Soon, Natalia fell into depression and stopped leaving the house. Alexander was worried about his wife’s condition and took harsh measures. “I realized I couldn’t use my energy. I got really depressed. It was very difficult for me to recover. I remember the moment when Sasha entered the room and opened the curtains with the words: “Get up! If you want, go to the gym or something. Let’s recover somehow.” And I was still covered in pimples. I have terrible acne. I was normally covered, “the star admitted.
Producer Max Fadeev helped the department. “He was very reassuring and supportive. We kept in touch. He said, ‘Don’t worry, everything will be great. You’ll be back.’ He is my Lída’s godfather.

Sometimes they come to me and say: “I know your daughter Lída. I want her autograph,” the star boasted on the YouTube show Factory with Yana Chu.
