After the "Eurovision" everyone is just talking about your friendship with Philip Kirkorov. What is it like being friends with a megastar of the Russian stage?
Impressions that Philip produces from the television screen and magazine pages - the opposite of what he really is. Philip gives me every kind of moral support - before meeting him I did not meet a man in show business who would clearly understand the meaning of the word "friend". He bribes with his energy, but he can also sarcast, he does not tolerate insults in his address. I learned to understand it.
You have become aware of the backstage of Russian show business. How is it different from Ukrainian?
When a person does not take place, he is vulnerable and aggressive. This is a true portrait of Ukrainian show business. In Russia every artist has his own audience, his own niche. Therefore, communication between colleagues takes place there, at a more civilized level. Nobody is fighting for the order of performance in the concert, does not buy awards and voting results.
Yuri Falesa once played a major role in your creative and personal life. Are you grateful for the promotion or deleted this period from memory?
You can not cross out the good things that were in life. I am grateful to Yuri for his work and warmth, he replaced me then my father, brother and friend, because I've been on the stage since I was fifteen. I will always remember our life together. Now we support normal human relations.
You are friends with Lilia Podkopaeva. Help your friend advice in her current family troubles?
Another's life is darkness. I think that Lilya and Timofey will sort out their relations. To be together or divorced is their own business. Sometimes people overestimate their own abilities, thinking that they can give advice to others in such intimate matters. The main thing is that family quarrels should never be detrimental to children.
With your beloved Murat you live in Kiev for four years already. How do "eastern" relatives of your civil husband react to such a "free marriage"?
He has understanding parents. In Istanbul, I was officially introduced to his relatives, met his older sisters. Murat is the youngest in the family. The father died when he was twenty years old. Murat from a poor family, but I did not seek a sponsor for my life. I just found my true love.
And what if Murat demands admission of Islam, to move to his homeland and wears a hijab?
He knows that I will not go to Turkey, and we will not have friction. On the contrary, for my sake Murat abandoned his business and family, moved to Kiev, where he began to live from scratch, began to learn the language. Restaurant "Angel" - our joint offspring, but I just acted as a muse, and all the worries lie with my husband. Now he has his own travel agency.
Scenes of jealousy because of the specifics of your profession at home are often?
I am grateful to Murat for understanding, he remembers that I am a show business man. Moreover, when a person loves, he does not think about his own selfishness, but about how best it will be for the beloved. He accepted the conditions of the uneasy life of the actress and my irregular schedule, because he loves me.
How do you and Murat distribute household duties?
We do not have a clear distinction. If I have, it turns out, in time - I am engaged in a house. Because of unwashed dishes, we have not had scandals. In the evening, after coming home from work, Murat himself prepares dinner, and sends me to rest. Murat cooks breakfasts very tasty, and serves me in bed. Deliciously prepares dishes of Italian cuisine, especially tagliatelle.
How do you like to spend your holidays?
Everything depends on the mood: in the circle of friends, and in solitude. On my 30th birthday, Murat and I left for Paris. I'm a very public person, but sometimes I want to be intimate and touching alone with my beloved man.
You have a figurative figure - the subject of envy of many women and the rapturous looks of men. Is it a gift of nature or the fruits of persistent labor over oneself?
A good figure was partly inherited from me. I'll tell you a secret: I do not sit up to exhaustion in gyms - I have my tricks: half an hour of gymnastics every morning, do not overeat after 6 pm and do not eat bread. And most importantly - to be on the move!
How do you regain strength after concerts and tours?
Healthy sleep and positive emotions are the guarantee of everything! There are unpleasant working moments, but I try not to get depressed. I'm fifteen years on the stage: I probably already developed immunity for gossip and scandals.
You are 30 years old. Many women are afraid to reach this milestone. How are you feeling?
I never thought about the age and until now I feel like a twenty-year-old girl. First of all you need to take care of your inner worldview, but at the same time, of course, do not forget about the achievements in the field of cosmetology and sports. Often, standing in front of a mirror and going to an important event, I encourage myself and praise myself: "Beauty, a princess, a queen!" And how did you think? To trumpet success, you must necessarily believe in yourself and your strength!
