Brief biography of Masha Alalykina
The girl was born on April 27, 1983 in Moscow, into a family of ordinary workers. The mother and father worked hard to provide for the family, and the girl tried to please them with her successes in kindergarten, then with good grades at school. Masha was a diligent and attentive girl. She also always stood out among her peers for her desire for leadership. She loved to be the center of attention and was a very artistic child.
At school, Masha Alalykina managed to attend vocal, music and choreography clubs. This did not in any way prevent the active girl from having time to study her homework and get straight A’s. After graduating from school, the girl took part in a beauty contest, where she reached the finals. It was then that she became convinced that being on stage, in front of the eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators, was what she would strive for.
The whole truth about the life of Maria Alalykina after accepting Islam
Maria Alalykina
Back in 2002, Maria Alalykina in just a few months turned from an unknown girl into a youth idol. Masha went to the Star Factory casting with her sister, and eventually reached the finals of the music show. Then there were tours as part of the group “Factory” and the shooting of the video “About Love”. The singer's career was gaining momentum, but she suddenly decided to leave the stage and devote herself to her family. Maria got married, gave birth to a daughter, but divorced a couple of years later.
Since then, conflicting rumors have appeared about the personal life of the ex-“manufacturer”. Some claim that Alalykina lives in Moscow, others are sure that she moved to a small village in Dagestan. Sister Margarita decided to dispel the rumors. “In pursuit of sensations, people sometimes come up with incredible things. Yes, Masha really converted to Islam. This happened during my first marriage. Then she divorced her first husband and began to study a new religion. Nobody forced her to become a Muslim, it was a conscious decision,” a relative of the ex-vocalist told StarHit.
After divorcing her husband, Maria lived with her parents for some time, but then met a new love. Their relationship has lasted for 10 years and, according to her sister, Alalykina is happy next to her chosen one.
“She has a very good husband, loving and caring. They lived together in Moscow for several years, but certain problems arose here. That's why we decided to move to another region. Someone wrote that Masha was forcibly taken to the village, but this is not true. Their decision to move to one of the major cities of Russia was mutual,” Margarita emphasized.
Maria is sure that she made the right choice by giving up popularity
Alalykina herself has not communicated with journalists or fans for a long time. She does not maintain social networks because she does not want details of her personal life to be discussed. At the same time, Maria’s sister assured that she never regretted her lost popularity and had no intention of returning to the world of show business. “It was her choice in favor of such a life, no one forced or forced her. She and her husband are raising children and taking care of family affairs. Masha also keeps in touch with me and her parents, but after she moved, of course, we began to see each other less often. I think rumors about her are spreading due to a lack of information, but I can assure you that half of them are not true,” Margarita said.
What the stars of the first “Star Factory” look like now
Now Alalykina is 36 years old. She works in a field far from pop art. Previously, the artist admitted that she regrets participating in the “Star Factory” and does not like to remember her former life. After becoming a mother and meeting her loved one, Maria finally realized that she actually has value in this world.

Successful and beautiful
Everyone knows Masha as a member of the Russian women’s group “Factory”. The girls took this name in honor of the project that brought them together - “Star Factory”. The quartet, including Masha Alalykina, reached the finals. As a prize, the girls got the opportunity to shoot their first video clip for the song “About Love.”
The clip instantly blew up the top charts of famous TV channels, and the newly created “Factory” went on tour with the finalists of the “Star Factory”. The girl’s desire to become a star ended some time after the group’s existence. She suddenly simply disappeared from the team. Fans are still wondering what caused him to give up his lifelong dream.
Biography
Maria Alalykina is one of the most prominent participants in the very first season of the music show “Star Factory”; she became a finalist of the project as part of the female group “Factory”. Her group took second place in the overall final standings, for which they received the opportunity to shoot their first professional music video for the song “About Love.” While the video was broadcast on all television channels in the country, Maria and the rest of the project’s graduates went on a large-scale tour.
However, her creative career ended before it even began. The most interesting and talented singer of the project suddenly disappeared from the stage. Since then, many fans have been wondering where and why Maria disappeared, and what she is doing now.

Maria has always strived for creativity and publicity. Since childhood, she was fond of music, dancing, and singing. She had an appropriate education - there was a school, various creative clubs, and a specialized department at the university. In her youth, Masha became a participant in a federal beauty contest, where she was a public favorite and entered the final. Then the girl realized that she wanted to become famous and successful, because she really liked being the center of attention.
Masha Alalykina at the Star Factory
Coming to the casting of the talent project was not initially Mashina’s idea, but, as usual, her younger sister’s. But the girl didn’t particularly resist, because she understood that this show could be her lucky ticket to the big stage. At the casting, Maria turned out to be one of the brightest participants, and easily won over the jury. She was approved, and the girl fell into the hands of the best teachers in the country, who taught professional vocals to all participants of the “Star Factory”. During her stay in the project, the girl changed a lot and became more self-confident. The opportunity to do what she loved not only increased Masha’s self-esteem, but also gave her confidence that she was moving in the right direction.
Childhood and family of Maria Alalykina: dances and music
Masha was born into an ordinary family, lived in the residential area of Alla Dukhova.
Back in 2001, Maria became the winner of the “Beauty of Russia” competition. As she said in an interview, this came as a surprise to her. Before participating in the competition, the girl decided for herself that she would be able to appear on television; we can say that she set such a goal for herself. Another dream of Masha was to sing from the stage.
She posted the photo, having previously scanned it, as a participant in the competition. About six months later, when she went to the website, she saw that her name was among the finalists based on the results of online voting. Maria was surprised to learn that she had been chosen as the girl of the week. Even going to the finals, she did not know who her competitors were. Masha perceived her victory then as something extremely important. She was waiting, what would happen next, what would follow such a brilliant victory? Giving an interview after the award, she said that her dream is happiness in her personal life and a successful career.
A few months later, photographs of the girl appeared in a number of magazines, including FHM magazine.
Group "Factory"
After graduating from the “Star Factory,” its finalist graduates went on a tour of the country with a large-scale concert. Masha performed as part of a female quartet. The young artists filled the halls and stadiums, received a storm of applause, and it seemed that Maria really liked it. But over time, working in a team that was predicted to have a brilliant career brought the girl less and less pleasure.
Fans, concerts, attention to her person, shooting for famous magazines - this is what Masha liked. She was depressed by the fact that she was just a beautiful, talented doll in the hands of the producer, who sang what he said, dressed and moved as he said. The girl wanted a solo career and a different format of performances. In addition, relations between the group members were tense.
The sudden disappearance of the most talented performer of the Factory group
With such a work schedule and tours throughout the country, the singer began to skip college. And I skipped a lot - entire semesters. The girl started having problems. Naturally, Masha’s parents began to insist that she finish her studies first, that a diploma was more important. They forced me to return home. As a result, the singer left the group. She left to close the session.
Masha Alalykina gave up fame. Her colleagues were perplexed. They were shocked. Such a bright performer, an ambitious person - and she just upped and left... They refused to understand this.
Masha Alalykina actually did not expect to give up everything that she had achieved with her talent and work. She sincerely believed that she was leaving for a while. She could not even imagine that this would be the end of her career. For all fans, Masha Alalykina remained a singer who left for unknown reasons.
Education or fame
The university where Maria was a student was categorical about attending classes once every semester. The dean's office did not care about constant absences due to the singer's career, and they promised to expel the girl if she did not improve. Masha’s family unanimously insisted that she complete her studies, and only after receiving higher education continued to pursue a career.
Alalykina decides to do as the family advises and leaves the team, as it seemed to her, not for long. She goes to take the exam.
For a long time, the girls from the Factory could not understand Masha’s actions. After all, she is giving up what she has dreamed of since childhood. And Maria herself could not even imagine that from that moment she would not return to the stage. Fans remembered her as a spectacular and bright blonde who sang beautiful songs and then abruptly left the group.
Problems in life
Additional factors that influenced Maria’s fate were problems with her studies. The university simply began to refuse to host a student who regularly missed classes due to long tours.
In addition, the parents insisted that studies should be a priority, and a singing career could wait. They argued that popularity and relevance could be fleeting. As a result, the girl left the team and went to college to try to close the session and avoid expulsion.
Her colleagues in the Factory group were simply shocked by this decision. True, when Maria herself left, she thought that she was leaving her career in show business only for a while, but it turned out that this was happening forever. There will be no turning back. In fact, this turned out to be the end of her performance on stage; in the memory of most viewers and fans of Russian pop music, she remained the sweet girl from the “Star Factory”, whom many liked, but left for unknown reasons.
Personal life of Maria
A photo of Masha Alalykina with her husband Alexey Zuenko can often be found on the Internet with the title “How her husband changed the life of a talented singer” or “Changed the stage with a hijab.”
But the girl does not pay attention to these provocations. Despite the fact that a lot in Masha’s life was decided by her parents, then her husband, she believes that everything is going on as usual and exactly as it should be. The girl's husband greatly influenced her life. So, Masha rethought her values, then renounced the dream of her whole life and decided to devote herself entirely to her family hearth.
Personal life
The key to all the changes in Maria's life was her family. At first, her parents insisted that the girl quit the stage and responsibly study at a higher educational institution. Then her lover - a very successful and wealthy lawyer named Alexei Zuenko - began to influence the young girl’s life so much that she overestimated all her interests and values.
Maria Alalykina and Alexey Zuenko
At first, she gave up her dream of becoming a music star, a pop singer, and decided to concentrate on family life and women's happiness. Then, following her husband, she changed her faith - she converted to Islam, changed her name to Maryam and after the wedding put on a hijab.
Maria began to sharply condemn everything she had previously done - singing, performances, female musical groups and dancing in short skirts on stage. Speaking in front of a male audience now also seemed wrong and shameful to her.
The couple had a daughter. They lived quietly, but in abundance, took care of their family and each other, and also learned a new faith together. But this marriage did not last long - after a few years, the husband left Maria for her close friend.
Islam in Masha's life
Soon after marriage, she changes her religion, puts on a hijab and changes her name from her usual one to Maryam. Also, the girl suddenly became ashamed of what she had previously done: performing on stage, revealing outfits and dancing to ridiculous love songs.
Showing up in open clothes in front of a stranger is now unacceptable for this girl. Over time, a girl was born into the family, who brought Masha and Alexey even closer. They lived calmly and peacefully. The husband tried with all his might to provide Maryam and her daughter with everything they needed so that they could be proud of him. However, this happiness did not last long. Two years later, Masha Alalykina’s husband left her with the child. As it turned out later, he went to the girl’s best friend.
Alalykina today
Now Masha is under the close attention of journalists who are trying to find out something about the girl’s personal life. According to some publications, she is married to a certain Mahmud. Her new husband took the family away from the eyes of the intrusive press, and they live happily.
Others say that Maria is still raising her daughter alone. Her only help is her parents. There is also a version that the daughter remained to live with Maria’s ex-husband, Alexei, and is being raised by her father and his new wife. Photos of Masha Alalykina today cannot be found either on social networks or in the news feed about celebrities.
Now she works as a translator (from Russian to Arabic and vice versa). Maria also speaks several European languages, which she uses successfully in her work. She remembers her past life reluctantly and always lowers her eyes. Like, it’s a shame for a girl to behave like that.
As you know, she tried her hand at one of the linguistic centers where she lives. However, she was forced to resign due to prejudice against her faith and appearance.
Today, Masha does not maintain pages on social networks and does not share her photos. She also cut off all ties with friends from the Star Factory. He communicates only with Sati Casanova periodically, since they are united by the same faith and have common interests.
Alalykina's new family
Some believe that Mary married again, for the second time. Her new husband's name is Mahmoud. According to rumors, he took his wife from Moscow. Now she lives in a small town near Dagestan. Allegedly, this is where the new family is raising their common children.
Only one fact is known for sure. Alalykina is engaged in translations of texts from Ukrainian into Arabic and vice versa. Works with other texts too. She speaks three European languages. Alalykina imposed a ban on her musical career and will never return to the stage. According to her current concepts, this is wrong, and her interests are also completely different.
There was a period when she got a job at a linguistic center and wanted to try herself as a teacher. But from there she quit quickly enough. Judging by Masha’s words, her colleagues at the linguistics center were not satisfied with her current religion. They didn't like her wearing a hijab. Employees of this center, on the contrary, claim that Alalykina resigned of her own free will.
