Photo: Mikhail AfanasyevNatalya, what do you remember about your recent trip to the Maldives?It's not the first time we've been vacationing with children in the Maldives,so we knew where we were going. First of all - it's an incredibly beautiful underwater world! I went on vacation because my aesthetic look required bright colors, and the Maldives is a blue sky, a juicy green grass, a turquoise sea and very tasty tropical fruits. In the winter, this is the most wonderful place for a family holiday. My children and I spent a wonderful holiday together. In addition, the islands are not crowded, but for me - the less people, the better. What did the children do on holiday?My son did a lot of diving and saw huge turtles.stingrays, sharks. Ivan grew up watching BBC films, so he knows all the sea creatures by name, as they say. My son was very interested! Since he is into hockey 7 days a week, this trip was primarily a way for him to unload his brain. He is a little diving hockey player who loves active sports and swimming. And what is Maria's hobby?My daughter has books! She already reads works for the 7th grade, although she studies only in the 3rd grade. I read the entire library. She also studies languages and is fond of photography, and I periodically visit her as a model. Does Moscow manage to find time and stay together?Certainly.When we are at home with the children, we play blind man's bluff or come up with some new games for our leisure time together. But, mostly, we try to go somewhere, change the scenery. We have favorite places where we like to ride horses or walk outside the city. What is the most important thing for you in raising children?What my children will grow up to be depends entirely on me.completely from me. Such concepts as love, kindness, are laid down from the birth of the child. You can talk, teach, moralize as much as you like, these are all words. Because only by your own example can you show how to live, and then the child makes his own choice. But first and foremost - the concept of love comes from the parents.1/2Photo: Mikhail AfanasyevPhoto: Mikhail AfanasyevIf your acting career hadn’t worked out, what would you have been doing?I'm a creative person to the bone! Now I can talk about this boldly, because I have been searching for a long time in my work. I write pictures, and sing, but I treat this as a hobby, it is unlikely that I can become a pop singer, like Philip Kirkorov. But nevertheless all this is interesting to me. I could direct the direction, write scripts. Most of all I like drawing. I always painted and will continue, regardless of whether it brings me this income or not. The Year of the Rooster just started, and I've already written three paintings! And did not you think to go on tour with a singer?Perhaps, everything is yet to come! I have recently recorded a few songs and now I'm preparing a concert program. Tell me, are you painfully experiencing gossip, various rumors and criticisms in your address?Criticism and rumors are completely different things. Criticism is normal and businesslike, as I understand that we are moving forward with this. And I'm indifferent to rumors and gossip in my address, and in general I try not to pay attention to them. You know, I do not listen to myself, and I do not speak ill of others about other people and colleagues. Do not be offended when you are called a "serial actress"?No, I'm not offended, because it was the series that made me popular.Photo: Mikhail AfanasyevNew films and serials with your participation are planned to be released on the screens?Oh sure. We have already shot a few pilot series, which are scheduled for release in the spring. From the Russian or Western film novels, have you been impressed by anything recently?I have not seen Russian films for a long time. And the TV has ceased to look still about ten years ago, at me and its house is not present. In cinemas, of course, I go, but on foreign films. From the latter I can mention the film with Jude Law "The Young Daddy", I also liked the "Eighth Sense". And from old works I really like the "Black Mirror". How do you, my mother of two children, manage to stay in such a beautiful form?I have children who are athletes and I need themcorrespond. I do sports myself, we have an active lifestyle, we eat right, and this is very important. It is a deep misconception of many mothers that having children is a reason to look bad. Of course, a good figure, skin and hair are a lot of work and daily work on yourself, because I am an example for my son and daughter.
