About isolation
“I have already developed some kind of my own system - I meditate every day, try to do yoga, watch films, fill in some gaps in the classics of world cinema, read. In general, I have the whole next week already planned out - broadcasts and even some work. So I'm already used to this regime. There is even a feeling that we will have to learn for a long time to live not under lock and key, but I really hope that we will come out of quarantine with at least the ability to appreciate what we have. I don’t know how long we’ll last, but I’d really like to remember this moment.”
About dreams
“You know, I would like everyone to live from the heart. This, of course, is a utopia, but I address this primarily to myself - so that the heart is more involved, and not the mind. Everything is about this now. I went out to the store and caught myself with such an aching feeling of love towards all people. We couldn’t get close to each other, and it was as if I saw everyone’s vulnerability. We are all one, and separation is an illusion that always trips us up. When we understand this, there will be no need to live in constant aggression and readiness to defend ourselves.”

About stage makeup and favorite beauty spots
Make-up and its intensity depend on the role. In the movie "Night Watchmen" it took about four hours to create. The make-up artist spends about two on ordinary “everyday” stories. Of course, such a thick layer of makeup cannot but affect the condition of the skin - I try not to miss visits to the cosmetologist. Favorite beauty spot: Aesthetica. At home I thoroughly cleanse my face. I love micellar water - it easily removes even thick skin tone.
About once a year I undergo detailed tests - in my rhythm it is important to know everything about my health.
About the series "Kept Women"
“In the first season we worked with Konstantin Bogomolov, then with Dasha Zhuk. They are very different, but this is the first project for me that is entirely based on atmosphere, here it has absolute primacy. This is also a team story, but in a different sense - there is a certain unity in the differences that runs through the entire story. You set up some kind of internal barometer and intuitively begin to understand your personal contribution. Usually this is the work of the director, but in “Kept Women” it is also the work of the artist. It’s a very fine line that I felt.”
Sabina Akhmedova now
Now the actress is at the peak of her professional form. Every year, Sabina’s filmography is replenished with 5-6 new works, and the girl chooses difficult roles each time.

About acting
“Studying in Los Angeles brought me here. This would have happened in any case, but without this environment the search process would have been delayed. At acting school they help you understand yourself, find out what kind of animal you are, how you function, where your pain points are, how your instrument generally works, but most importantly, they help you realize what kind of person you are. When at the age of 16 you enter and study in a state of competition and some kind of race, you risk ruining yourself as a creative unit. Because during this time you don’t have time to understand what you are made of. But it seems to me that even before you go into the profession, you need to understand who you are, what interests you, what touches you, what makes you feel pricks on your fingertips - in order to then touch other people through this. Talent does not exclude pressures and fears, and the primary task for artists is to get rid of all this by understanding what lies behind it.”
Biography of the singer
Aspiring star Sabina Akhmedova was born in Rostov-on-Don into an ordinary family. The girl does not allow journalists into her life, so all that is known is that her mother sells real estate. And her father is not mentioned in any of the singer’s interviews. According to the latest information, Sabina refuses to communicate with him for an unknown reason. She decided to connect her life with music at the age of 12. The family did not take this activity seriously, but did not interfere with the aspiration. Now the girl is recording songs and making videos with all her might, each of her tracks becomes a hit.
Childhood and youth
Since childhood, Sabina was surrounded by care and love, which had a beneficial effect on the development of musical talents. She studied at a regular school, participated in all events and performances. Seeing their daughter’s interest in music, her parents enrolled her in a music school and encouraged her aspirations in every way. As a child, young Sabina was a big fan of rock singer Avril Lavigne. But after some time, her tastes changed greatly and another love appeared in her life - rap.
The path to popularity
Studying at a music school was the beginning: at the age of 12, the girl realized that she wanted to perform on stage and sing. Sabina mastered several areas of the Yaroslavl Music School: drumming, acting and vocals. Then she entered the Rostov College of Arts, in the correspondence department of the pop and jazz department. While diligently studying all the intricacies of vocal singing, the girl did not forget about her passion for rap. She began reading songs by famous performers, copying their style, and then writing lyrics herself.
First success
In 2020, Sabina met the famous musician and songwriter of the Black Star label Georgy Petrosyan (aka Jahkarta). Arriving for a simple audition, the girl interested him, and they began to collaborate. Thus began her career in the capital. The debut, which brought wild success to the young singer, was the song “Spank”, and the phrase “I will spank you for a bad rap” became popular among the people. The provocative clip has collected millions of views on YouTube. The song can easily be called a daring appeal to modern rap artists.
Present and creative plans for the future
The girl's popularity is growing exponentially. Each of her songs collects millions of views and is included in the TOP 30 of the VK chart. Sabi recorded a video dedicated to the World Cup with the famous Tomer Savoia.
An ambitious and purposeful performer sets specific goals for herself: to release an album, develop a musical career and enroll in the producing department.
In one of the interviews, Sabina admitted that she still has little experience and needs to learn. She is ready to further improve her vocal abilities, but participating in rap battles is taboo for her.
This is an activity for boys. In 2020, Sabi ended her business relationship with Jakarta due to creative differences and left the label. The girl also plans to leave hard, obscene rap in the past. Reggaeton singles will appear.
About life in America
“Living and studying there was both difficult and easy. I wasn’t afraid to go—my family and friends were more worried, as if I was going to the North Pole without any way to get in touch. But Los Angeles is a very comfortable place to live; it’s a city for people. Sometimes it was difficult to understand the mentality - the people there are completely different. But as soon as you integrate into the culture, you begin to understand humor, some of the subtleties of their behavior and motives, then everything becomes easy. Of course, there are some things that are not close to me - superficiality, for example. But it has more to do with the city - New York, let's say, is completely different. And Los Angeles is such an unbearable lightness of existence that periodically overtakes you. It is impossible to constantly live in this state if you are a thinking and reflective person.”
About change
“In Los Angeles, I stopped eating meat. And I have never felt better. I’m horrified to think that some doctor will say that I don’t have enough iron and need to add meat back to my diet. This suits me psychophysics - my head is clearer, and my weight is easier to control. I can even afford sweets because my metabolism speeds up. During quarantine I gained a little, but I know that I can easily lose it if necessary. For example, for “Call Center” I deliberately lost so much weight, almost to a dystrophic state, that my ribs were visible. There is even a behind-the-scenes video: towards the end of filming, when all my nude scenes had already been filmed, I attacked the cheese sandwiches. By the way, I definitely won’t be able to give up cheese forever.”
About nutrition and training
I haven’t eaten meat for about seven years, preferring fish and seafood. This is too heavy food for me. After I gave it up, I lost weight and began to feel much better. The quality of the leather has also changed.
I ate and still eat dairy products. I can't resist a cup of latte. Although I plan to reduce the presence of milk in my diet. This power system suited me. But it’s not a fact that it will suit you too - we are all different. You need to listen to your body.
My favorite physical activity is Pilates. I try to go to the studio three times a week. It doesn’t always work out due to a busy schedule. When I’m really pressed for time, I swim. You can go to the pool even at night.
About female friendship
“I believe in female friendship, and I have always been lucky to have friends. I don't have any stereotypes about this. Women, my friends, always supported me - and they came to the rescue before anyone else. There is no competition between us. In general, healthy competition is a necessary thing, but you cannot always exist in this state. It is very sad and tragic if you are constantly in a feeling of comparison. For a creative person this is like death. If you turn around all the time, this is the definition of self-doubt, a rejection of the individuality that you are. And you can’t do anything if you’re constantly looking around.”
Homecoming
After some time, the actress had to return to her homeland. This difficult decision for Sabina was made in connection with the filming of the serial film “The Club”. In this series, Sabina Akhmedova played one of the main roles - a heroine named Tamara. To take part in the film, the actress was forced to be torn between two countries, where filming took place almost simultaneously. For example, in America, Akhmedova played a role in the stage play “The Seagull”, and some time later appeared in the production “At the Depths”.
About haters
“I only respond to constructive comments from those I respect, who themselves are doing something important and worthy. Even the assessments of famous people who are not interesting to me do not touch me. Why appeal to the opinion of some person who in itself is not valuable to me. Especially if this is senseless hate on social networks from those I don’t know. Authors of comments like “Rot in hell, you mediocre creature!” I block instantly. This is very tragic for society when there are so many people who are not satisfied with their lives and themselves, who want to attract attention to themselves in this way. If you go to the profile of any hater, you will not see a happy, beautiful person. I am a sensitive person, reflective, receptive and quick-tempered. I have enough common sense to restrain myself, but there are some things that are like a lighter to me. I react with lightning speed to rudeness and rudeness - it would seem that this is just not worth doing. Or if I see people yelling at children in a store, my temperature just immediately rises. I don’t tolerate rudeness and rudeness, especially towards those who cannot answer you.”
Present and creative plans
In 2020, the girl gained sensational fame from her role in the TV series “Kept Women.” The audience especially remembered the songs that Sabina performed on her own. The audience appreciated the efforts of the actress. Akhmedova admitted that she is part of a group of like-minded musicians and sometimes they perform. The beauty has no plans to record her own album.

In the same year, the release of the fantastic film “Star Mind”, the American “Titus”, and the Russian thriller “Love Spell” are expected to be released. Black wedding." The girl continues to work on her own career, wants to be in demand and famous for as long as possible. She also fully supports charity, considering it a part of acting. According to her, every actor gives the viewer a part of his soul for free.
Still from the thriller “Love Spell.” Black wedding"
Films and books during self-isolation: the choice of Sabina Akhmedova
- "A Woman Under the Influence" by John Cassavetes. It's strange that I have never seen this film, although I am a big fan of American cinema of the 70s. There is something very real about it that is not typical of modern paintings. “Dog Day Afternoon”, “Kramer vs. Kramer” - these are all almost documentaries that give the feeling of peeping through a keyhole.
- "Unorthodox." A stunning Netflix series about the destructive power of bigotry.
- "Ozark" series.
- "Mindhunter" TV series.
- "House arrest". This series is my great love.
- "Platform", series. It’s still in the plans, I know it’s very tough, but I’ll definitely watch it.
- “The Buried Giant,” an amazing and very subtle book by Kazuo Ishiguro, is a novel about the properties of time and memory.
- "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Dorr. I read this book three years ago and it simply amazed me. So far, nothing has been able to interrupt the impression from her.
- “When Nietzsche Wept” by Irvin Yalom also had a very strong impact on me.
Movie
As for films, she filmed both overseas and in Russia. One of the first films in which fans can remember her was the film “Saboteur. End of the war." The actress recalls her experiences with trepidation and considers the role of an oriental beauty one of her favorites.
