A family comedy was recently released “Dads vs. moms”. Churina played one of the main roles in it. The artist has been happily married to Alexei Petrukhin for 17 years. They met in Prague on the set of a film “Men’s Season: The Velvet Revolution”. Alexey clearly showed himself in the cinema: as an actor, he worked in films “Viy”, “Brigade: Heir”; he is a film director “Teacher”, “The last exam”; screenwriter of the projects “The Secret of the Dragon Seal”, “I’m not like that! I’m not like that!”; film producer “We won’t say goodbye”, “On the shore of a dream” and many others.
In an exclusive interview with VOICE, the actress revealed the secret to a happy marriage. “Our family had various problems – external and internal,” Churina said. – But if you love a person and have decided to spend your life with them, you will always find an approach to them and a way to resolve potential conflict situations. The main thing is the mutual respect of the partners for each other.
The couple has a daughter, Ksenia. The girl was playing cassettes “Teacher”, “We won’t say goodbye”, “Shaman”. Her mother often appears at social events. Anna says that she willingly supports her colleagues by going to the premieres of films and series. But Petrukhin is published very rarely.
“Sometimes I go to premieres with my daughter Ksenia,” Anna said. – Every summer, three years in a row, we go to Gorky fest – this is a festival of new Russian cinema, which takes place in Nizhny Novgorod. My husband is not a socialist. And he works hard. Alexei often watches movies, but at home or in cinemas as an ordinary viewer. Of course, I offer my husband to go with me to the star premiere. But I know what his answer will be. Sometimes he goes to film festivals with me, and then the two of us come to screenings.
A few years ago, Churina said that she could not be strict when raising a child. It has become more principled over the years.
“In our family, Alexei is softer than me when it comes to raising my daughter,” the movie star admitted. – I can say that, for example, this is unacceptable. Ksenia is already an adult – she is 16 years old. At this age it is almost useless to educate. You can just be friends, which is what we do. I hope he perceives me as a very close person. Of course, as a mother, I tell her some things. Because at such an adolescent age, people are a sausage – their mood jumps. Now crying, then euphoria, joy, energy. Ksyusha is calling me “with a crazy broom”, because I constantly take everyone for walks, on various trips. All my relatives finally agree.”
The actress experienced a lot of stress on the set of the comedy “Dads vs. moms.” Anna was afraid of being bitten by a snake. She came to the premiere of the tape with Ksenia.
Earlier, the movie star revealed the secret to improving her appearance. Churina named her favorite cosmetic procedures. “I’m not against subtle plastic surgery, which I might do one day,” admitted Anna.
