At the age of 26, the singer Sogdiana has already managed to endure a difficult divorce, after which a foreign husband took her son to India for upbringing, successfully marry a second time and give birth to another son. Today she is full of creative powers, she recently released a new album.

Don't you think that some moments in your life are like movies?

Yes, I generally have one continuous movie and not always a comedy … This is a series, one might say. I think that in my life you can make an interesting multi-part film and everything will be there … Will not yield to any Mexican series in terms of passions. Life turned out to be a good scriptwriter, unexpected and interesting. Sometimes these plot twists happen!

Blitz survey "Cleo":

- Are you friends with the Internet?

- I made friends, but I haven't been sucked in there yet. (Laughs) I work on my website, use search engines, watch videos, but I'm not on social networks.

- What is an unacceptable luxury for you?

- I can't afford a vacation yet. But I really, really want to.

- Where did you spend your last vacation?

- I was in Dubai. My husband and I swam, sunbathed, saw the sights. We went to the world's largest aquarium.

- Did you have a nickname as a child?

- Yes. At school I was called a giraffe because I was the tallest in my class.

- Are you an owl or a lark?

- Owl.

- How do you relieve stress?

- Valerian. (Laughs)

Yeah, everyone knows about your melodramatic story with your ex-husband and son. How are things going now? Do you see your eldest son?

If possible, of course, see each other. Not the way I would like to see him every day, every hour. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way, but I'm happy that we are seeing each other. I know many examples when women do not see their children at all, so I am grateful that the situation is developing this way. I think that in the future my ex-husband will be even more loyal. And we will see our son even more often.

What do you do when you meet?

We play, of course … He is so uncommunicative now … Apparently, he has more adults around him, and therefore he is a little isolated. He loves to walk in parks, sit near the fountain, walk, touch some water, feed the ducks. That is, some noisy events: slides, circuses - not for him. He does not like all this and, I would even say, shuns.

I, of course, get a little upset, because it seems to me that in childhood you have to go through all this: circuses, and clowns, and slides to nausea - this is normal for a child. I think that over time he will understand that this is all interesting.

Is a serious man growing?

Yes, serious. For this birthday, I gave him a house, and they tell me that he simply does not come out of there. This is such a big playhouse for children. As I am told, he put all his toys there, he also has a mattress there, he rests there during the day. You can invite friends, nanny, dad there. Of course, I can imagine how great and fun it is, but I really want to join them, I want to go to him again in the near future.

What language do you speak?

Son of Sogdiana speaks Russian.

Also knows and uses English and Indian words. I think this is good, he will have three languages at once. They study English with him. In general, I want him to know his native language, English and, of course, Russian, where without him.

How is your second son doing?

We are already 8 months old, he is already crawling with might and main, already sitting down, very cheerful, smiling, friendly. I love that he understands humor. When, for example, you make a face for him, he starts laughing! He understands that you play with him like that. Sometimes he even asks to be played with him like that. Such a good guy. Pah-pah-pah. I am very pleased that he loves to spend time with me. And if I leave, he starts to protest, immediately pulls the handle, cries … Therefore, I have to distract him with toys, cars. And if I need it on business, I quietly run away.

Well, of course, you always want to go home to him as soon as possible. It's just unbearable for me not to see him for a whole day or even two. I really want to organize my schedule so that I can spend more time with it.

Are you sitting with your son, changing diapers?

- What turns you on?

- My most important energizer is my child.

- Which animal do you associate yourself with?

- My husband says that I am a tigress. But they tell me that I look like a doe.

- Do you have a talisman?

- No. I don't like talismans. You can't get attached to them. Because if I suddenly forget him somewhere, I will think that now I will not succeed.

- What melody is on your mobile phone?

- On my Vertu - a standard melody, on an iPhone - a standard iPhone melody.

- What is your psychological age?

- Sometimes, when I am led round my finger, I feel like a girl … And sometimes it seems to me that I live a long time.

- What is your favorite aphorism?

- My husband often says: "Born to crawl will not be able to fly."

Naturally. And if last time I had nannies and assistants who stayed with the child around the clock, they were physically unable to leave, since they were from Bryansk. Now I spend most of my time with him myself, no one stays at night, I am with him all the time. It seems to me that this is more correct.

How, then, do you manage to combine childcare and work?

It is not so difficult. If I go to some shooting, events, then I do not stay there for a long time, I do not hang out, like many artists, but immediately go home. Yes, I go out quite a lot, I shoot a lot, but I am strict, I come right to the beginning of the event. Well, how long a shooting or a custom concert can last - 40 minutes, well, an hour. And then ran home to my son. In my opinion, the main thing is to want and explain to the people with whom you work, and everything will work out.

Don't you take him anywhere with you?

Not yet, he's so small. But there are thoughts that soon it will be possible to take it with you. And to teach that in addition to the people who surround him, there is another world, other people. Even in the ninth month, children already know and understand who is their own and who is a stranger. And they react very negatively to strangers.

I really want him to be sociable, sociable. I really want to accustom him to this. Therefore, as I grow up, I will definitely take it with me. Not everywhere, of course, but I will definitely attend some significant and interesting events.

Do you do household chores yourself or do you have an assistant?

Of course, there is an assistant. But I often cook myself. When I have time, I cook with pleasure, I am very pleased to please my homemade dishes. Not to order something from a restaurant, but to cook something with your soul. It is very pleasant, especially if it is tasty and everyone likes it.

Do you have a signature dish?

When I didn't know how to cook, I knew what to say: I have a signature dish such and such, such and such. Because you can’t do anything else, and when you already know how, it’s very difficult to say which one is the crown. I cook everything. If they tell me “We want pilaf” or “Prepare samsa” - please … Bashir has his favorite cakes - I make them with pleasure. And even if I don't know how to do something, I'll see how to cook it. Although I remember, once something didn't work out for me, I threw out half. I generally have a problem with hot. I do not always succeed in frying, because I am afraid not to fry it, but in the end I overcook it so that you cannot remove it from the pan … It turns out something oak and black. I even have burns from the oil. But I can cook, bake, bake, fry without oil. And I'm afraid in oil, but everyone says that it is harmful, which means that it is not necessary.

You said that your spouse loves cakes, and what kind of cakes are they?

This is a traditional dish that his mother has been preparing since childhood. She taught me. Flatbreads and national pies. They can simply be prepared like bread, or you can make them with pumpkin, cabbage, potatoes, cheese, meat, whatever. It is such a versatile thing that you can eat for breakfast and just like bread. In any case, they always come in handy on the table.

Did your husband's mom teach you how to cook?

Yes. I have heard how well she cooks. Bashir said that no one cooks so fast, so delicious! In general, she became such a role model. She came, we met, she treated me very well, like a daughter, with all her heart. And she showed me some things. More precisely, she just cooked, and I watched. Now I can call her at any time and clarify some things. She is an amazing hostess, all hand movements are polished, everything is clear and fast, and how she works with the dough! I still have to study and study.

To be honest, at first it was even scary: but if I can. But the eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing. And I couldn't even fry sausages before. Of course, I didn't succeed right away, at first everything was not so smooth, but, most importantly, it was delicious. It's getting better now.

It turns out that your husband has an example of an ideal woman and mistress - this is his mother. But you are a creative person, you have no time for cooking, you are constantly at concerts, on the road. How does your spouse feel about this?

He treats this very well and, most importantly, he understands me. I told him from the very beginning that I am a creative person and not a housewife, I do not have time to do some things with all my desire. And he understands this very well. In our family life, there is no such obligatory item that I have to wash, clean, iron and the like. But if our au pair doesn’t come, and my house is not cleaned, I will not walk and step over the mud. In no case! I'll take it and clean it myself, I love order.

Isn't your husband jealous of your fans and popularity?

Never noticed. On the contrary, he is proud of me, he is pleased when I am praised, invited to concerts, when there is shooting.

Do you show him new material?

Yes.

Does he criticize?

It happens. We even argue sometimes. It was like that with one song. I feel that it is mine, and he says: no, not yours. When I receive a demo of a new song, I already understand how it will look in the end, but he does not see the big picture. But when I recorded the song in the studio, he admitted that I was right. Well, the truth is born in an argument.

In general, we do not often argue, we communicate more, discuss and come to a common opinion. He prompts something, but leaves me the opportunity to make a decision myself.

Many women, after an unsuccessful first marriage, are afraid to get married a second time. Didn't you have this fear?

In my opinion, the main thing is to listen to your heart. And trust your first feeling. Our first sensations - our heart speaks, and then we begin to think, analyze - and then our mind speaks. I listened to my heart.
