Mario Pergolini opened his heart in a recent interview with Nelson Castro on Telenoche. The host, businessman and media figure spoke about the present moment he’s living, his connection with the audience, his family, and surprised with a candid reflection on the future and the possibility of retiring for good.
During the conversation, Castro asked him what he feels when he meets people after so many years of experience and after having led such diverse projects in radio, television and the business world.
“I am grateful. Honestly, people treat me very well. Some for the past and others for the present, so that’s fine,” Pergolini replied naturally.
The Unexpected Confession of Mario Pergolini About His Future
One of the most talked-about moments of the interview arrived when Nelson Castro asked him how he imagines the coming years of his life.
“I swear this isn’t a stance. I always think that I hope I can retire totally… forget about me, I’m not around anymore,” he said between laughter, while hinting that this is a genuine wish.
The remark surprised because it reflected his intention to, at some point, withdraw completely from public exposure and put an end to his career in the media.
Later, he delved deeper into that feeling and explained that it generates a certain frustration at not being able to plan that moment precisely.
“On the one hand it annoys me a lot, as if to say: ‘Crazy, how can someone not be able to manage their life like that?’. And on the other hand I say, well, that’s how it is,” he reflected.
His words showed an honest view about the passage of time and the difficulty of deciding when to close such a long professional chapter.
What Mario Pergolini Said About His Family
In another stretch of the interview, Pergolini also spoke about his private life and the crucial role his family occupies. The host, who tends to keep a reserved profile, reflected on raising his three children, Tomás (32), Matías (28) and Valentina (20), and highlighted especially the importance of his wife, Dolores Galán.
“Three children who went to almost the same institutions and are three completely different people,” he noted as he analyzed how each of them built their own path.
He then explained that this diversity was also possible thanks to the shared work with his partner. “I raised my children beside a woman who showed them another side,” he said, referring to Dolores.
According to him, his wife was a key figure in ensuring his children grew up with a broad view of reality, beyond the public exposure that comes with having such a renowned father. “I think this was a team effort: who I am, who she is, who our children are,” he summed up.
With the sincerity that characterizes him, Pergolini returned to reveal an uncommon facet and left a reflection that sparked reaction: although he remains active and with new projects, he does not rule out that, at some point, the day may come when he decides to withdraw from the media entirely.
