Early life

Born in Ballsh, Mallakastër, Albania, Roshi faced significant hardships from a young age.

He began as a prompter and quickly rose to prominence, becoming a central figure in Albanian theater.[5] In 1947, he was granted the opportunity to study in Zagreb, Croatia. However, due to political tensions between Yugoslavia and Albania, he transferred to Prague, Czech Republic, where he completed his studies with distinction.[6]
