Childhood
Svetlana Khodchenkova was born in Moscow on January 21, 1983.
The future actress spent her childhood in the village of Zheleznodorozhny near Moscow. The mother raised the baby alone - the father did not make any attempts to get to know his daughter until she came of age. The family was sorely short of money; From the age of twelve, Svetlana helped her mother, who worked as a painter, janitor and cleaner, wash stairs for a tiny fee. In high school, the girl studied at a lyceum, where her classmates were children from wealthy families. Every day, self-doubt grew in Svetlana’s soul, and in order to overcome it, Khodchenkova filled out an application form for Slava Zaitsev’s modeling school.

The tall, slender blonde was gladly accepted into the course, and upon completion, she was invited to a successful modeling agency. The 16-year-old girl spent her first salary - a thousand dollars received after six months of filming in Japan - on installing a home telephone; as the actress recalled, her mother was infinitely happy and almost kissed the buttons of the device. However, very soon the young model began to receive unambiguous offers, and Svetlana left the modeling business, completely disappointed in its underside.

As a child, Svetlana dreamed of a career as a surgeon, but closer to her final exams she realized that medical work was not so sweet to her: biology and chemistry were not easy for her, and the sight of blood made her feel completely ill. So, after receiving her certificate in 2000, Khodchenkova entered the Institute of World Economy - that’s what her mother wanted. However, the girl did not even make it to the first session. Economics seemed extremely boring to her, and Svetlana transferred to the Faculty of Advertising, where, in her opinion, there should have been a lot of room for creativity, but even here only dry numbers awaited her.

The decision to become an actress came to Svetlana quite unexpectedly - the girl simply decided to try herself in this path. A couple of years ago, while filling out a form for a modeling agency, in the “Place of study” column, she wrote “Shchukin Theater School” - just like that. And it was the legendary “Pike” that she chose.
Khodchenkova came to Shchuka on a whim
Before the exams, Sveta attended courses at the school for two months and eventually entered, and of the entire preparatory group, only Khodchenkova passed the competition.
Successful debut
Already in her first year, Svetlana Khodchenkova was noticed by the famous director Stanislav Govorukhin, who invited her to audition for the film “Bless the Woman.” The aspiring actress was offered to play the main character of the film - a girl named Vera, who is in love with the hero Alexander Baluev. The casting was successful - Govorukhin could not help but approve a beauty with a traditional Slavic appearance for the role.
Film debut of 19-year-old Svetlana Khodchenkova
It was difficult for Svetlana on the set: the age range of her heroine varied from 18 to 45 years. Make-up took at least an hour every day, and Svetlana had to “grow” from a carefree girl to a woman wise with life experience. In addition, the actress had to star in a “nude” scene - the moment when Svetlana’s heroine comes out of the sea. At first it was planned that the actress would swim in a swimsuit, but at the last moment Stanislav Govorukhin made adjustments to the episode. Svetlana did not argue with her patron, but in the future she immediately rejected such proposals. Svetlana Khodchenkova in the film “Bless the Woman”, bathing scene

Svetlana Khodchenkova, after her divorce from actor Vladimir Yaglych, dated businessman Georgy Petrishin for several years. In May 2015, the entrepreneur proposed to the actress on the theater stage. Svetlana agreed to marry George, but two years later she broke off the engagement.
At the beginning of 2020, the actress was again spotted together with Petrishin. In the spring, the media wrote about their imminent wedding, but the celebration has not yet taken place.
Svetlana Khodchenkova makes a lot of efforts to maintain a slim, fit figure. The artist trains up to three hours a day and follows a balanced diet. Svetlana excluded high-calorie foods from her diet - potatoes, sweets, pasta, pastries, and also switched to fractional meals 5 times a day.

Career blossoming
Fate worked out in such a way that Svetlana became a rising star of Russian cinema while still studying at Shchuka.
It’s clear that the teachers, with a clear conscience, gave the girl “machine guns,” but her classmates whispered sarcastically behind her back, which greatly upset Sveta. So when Khodchenkova finally received her diploma in 2005, she breathed a sigh of relief and got to work hard, especially since she received more than enough offers. In 2005, Svetlana Khodchenkova took part in several projects. First, there was the role of an Old Believer girl in “Picture Hunters,” then participation in the 12-episode project “Realtor” directed by Alexander Khvan, the film “Not by Bread Alone” by Stanislav Govorukhin and the series “Talisman of Love” with Tatyana Arntgolts and Lyubov Tolkalina.

Those close to Svetlana Khodchenkova had mixed reactions to the work in “Talisman of Love”. Some thought that the girl did not need to waste money on soap, while others believed that this act would help Sveta become financially independent. Govorukhin was the most upset about Svetlana’s participation in the series, once even declaring: “Svetka is a good girl, but she has no brains...”. True, he later added: “It all went into talent.” Nevertheless, the role of the medium Cassandra was well remembered by the audience.

In 2006, an accident happened to Svetlana - during a training session for the “Dancing on Ice” project, she slipped and hit her head. The actress woke up already in a hospital bed, in complete bewilderment - she had completely forgotten everything connected with her performance on ice. Doctors diagnosed a concussion and promised that his memory would return soon. And so it happened, but Khodchenkova had to forget about participating in the project.
Svetlana still had to learn to skate
Svetlana Khodchenkova’s next major project was Pavel Sanaev’s film “Kilometer Zero,” where her filming partners were Konstantin Kryukov and Alexander Lymarev. The work on the film was not without incidents, for example, in one of the scenes the actress had to appear naked. Mindful of the jealous nature of her husband (Vladimir Yaglych), she set a condition for the director: only her back should appear in the frame, otherwise she would refuse the role. Reluctantly, Sanaev agreed. Before filming the scene, Khodchenkova asked the make-up artist to cover her chest with a plaster - just in case. And at the premiere of the film, Svetlana, her husband and the entire audience saw her breasts covered with a snow-white piece of fabric.

In 2009, the film “Love in the City” was released, where the name of Svetlana Khodchenkova appeared in the credits next to Vera Brezhneva and Nastya Zadorozhnaya. The comedy film differed from Sveta’s usual genre of “new Russian melodrama,” but most viewers noted that Khodchenkova’s performance “looked very advantageous against the backdrop of the singers’ acting efforts.”

However, the actress soon returned to her favorite role in Roman Prosvirnin’s melodrama “When We Were Happy,” where Svetlana formed a harmonious creative union with Alexei Zubkov. Svetlana Khodchenkova visiting Ivan Urgant The remake of “Office Romance” released in 2011, which brought together the best of Russian comedy cinema in the cast, could not do without Svetlana - she was cast in the role of the modern version of the heroine Alisa Freundlich. Ukrainian actor Vladimir Zelensky played the klutz Novoseltsev, Marat Basharov played Samokhvalov, Pavel Volya unexpectedly took the place of Liya Akhedzhakova, and the supporting performers were impressive: Ivan Okhlobystin, Nastya Zavorotnyuk, Alika Smekhova.
Svetlana Khodchenkova did not become a canonical “mymra”
But - alas, despite the big names, the remake of the Soviet classic was met very coldly. Svetlana did not manage to turn into the “callous mymra” Kalugin; her image was more reminiscent of modern business sharks in skirts, tenacious, tough, not without bitchiness and sexuality.

In the same year, foreign producers drew attention to Svetlana. Together with Konstantin Khabensky, she went to the British Isles, where they were preparing for the filming of the thriller “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy!” Khodchenkova in the image of intelligence officer Irina played superbly with legendary Hollywood actors - Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy. Konstantin played the role of the Soviet diplomat Polyakov.

The spy picture was followed by two good domestic comedies: “Five Brides” by Karen Oganesyan and dedicated to International Women’s Day “Moms”, where Svetlana played with Dmitry Dyuzhev and Liya Akhedzhakova.

In 2012, Svetlana’s “record” included the first disaster film – “Metro” with Sergei Puskepalis. Khodchenkova had to play a woman who finds out that her entire family is trapped in a flooded metro tunnel.

In 2013, Svetlana flew to Japan for the second time in her life, this time to film the Hollywood blockbuster “Wolverine: The Immortal.” All the people involved in the film, except Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen and Hugh Jackman, were Japanese. Thanks to her youthful experience, Svetlana easily overcame the language barrier and gave it her all.

In 2020, Stanislav Govorukhin contacted the actress again and invited her to a new project - a film adaptation of Dovlatov’s stories “The End of a Beautiful Era” about the adventures of journalist Lentulov in Soviet Estonia. According to the script, the hero of Ivan Kolesnikov, headlong, gives himself over to an affair with the editor Marina, Khodchenkova’s character. The film, according to critics, was “intelligent and for intellectuals,” and many viewers recognized it as almost Govorukhin’s best work.

By 2020, Svetlana Khodchenkova had become one of the most sought-after domestic actresses. As many as 10 premieres with her participation were planned for this year. Among them are the comedy “Classmates” by Dmitry Suvorov, the historical drama “Viking” with the participation of Danila Kozlovsky and Maxim Sukhanov, as well as the parable film “Shadow” with Mikhail Porechenkov.

And the beginning of 2020 gave fans of Svetlana Khodchenkova a new series with her participation - “You All Infuriate Me.” This time the actress brought to life the image of the refined journalist Sonya Bagryantseva, who suffers from social phobia. But as soon as she drinks even a drop of alcohol, she turns into a diametrically opposite person. Together with the actress, the star of the “Exhibit” video, Yulia Topolnitskaya, Pyotr Fedorov, Alexander Pal and Alexander Petrov, were involved in the series.

Personal life of Svetlana Khodchenkova
The actress met her husband Vladimir Yaglych at the Shchukin School. A young man, studying a year older, quickly made acquaintance with a pretty freshman, but romance was out of the question - the charming student was always in the company of some beauty from among his classmates, and Sveta could not think about anything besides studying, rehearsing for days.

The young people met again on the set of the series “My Prechistenka”, and a couple of months later - on the set of the series “Carousel”. Despite the fact that the characters of Khodchenkova and Yaglych were married in the plot, in real life they remained exclusively colleagues. Although, as Svetlana later admitted, Vladimir made an attempt to charm the girl while working on Carousel, but she simply did not understand his hints.
On the day of the premiere of Carousel, he called Svetlana and offered to celebrate in a restaurant. The quiet dinner was essentially their first real date; Soon the actors began dating.

The marriage proposal sounded like a bolt from the blue: in one of the conversations Yaglych suddenly declared: “That’s it! We need to start a family. Let's get married." Svetlana was in a state of slight shock for ten minutes, then said: “I agree!”

Vladimir's parents received their daughter-in-law cordially; when we met, Yaglych’s mother told a funny story about how she first saw Svetlana in the film “Bless the Woman,” and at one of the final moments Vladimir came into the room with the phrase: “I’m dating this girl.” “But she’s old!” Mom was amazed, not immediately realizing that Sveta was wearing makeup.

The wedding of Khodchenkova and Yagylch took place in 2005. At first, the newlyweds' life was full of bright colors and sincere feelings, but Svetlana's growing popularity and Vladimir's jealous disposition became an obstacle to a long-term relationship - in April 2011 they officially broke off the relationship.

Soon a new contender for the actress’s hand and heart was found - young businessman Georgy Petrishin. They dated for four years, and there were no signs of trouble, so the man decided to propose to his beloved beautifully. The curtain after the play “Love Story” with the participation of Khodchenkova had not yet had time to fall, and he had already burst onto the stage and dropped to one knee in front of Svetlana. The stunned and touched actress answered “Yes!” to thunderous applause from the audience. But at the beginning of 2020, shortly before the wedding, they quarreled to smithereens, and the ceremony was never destined to take place.

In the fall of 2020, information appeared in the media that doctor Kirill Masliev had won the actress’s heart. But they were not destined to celebrate even the anniversary of their relationship. Already in March 2020, she began to be credited with an affair with a certain oligarch, whose name and appearance Svetlana traditionally decided not to advertise. However, she left fans a small hint that her heart was occupied again: a black and white photo on Instagram - the actress buried her face in a man’s shoulder.

At the beginning of 2020, Svetlana spent a vacation in Bali with Georgy Petrishin, after which they went skiing together in Switzerland. The actress also celebrated her 35th birthday in the company of a businessman. Apparently, the old feelings did not have time to cool down, and the lovers gave their relationship another chance.
