The childhood of Angelika Kashirina
Angelika Aslanyan (this is the real name of the actress) was born into an intelligent family of doctors from the city of Salavat (Republic of Bashkortostan).
The girl's father was a practicing surgeon, and her mother worked in cardiology. Later, another daughter was born in the family - Christina, who also chose an acting career. As a child, Lika, as the girl’s friends and parents called her, was always cheerful, active and mischievous. Already at the age of 6, she demonstrated her acting skills for the first time, parodying Michael Jackson's performance at her friend's party. As the actress herself said, the guests were delighted: “...everyone around me laughed! At that moment I decided: if people laugh, it means they like it; if they like it, then others will like it too. Then I decided not to hide my artistic talents from now on.”

Therefore, during her school years, Angelica participated in all possible competitions and holiday productions, and actively developed her acting skills in a theater studio and a choreographic club. Even then, she firmly decided to become an actress and considered that her mother’s maiden name, Kashirina, would be more suitable for a creative profession.
After graduating from school, Anzhelika Kashirina went to Moscow and without any difficulties entered the music and theater department of GITIS. Over the years of study, she established herself as a capable, bright actress and upon completion of her studies she received a diploma with honors, testifying to her true professionalism.
The actress successfully made her debut at the GITIS educational theater with a role in the musical “Promises, Promises.” Subsequently, the productions “Lucky Smith” and “Groom from the Other World” were added to the list of her theatrical works, together with Nelly Uvarova and Timur Rodriguez.
What does Angelika Kashirina dream about?
STS has started filming a new comedy series under the working title “The Girl of Your Dreams.” The main role is played by the star of the sketch comedy “Give You Youth!” Angelica Kashirina, whom viewers will see this time in two images at once - a miniature brunette and an oversized fatty.
The main character is also called Angelica. This is a kind, smart, sweet, sympathetic girl, a journalism student - in general, almost ideal. But she has one serious drawback: she is a very heavy person!.. In the literal sense of the word... Lika’s weight reaches 99.9 kilograms, and she is simply obsessed with the dream of losing weight, because she, like any girl, wants to be friends with classmates and look good , dress fashionably, appeal to boys... after all, freely pass through the turnstile on the bus. And then one day Lika’s dream comes true - of course, not without the help of magic. In the morning, slender, attractive, completely new Lika miraculously wakes up in bed! True, this won’t last long... Just as unexpectedly as they disappeared, plump cheeks, a double chin and extra pounds return to their usual places. And the next day history repeats itself. Either chubby or skinny! Unpredictable transformations will play a cruel joke on the main character...
— We have such a somewhat fairy-tale plot,
— says project director Radda Novikova, known to STS viewers from the TV series “Two Fathers and Two Sons” — “
The main character’s excess weight really bothers her!”
She’s embarrassed by this, doesn’t believe in herself, is afraid of a lot, she doesn’t have a boyfriend... But I’m betting on her inner beauty! Our Lika is very charming and emotional, she is alive and real! This character will evoke the most diverse emotions. They will laugh at her, they will sympathize with her, and in the end, I am sure, everyone will definitely love her! As for the actress herself, she will have to act for several months in a row in a fake fat suit and in complex plastic makeup, which takes up 90 percent of her face.” - Hot!
— smiling, the actress herself commented on her first impressions of filming in the most complex makeup, which, together with the costume, took about 3 hours. “
Now I’m still in the process of getting used to it.”
But I think that every time I wear this look I will feel more and more comfortable! My heroine is energetic and cheerful, and, despite all the hardships of life, a very positive and bright person. And mind you, even thin girls have complexes, let alone my heroine. From an acting point of view, this is a very interesting and unusual job - when will I ever be such a charming fatty! The main character’s closest friends will be played by Ksenia Teplova (Anzhelika Kashirina’s colleague in “Give You Youth!”) and Maria Baeva, the role of Lika’s mother will be played by Lyubov Tolkalina, and MTV VJ Igor Lantratov will appear in a new role. The series also stars Aristarkh Venes, Alexander Anatolyevich, Marina Gaizidorskaya, Sergei Komarov and other actors.
The traditional plate for the first day of filming is broken! Its fragments were dismantled as talismans by all participants in the creative and filming process. “For the success of our crazy enterprise! May the great clown be with us!”
— director Radda Novikova advised.
Motor! Go!

Acting career of Angelica Kashirina
Anzhelika Kashirina began acting in films while still a student.
So, in 2007, she took part in the filming of the action adventure film “Apocalypse Code”, acting as an understudy for the key actress, Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, in one of the scenes. According to the actress, domestic cinema and television are very prone to stereotypical roles, and therefore the black-haired beauty was always offered the roles of Jews and gypsies. She appeared in episodes of many popular TV series (“Barvikha”, “My Fair Nanny”, “Stepmother”), until fate gave her a truly magical chance. In 2009, the girl was cast in the comedy sketch show “Give Youth!” and became one of the regular participants in the complex but incredibly exciting filming process.

The simple plot captivated the audience with sincerity and, to some extent, vitality: Angelica, a journalism student, had been plump all her life, but one day she magically lost 50 kilograms in one night. But in an equally mysterious way, excess weight either returns or disappears at the most inopportune moment, provoking many comical situations. The actress had to transform into a plump woman with the help of a special costume and complex, many-hours-long plastic makeup. “Angelica”: the transformation of Angelica Kashirina into a fat woman Next, the actress was invited to one of the minor roles (Sveta) in the series “Mommies”, which tells in a humorous way about the joys of motherhood.

“Angelica”, season 2: on the set of episode 4, Angelica Kashirina suffered with a fatty costume
“Angelica”, season 2: episode 4 01/28/2015 can be watched online for free on the STS website, as well as on the Piter.TV channel. In the new episodes, the creators tried to make the plot even more twisted. The first season significantly raised the bar for audience expectations, so the director and his group, of course, did not want to fall flat on their face. The main character continues to be tormented by the same questions and problems, but now she is trying to solve them in a different way.

Actress Anzhelika Kashirina became known to Russians after starring in the popular sketch show “Give Youth.” The comedy project gave her not only fame, but also the opportunity to continue her professional development. The fact is that the director of “Give Youth” decided to create another interesting product for the STS TV channel, and when the idea came to him, he immediately clearly saw Angelica as the main character. Actually, the project was then created specifically for the actress.
The film turned out exactly in the style of STS and gained popularity among young people. The heroes study at the university, where they encounter problems that are standard for students and people their age. At the same time, the series has several storylines, although the main one, of course, is the life of Lika, who has a hereditary pathology. The girl, for reasons unknown to her, either gains weight or loses weight again. This happens all at once, and she never knows where trouble will find her this time.
In real life, Anzhelika Kashirina is a petite beauty, so to make her plump, we had to create a special silicone suit. You can imagine how difficult it is to film with such a load on you. In addition, the suit is very hot. So, while working on set, the actress probably loses a few more kilograms, despite the fact that she is already very thin.
But art requires sacrifice, and the actress does not complain, because no difficulties can interrupt the emotions from viewing the final result of her work.
