Tony was consistently motivated by his mother Lali Alexander and his sister Teena Christopher. His mother was a single parent for both these kids, from their infant years she inculcated the virtues of integrity and hard work into both of them. She was a tough woman, who worked hard in a Govt Job to provide for her children. She was a logic driven woman who was very good at Mathematics and also a gifted dancer.
