In a candid talk with TV host Yulia Menshova, Svetlana Ivanova recalled her experience filming alongside singer Kristina Orbakaite in the series Pregnancy Test. The actress noted that the idea of working with Orbakaite had already seemed promising because Ivanova’s husband, Janik Fayziev, frequently praises the performer. Fayziev previously collaborated with Orbakaite on the TV program Old Songs About the Main Thing, a project that left a strong impression on Ivanova. She described Orbakaite as someone who is exceptionally perceptive about the surrounding energy, even jokingly calling her partner in the show a “son” she found—an affectionate nickname tied to their shared work.
