It should be noted that the husband did not want Anastasia Melnikova to devote much time to filming in the cinema, and preferred that the actress was engaged exclusively in household chores.
“Everything happens according to the standard scenario of life: first, women are loved for who they are, and after the official marriage, a man begins to dictate his conditions. One of them was as follows: “Either I, or work”, ”said actress Anastasia Melnikova. The husband did everything possible so that she was not offered roles. And in the end, she reconciled. Anastasia avoided family quarrels in every possible way, because she, according to her own words, has a conservative understanding of what the “cell of society” is. She believed that it was necessary to sacrifice everything for the family. She began to pay more attention to households, and sat down for a dissertation on the topic of American musicals. So three years passed, and she suddenly realized that their marriage would sooner or later break up, so she invited Telnov to leave.
Success in the acting field
After the divorce, Nastya decided to reach heights in the career of a film actress. Work in the series "Cops", where she brilliantly played the investigator Abdulova, made her a celebrity.
