Actress and singer Nastasya Samburskaya spoke about Valentine’s Day misfortune on the show “Meanwhile.”
On February 14, Samburskaya opened up about never having had a girlfriend. She explained that she has had relationships before and after the holiday, but not during Valentine’s Day itself. The performer described her dating luck as unlucky in that moment, suggesting that timing played a part in her romantic fortunes.
During the broadcast, host Denis Dorokhov handed Samburskaya a Valentine’s Day card that featured a provocative image. She noted that the gift drew a mixed reaction from viewers, saying that the others could not simply brush it off and that something had to be addressed. “It feels like I’m being left behind in advance,” the artist shared, reflecting on how such gestures can land differently with an audience.
Samburskaya also admitted that she had hoped to receive a red checkered Dior bag for February 14, a desire she described with a touch of playful longing.
“So has anyone gotten you one yet?” asked presenter Garik Kharlamov, prompting a light moment in the studio as the conversation shifted toward gifts and expectations on a day of romance.
Dorokhov added a tease of aspiration, suggesting that the artist consider looking for a partner who could come with greater means. Samburskaya, with a candid smile, said she did not object to that possibility, keeping the mood both teasing and entertained.
She later recalled that she had been married once, to actor Kirill Dytsevich, from 2017 to 2018. Samburskaya revealed that her ex-husband had shown aggression, admitting that he raised his hand against her and subjected her to emotional abuse. The disclosure highlighted a difficult chapter and underscored the importance of safety and respect in relationships.
Previously, Samburskaya had spoken about wanting to plan an original, memorable date, indicating a preference for unique experiences over conventional gestures. The conversation painted a portrait of a performer who values authenticity, humor, and the emotional complexities of love and loyalty, even on a day dedicated to romance. Some moments felt lighthearted, others more reflective, all contributing to a portrait of a public figure navigating personal history in a very public setting.
