [Foi algo] simple, delicate, intimate, so that we can say goodbye to Senor Abravanel, and that Silvio Santos remains in our memory forever.”

The ceremony was attended by his daughters, wife, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, close friends and co-workers. Tiago also recalled a moment that marked the family during his grandfather’s farewell, when the rabbi mentioned that Silvio wanted a world where everyone could be happy and celebrate.

“The music [Do mundo não se leva nada] He was so marked by history, I think it says exactly who he was and who he believed in, that we don’t take anything from the world, that we just have to smile and sing.”

The family watched with emotion the tributes broadcast on all television channels. “[Mesmo sabendo de toda essa história dele]the surprise was to understand his greatness”, commented Tiago.

Silvio Santos, “the man with the trunk,” also had a more personal and shy side. Tiago said that, at the end of his life, Silvio discovered the Internet and enjoyed shopping online. “He was on the Internet shopping online. I said, what? Are you shopping online?”

Tiago also said that, although he had not been very close to his grandfather as a child due to his fame, their relationship strengthened over time: “I remember that when I became a professional, the profession united us in this intimate relationship.”

Silvio Santos has always been an important and inspiring figure for the family, which ended up having other artists and presenters. Tiago highlighted this importance of his grandfather: “[Quando fui trabalhar na Globo] He said, ‘Be very happy. Do what you’ve always wanted to do and recognize your value.’ All of Brazil is a little bit of a son of Silvio Santos. A little bit of a grandson of Silvio Santos. And it doesn’t die.”
