Surely many have heard the saying: “Nature rests on the children of celebrities.” However, this is not always the case in life. We all often see on screen or read in the press about talented children of famous parents. These are, for example, Kristina Orbakaite, Nikita Presnyakov, Stas Piekha, Anna Shulgina and many others. Moreover, many of them succeeded in a field completely different from their “parental” one.

Star biography: Anna Shulgina
In June 1993, in Moscow, 25-year-old singer Valeria (Alla Yuryevna Perfilova) and her husband, producer and composer Alexander Shulgin, gave birth to a daughter, who was named Anna. She was their first-born, and the young parents could not be happier with their baby. A year later, the couple had a son. The girl grew up very musical and studied the piano from an early age. Constant tours, concerts, and television programs did not allow Valeria to devote much time to her children, so it was decided to send very little Anya to a school for noble maidens in Switzerland. Here Anna Shulgina learned to behave correctly in secular society, studied languages and many useful subjects, and visited her parents in Moscow during the holidays. The older the girl became, the more she noticed that a rather complicated relationship was developing between her parents, and several times she even witnessed loud scandals that ended in beatings. And one day they: Anya, her younger brothers and Valeria - were forced to flee from the capital to the outback, fleeing the cruelty of the father of the family. And then their mother met a wonderful man, also a producer, Joseph Prigozhin, and after they got married, the family again lived a decent life in Moscow.

Weight loss
Anna Shulgina divides her life into before and after losing weight. It changed too much. The “before” weight sometimes reached 90 kg, which is why her standard of living dropped significantly. It was difficult for Anna to walk for a long time, shortness of breath appeared, and all this despite the fact that she was a very attractive girl. But she couldn’t start a serious relationship because of her complexes. In addition, problems began in her career: a plump girl is not as in demand in films as a slender one. And one fine day Anna decided that enough was enough and she would achieve an ideal figure. Judging by the current photos, it worked out 100%; Valeria’s daughter lost at least 30 kg.

But Anna herself declares that she lost weight with the help of the following secrets:
- She took advantage of the help of professional nutritionists, who prescribed her a personalized diet that took into account all the characteristics of her body and lifestyle.
- She increased her activity several times. I started doing fitness and walking whenever possible.
- I visited the sauna at least once a week.
- I installed a multifunctional Power Plate exercise machine/massager at home.
- She used various procedures that helped her get rid of toxins formed during the process of burning fat.
- At the same time, I took massage and scrubbing courses so that the results would come faster and the skin would remain in perfect condition.
What result she achieved with these simple means, everyone could see in her photo. Fans immediately said that in front of them was a completely different person. And Anna herself began to actively show off her new body on social media. networks, often these were contrasting collages depicting Anna Shulgina before and after losing weight.
Anna's youth
As a teenager, Anya was a difficult child. And today, having become quite old and conscious, she, looking back into the past, admits that she was a very difficult child, a real rebel. Anna constantly became a member of some youth group, a new subculture. Either she was delirious with the ideas of the Goths, dressed up in all black and did the appropriate makeup, then she joined the emo movement, etc. During this period, Anya’s mother and stepfather sent Anya to study in England. However, when she arrived for the holidays, it turned out that studying abroad did not give any positive results, and her parents decided that Anna would continue her studies in Moscow and would not return to England. After school, Anna Shulgina entered the Shchukin Theater Institute, from which she graduated in 2013 at the age of 20.
Personal life
It is immediately clear from Anna that this is Valeria’s daughter, since in appearance she strongly resembles her mother in her youth. And losing weight completely transformed her - she grew into a very beautiful girl. But, as Anna herself admits, their characters are completely different, and she is not such an angel as her mother. As a teenager, Anya was a completely reckless person: she experimented with her appearance, listened to aggressive music, and wore clothes with spikes. But at the same time, she has a vulnerable soul and many fears; Anna Shulgina does not fully trust people. The reason for this was partly the cruel treatment of her father towards her mother, which was remembered for the rest of her life.
Fans have always hovered around Anna Shulgina - both before and after losing weight, she was a girl in demand. But the girl found it awkward to go on dates and be alone with a man; being overweight really interfered with this. Anya did not accept her body and felt thin inside.
The main thing for her in a man is education and intelligence, and appearance plays the last role. Anna Shulgina can end her relationship with a guy if she realizes that there is nothing to talk about with him. And since she was educated at a Swiss school for noble maidens, her bar is quite high. There she learned several foreign languages and read Shakespeare in the original.
This nature determines the choice of men. The latest official young man is the rapper SLeM.
First creative steps
While studying at Shchuka, she took part in the play “A Day Without Shopping” on the stage of the Taganka Theater. This is how her creative biography began. Anna Shulgina caught the eye with her truthful acting. Her parents (mother and stepfather), who were present at the performance, proudly noted that their daughter undoubtedly has acting talent and that they are confident that Anyuta (as she is affectionately called at home) will be able to make an excellent career as a theater and film actress. At the same time, the paparazzi began to write in the press that Anna Shulgina, Valeria’s daughter, was very inferior in appearance to her mother, that she was similar in facial features and physique to her father, and that she was far from her star mother.

Others saw a striking resemblance between the daughter and mother. Anna doesn’t like both the first and second comments. She hates being compared to her mother. Anya is a very independent person and wants to make her career without any interference, without anyone’s help. After graduating from the institute and receiving a diploma as a professional theater and film actress, Anna Shulgina went to Kyiv, where she began acting in a youth comedy telenovela. Her parents supported her in this decision, and she went to Ukraine for some time.

Vocals
In 2014, like Valeria’s true daughter, she could not stand it and still began to sing. In total, Anya performed six songs:
- “You are mine” feat Valeria.
- “Give a chance to a dream” feat SLeM.
- "Knife".
- "The other me."
- “Hang out.”
- "Mother".
Her boyfriend, rapper SLeM, helped release the single “Nozhevaya.” And for their performance with their mother, they received the Muz-TV 2016 award in the Best Duet category. But despite this, her vocal abilities do not inspire admiration among listeners. There is an opinion that here nature has rested and it is better for Anna to return to acting.
TV presenter career
In general, 2013 was a very successful year for Anya Shulgina. Firstly, she graduated with honors from the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute, began acting in a comedy series on Ukrainian television, made her debut as a singer, and also passed the casting and became the host of a music show on the Rossiya channel - “Our Way Out”. Of course, before the first program the girl was very worried and even confused, but her partner-co-host Alexei Vorobyov helped her a lot with everything. So after filming, her mother, singer Valeria, who also took part in the program, was quite pleased with her daughter, and even praised her. By the way, a little later rumors appeared in the press that a stormy romance began between Valeria’s daughter and Lesha Vorobyov. The more curious decided to ask Anya herself about this. However, she disappointed them by saying that, despite the fact that Lesha is a wonderful guy, and they are very friendly with him, he is not her type, and there can be no talk of any romance.
