Russian actress Alena Khmelnitskaya became the heroine of the Secret for a Million program. During the transfer, the star revealed many secrets, among them it turned out that both of her daughters were born abroad. What interesting things did the star say?
Many celebrities prefer giving birth abroad, sometimes this opportunity also falls to ordinary citizens. My friend has three children, and they were all born in different countries. She gave birth to her first child in Russia, the second - in France, the third - in Singapore.
The first child was born when she was in her 20s. It was the beginning of the 2000s in a small town near Moscow. There was almost no milk, the formidable nanny tried by hook or by crook to squeeze it out, and also put him on a diet of buckwheat and marshmallows. Zephyr was needed as a treat, so that it would not be so sad and dizzy, but it was recommended not to swallow it, but to spit it out. So they took care of the absence of allergies in mother and child.
Childbirth in France, compared with Russian ones, seemed fabulous. Attentive staff, no diets (eat what you want, mommy), comfort, quick discharge and solid positive. The third child was born in Singapore, and it was a birth in the coming future, which most Russian maternity hospitals will not reach in the next century.
From the stories of friends and movie stars, I realized one interesting thing. Conditions in different countries can be different and very similar in terms of comfort level. But the main thing that distinguishes them is their attitude to the arrival of a new life, which Khmelnitskaya also said in the program.
Alena Khmelnitskaya and Tigran Keosayan have two daughters. Both were born outside of Russia. The eldest daughter Sasha was born in 1994 in Sweden, the youngest Ksyusha - in 2010 in France.
Why did you decide to give birth in France?
“It so happened that in Moscow I went to be examined in a clinic that was half French. There was a doctor there, he spoke excellent Russian, he lived between Moscow and Nice for a very long time. And when we realized that we would have to give birth in the summer, it was very logical. Everyone is relaxing, the whole family is on the beach... "
Is there a difference - to give birth in Russia or in France?
“But I didn’t give birth in Russia. I gave birth to Sasha in Sweden. At that time, my parents worked in Stockholm, at the Royal Opera and Ballet Theatre. And if they were working for me at that moment in Norilsk, I would fly to Norilsk. I wanted to visit my mother. Well, plus Sweden.
Where is it better to give birth - in Sweden or in France?
“In Sweden everything is very democratic. It seems to me that both the queen and the common man give birth in the same conditions. And then they lie not in a single room, but in a common room behind curtains. And in France I had a separate ward. France is more comfortable. And in terms of my brain, I was more comfortable at 39.”
Is it true that in France they bring champagne after childbirth?
"Not true. I asked for it in Sweden. Brought.
In Sweden, more lisping. They make a miracle out of it! Nurses fly over you like fairies: let's do this, let's do that... After you give birth, they read you a description of how everything happened. I even have such a letter. Then you are taken to the ward and given a blue or pink pin for statistics (how many boys and girls were born). And I stuck this pink pin into the wall. Well, that's touching!"
The topic of children is closed
Alena Khmelnitskaya recently turned 51, she is in a long-term relationship with a man who is 13 years younger. The actress is glad that her companion Alexander already has a teenage son, because the issue of joint children has already been closed due to her age.
“I am done with childbearing. I know that's it. Thank God that Sasha has a son, because if he had no children, something would have to be decided. I would love to give birth to a child from Sasha, but I think that at this age it is dangerous. When, at the age of well over 50, women begin to give birth, I think it's strange. Because then you need to rely on someone - on older children... Well, this is life, there is some time.
What Alena Khmelnitskaya captivates with is her rare adequacy and sanity in relation to different situations. This is clearly seen in her live interviews, which perfectly highlight the personality of a person.
