Singer Olga Buzova recalled ballerina Anastasia Volochkova in a discussion about drinking and bravado. The presenter’s remark was captured in a quote featured by StarHit.
“The other day we had Anastasia Volochkova, and she can comment on both courage and mood,” the star joked, lightening the studio atmosphere with a playful line.
In the programme titled “Is This Normal?” the host posed a question about whether alcohol can be used to summon courage. One guest, speaking about his own tendencies, admitted that he tends to be introverted but feels more relaxed after a few drinks. The audience pushed back, arguing that alcohol isn’t a reliable solution and suggesting alternative methods for confidence and calmness.
Volochkova recently addressed rumors surrounding her relationship with alcohol, stating that she can live without it and does not rely on alcoholic beverages. She explained that she would not reach for alcohol even if the situation were stressful. The dancer emphasized that if she had an addiction, she would not keep up a daily routine that includes three hours in the ballet studio with pointe shoes, underscoring her commitment to fitness and discipline.
In a February publication, she hinted at public attention toward her personal life, noting that many people found her appealing and that this attention sometimes translated into rumors about affairs, including with married men. The ballerina referenced a high-profile relationship with billionaire Suleiman Kerimov as a significant chapter in her life, describing it as a period of intense public scrutiny and personal reflection.
Earlier reports noted changes in leadership roles within entertainment forums. A source indicated that Martirosyan stepped down from the position of chairman of the “New Star Factory” jury, signaling shifts in the show’s management and judging panel.
