Sweet, kind, self-confident - on the screen Yunnikova created the image of a woman who has everything in order, she is respected, appreciated, sometimes even afraid. However, in real life, the actress had to endure something that even many years later recalls with a trembling voice in the voice of Natalia Yunnikova.
Biography
Natalya Aleksandrovna Yunnikova was born in February 1980 in Lipetsk. The girl from childhood was a creative child. She made music, she liked taking pictures. A pretty face looked at her in the mirror , and Natasha often imagined in her dreams how she would shine on the stage. In a word, Yunnikova dreamed of an actress career.
When she was seventeen, Natalia arrived with her mother in Moscow. It is difficult to say that it played a big role - simple luck or a provincial character, however, as many as three theater universities were ready to accept a potential student: GITIS, Boris Schukin Theater Institute and the Shchepkin Higher Theater School. Yunnikova chose Sliver. She was enrolled in the course of Vladimir Safronov - People's Artist of Russia.
Among the classmates of Natalia Yunnikova there were only eight girls, and all Muscovites. Natasha alone came from the provinces and lived in a hostel, although this fact did not bother her at all.
What I do not want to remember
There is an unhealed wound in Natalia’s heart that she hasn’t told anyone for a long time. Too heavy. However, the moment came when the woman understood - she can no longer be silent. She wanted to share her pain with someone.
What secret did the actress decide to reveal to the world? In her first year at the institute, Natasha was bullied and physically abused by a fourth-year student at her school. After the incident, the villain threatened the girl, saying that if she tells someone about what had happened, he would take revenge - he would mutilate her face.
Natalia was scared. She hid and was silent. It was silent for many years, which now naturally regrets. But the time has come to share our story. Natalya warns the girls who are faced with a similar situation from mistakes. “You must not be ashamed, you cannot hide. You must immediately apply to law enforcement agencies. Evil must be punished ... ”Although Natalya Yunnikova is not going to revenge her offender. The woman is sure that life itself will punish the criminal, and everything will fall into place. She did not seek him all these years, was not interested in his fate. She only knows that the offender works as a director.
Family life
Natalia tried to forget everything that happened as soon as possible, as if nothing had happened. The girl switched to study and left headlong into the creative process. And soon love settled in her heart - passionate and real. Yunnikova admits that she is a nature addicted and cannot love a little bit. If a feeling comes to her, she is ready to give everything for the sake of a loved one. The girl’s chosen one was her classmate - Anton Fedotov.
In the yard was 2001. The guys graduated and got married. The time was hard, money was sorely lacking for anything. The couple played a modest wedding, and then decided to immigrate to Israel. The fact is that Anton’s parents lived in Tel Aviv, so the guys didn’t leave "nowhere."
However, in a foreign land, no one was waiting for them either. I had to prove to myself and my life that you were worth something. The family got a job on local television - Natalya Yunnikova, whose photo was already recognizable by Israeli citizens, had an entertaining program, Anton found himself in a dub. Soon the couple had their firstborn - son Roland. Yunnikova’s birth, however, was difficult - not without surgical intervention. But Natalya did not have to lie down in bed for a long time - she had to earn money, and soon the woman went to work.
Escape from Tel Aviv
With the birth of a son in a family of actors, complete discord began. At some point, the woman realized - this is the beginning of the end of their family happiness. Accumulations and complaints against each other accumulated, material problems layered. In 2006, hostilities began between the Israeli side and the Hezbollah terrorist group, concentrated in southern Lebanon.
Excited about the safety of her family, Natalia Yunnikova left Israel with her little son. The woman returned to Russia. Her husband, Anton Fedotov, was due to arrive later - the family had debt obligations to Israeli banks. The man had the intention to pay off his debts and join his family later, but returned to Russia, not having solved all his material problems. Now the road to Israel, Natalia was closed - her appearance in the territory of another state could lead to imprisonment.
One more problem was added to this list - Natalia began to notice that money was missing from the house. Some time later it became clear: Anton suffers from gambling. This was the last straw, and in 2008 the couple officially terminated their relationship.
Filmography
In Moscow, I had to start all over again. There was nowhere to live, there was no money. Salvation for Natalia was her proposal to shoot in the television series "Web" - a criminal detective story, where the actress played Katya Tumanova. The work provided the woman with some material stability.
Natalia Yunnikova, whose photos appeared in acting agencies, from time to time began to receive small roles. The woman played in the TV series “Tatyana’s Day”, in the serial films “Yermolovs” and “City Lights”. However, audience recognition came to Yunnikova after the role of investigator Vasilisa Mikhailova in the TV series “The Return of Mukhtar”.
The work in the television series was interesting. Yunnikova recalls how new performers of the role of Mukhtar appeared on the site over and over again. The film was shot for five years, and, of course, the “actors” had to be changed periodically. The woman had to find a common language with the new "colleague" in the staff. But, according to the actress, problems never arose, and she easily contacted the dogs - stroked, talked with them. However, dog handlers have never allowed feeding shepherd dogs.
Paradoxically, Yunnikova does not consider the image of investigator Mikhailova to be significant in her creative biography. The actress says that because of this role, she is now not invited to act in other roles, and the woman dreams of a dramatic role. Natalya says that she’s not afraid to appear in front of the viewer ugly, possibly even in an ugly way, and sincerely believes that her swan song is yet to come.
Natalya Yunnikova: personal life
Today, the main man in the life of Natalia is her son Roland. The boy grows inquisitive and very developed, he studies in elementary grades, is engaged in a music school.
To her ex-husband, a woman no longer experiences those crazy feelings that were at the beginning of the relationship. Everything burned out. The man has a different family, a child. By the way, Fedotov did not particularly help his first son, but now relations have more or less improved, and Roland talks with dad.
In the life of the actress, fleeting novels happen, but they still do not lead to anything serious. Natalia is sure that a worthy person will surely appear on her way, and the woman’s dream will come true - the actress wants to give birth to another child. Today, Yunnikova lives with her mother and son in a rented apartment in Moscow. Of course, in her life there are some financial difficulties, but Natalya does not despair - she is a fighter. Moreover, her stronghold is true friends.
Oddly enough, after filming in the TV series “The Return of Mukhtar,” the entire team of actors who performed the roles of operatives and medical experts maintains friendly relations in real life. Children often meet, go to have a rest on the nature. Among them is Alexander Volkov, who was among the first to leave the television series.
Incidentally, on the network you can occasionally come across fictional information that the wedding of Natalia Yunnikova and Pavel Vishnyakov took place in Moscow . All this has no confirmation. Natasha’s heart does not belong to anyone yet.
