Appearance

Sasha never hid the fact that she turned to plastic surgeons for help. For example, she enlarged her breasts a little. The girl also wanted to get rhinoplasty. But her friends managed to convince Alexandra that a nose with a sharp tip is the main “feature” of her appearance.

The blonde regularly visits a cosmetologist, who cleanses her face and gives her Botox injections. Antonova carefully monitors her figure. She eats healthy and goes to the gym several times a week.

Excerpt characterizing Sasha (singer)

Under the pretext of removing the wounded, do not upset the ranks! Let everyone be fully imbued with the thought that it is necessary to defeat these mercenaries of England, inspired by such hatred against our nation. This victory will end our campaign, and we can return to winter quarters, where new French troops that are forming in France will find us; and then the peace that I will make will be worthy of my people, you and me. Napoleon." At 5 o'clock in the morning it was still completely dark. The troops of the center, reserves and Bagration’s right flank still stood motionless; but on the left flank the columns of infantry, cavalry and artillery, which were supposed to be the first to descend from the heights in order to attack the French right flank and throw it back, according to disposition, into the Bohemian Mountains, had already begun to stir and began to rise from their overnight positions. The smoke from the fires into which they threw everything unnecessary ate my eyes. It was cold and dark. The officers hurriedly drank tea and had breakfast, the soldiers chewed crackers, beat a shot with their feet, warming up, and flocked against the fires, throwing into the firewood the remains of booths, chairs, tables, wheels, tubs, everything unnecessary that could not be taken with them. Austrian column leaders scurried between the Russian troops and served as harbingers of the attack. As soon as an Austrian officer appeared near the regimental commander’s camp, the regiment began to move: the soldiers ran from the fires, hid tubes in their boots, bags in the carts, dismantled their guns and lined up. The officers buttoned up, put on their swords and knapsacks and walked around the ranks, shouting; The wagon trains and orderlies harnessed, packed and tied up the carts. Adjutants, battalion and regimental commanders sat on horseback, crossed themselves, gave the last orders, instructions and instructions to the remaining convoys, and the monotonous tramp of a thousand feet sounded. The columns moved, not knowing where and not seeing from the people around them, from the smoke and from the increasing fog, either the area from which they were leaving or the one into which they were entering. A soldier on the move is as surrounded, limited and drawn by his regiment as a sailor by the ship on which he is located. No matter how far he goes, no matter what strange, unknown and dangerous latitudes he enters, around him - as for a sailor, there are always and everywhere the same decks, masts, ropes of his ship - always and everywhere the same comrades, the same rows, the same sergeant major Ivan Mitrich, the same company dog ​​Zhuchka, the same superiors. A soldier rarely wants to know the latitudes in which his entire ship is located; but on the day of battle, God knows how and from where, in the moral world of the army, one stern note is heard for everyone, which sounds like the approach of something decisive and solemn and arouses them to an unusual curiosity. During the days of battle, soldiers excitedly try to get out of the interests of their regiment, listen, look closely and eagerly ask about what is happening around them.

Personal life

The singer carefully hid her personal life. Fans only knew about the relationship with the influential show business representative Garik Balayan. The move to America was even associated with the fact that the boyfriend allegedly put a spoke in Sasha’s wheels. In particular, he hired doubles of the artist, who sang songs from her repertoire at Russian concerts. But Antonova refutes these speculations in conversations with journalists.

Sasha and her daughter Uma

In 2020, rumors appeared that Sasha was pregnant. Soon the singer gave birth to a daughter, Uma, whose photo she happily posts on Instagram. History is silent about whether the woman had an official husband. In an interview, the artist says that a full-fledged family did not work out, and soon after the birth of the child she separated from his father. Sasha comments on single motherhood:

“I was in limbo, despite the fact that I am a rather persistent person and do not lose my head even in critical situations. It was a bit difficult for me. And this despite the fact that I immediately started work. I felt withdrawn, tied to a small child, because I didn’t have a nanny: I couldn’t trust such a baby to anyone.”

Present time and creative path of Inna

The fourth album is released in October 2020 under the title Body and the Sun. Among the top compositions, Diggy Down stands out, which took high positions in Romania and Europe. During the same period, the song Bop Bop was released, and a little later Rendez Vous. August 2016 began with the singer opening the Untold festival, where she performed on stage with the G Girls and many others.

In 2020, Nirvana released its fifth studio album. The public liked the songs Ruleta, Gimme Gimme and Nirvana. At the end of 2018, Apostoleanu announced the recording of her next collection, which will be in Spanish. The work is supervised by David Sienton.

Up

Singer Sasha Project was disfigured beyond recognition by 9 plastic surgeries

At the beginning of the 2000s, Sasha Project conquered the top of the charts with the hits “I Really Need You” and “White Dress.” And then she abruptly disappeared from the eyes of numerous fans. The singer's songs sounded from every iron. Fans of the Russian pop princess across the country dreamed of being like their idol. The pretty blonde was one of the most promising artists in Russian show business. However, a promising career, sold-out concerts, the status of a sex symbol and the covers of glossy magazines were lost overnight.

She hasn't been seen for four years. The singer disappeared from all screens and radars of the country. In an exclusive interview with SUPER, Sasha Ginzburg explained her many years of silence and spoke about the difficult trials that befell her. All this time, the star is trying to correct the mistakes of the plastic surgeon who mutilated the girl’s face and life.

Let us remind you that the other day the world was shocked by the story of another victim of plastic surgery: Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger changed her face beyond recognition. The star's new appearance shocked many of the celebrity's fans, and the doctors involved in the operations were subjected to public censure.

Sasha, you haven’t been seen on stage for four years now, you don’t give concerts. What happened?

Sasha: At first I chased my health. Then they cheated me out of confidence: they said that my chin is weak, it needs to be corrected here, it needs to be corrected there, they say, everything is so not perfect with you. Although I was always happy with my appearance and went to the doctor just to correct my nasal breathing.

Mom: She needed an ENT operation, and since she is a public and media person, she wanted everything to be good, without problems, so they also brought in a cosmetologist to the ENT doctor.

Sasha: I had very sagging breasts - large breasts quickly lose their shape after childbirth, and the doctor actively played on this. He said: “We will fix everything for you, tighten it up for you, make it beautiful, and your nose will breathe. The seam will not be visible at all. You still have a weak chin, you need to get an implant, otherwise it’s very sunken. It's not beautiful. You'll be like Angelina Jolie." I gave in to my emotions. The man turned out to be a strong psychologist. He knows how to push. You realize that you are leaving without answers. Plus with some imposed things that you didn’t think about at all.

What is this doctor's name?

Mother: Voroshkevich Andrey Albertovich. Bios Clinic. I myself was his patient, that’s why we came there. He did everything well for me.

Why did you decide to have chin surgery and breast augmentation?

Sasha: I was 22 years old when my daughter turned two. The breasts hung down to the navel. Before giving birth, I was size three or four, and when I was breastfeeding, I was size five or six. When I finished feeding, she went down to third again. For a young girl who is also divorced, with a child, and in search, with such breasts, to put it mildly, is not very comfortable.

What happened to the chin? After all, everything was fine with him.

Sasha:

I do not know. I was convinced.

Mother:

More than one doctor said this. Before we came to Voroshkevich, we visited many famous doctors. They said that everything about my face was perfect, the only thing was that I needed a small implant in my chin. When not one person, but five people tell you this, you begin to think about it and look at yourself in the mirror differently. All Hollywood stars supposedly do this, and so do ours.

Sasha:

Then, as it turned out, the stitch that is made inside the mouth is the most infectious. After the operation, the implant was not level. I went for consultations. I just wanted to understand, maybe I’m finding fault, maybe I’m slandering a person?! But other doctors bombarded them with questions: “Why did they make an incision inside your mouth, why wasn’t it secured, why not an external suture, and why did they put it in you at all?” When I told the doctors what and how, they looked at me with widened eyes. I came to Voroshkevich again and said what the doctors told me.

Why did you go to him again?

Mother:

The man had such a moral impact, he was very persuasive.

You worked in show business and you fell for it?

Sasha: I initially went to him with a complaint, but it turned out that I agreed on the next operation.

Tell us about your first operation? What did you see when you woke up? How it was?

Sasha:

After the first operation, I understood that I would not look beautiful. When I woke up, I saw bruises, red eyes, and a cast. This happens to everyone when the wall of the nose is affected. True, I don’t understand why the wall of my nose was affected? At first I was euphoric. When they took the tampons out of my nose, I was breathing perfectly, everything was great. But after a while, breathing began to become difficult, and when I asked Voroshkevich why, he said: “Everything is fine, now the swelling will go away and you will breathe well.” I constantly came for procedures to the ENT specialist, who did nasal breathing for me. I had all sorts of washings done, in general, everything was as it should be. When the swelling subsided, I began to ask again why there was no constant breathing?! He said, wait another six months. I began to wake up at night because I was suffocating.

Mother:

The nose has collapsed and looks terrible even after the fourth operation. Different nostrils, visible seam.

Sasha: After the first operation, there was generally an overhanging beak that did not connect either in breadth or length. I had a completely straight nose, but after the operation, for some reason, it became snub-nosed. It felt like I was just given a frying pan.

What happened to the chin?

Sasha:

At first everything was beautiful and wonderful, until the swelling began to go away. Then it became noticeable that my chin was crooked. He slid to the side. It is not clear why he did not record it.

Mother:

The doctor explained that some nodule had not resolved and it had moved out. In order not to bother, he simply cut it out and threw it away.

Sasha:

As a result, when the swelling went down, I went to him with complaints. Crooked chin, sunken nose, different nostrils. He again said that we need to wait, let’s pull him in. Do massages, push it in the other direction - and it will fall back into place, and in general, noses only rise after a year and a half.

Mother:

Ultimately, nothing went away. And they offered to redo it at their own expense.

Was this the second operation?

Sasha: Yes. This was the second operation. I’ll explain why they suggested it. My mother is a fairly serious person, and even after the first operation it was mentioned that the case would go to court, and only after that they said: “Oh, let’s redo everything.”

And you decided to put yourself in the hands of this surgeon again?

Mother:

I said: “We will still attract another specialist.” To which Voroshkevich said that no, it’s not necessary, and that Sasha is like a daughter to him, I love her so much and will do everything in the best possible way. I will return everything back, you will be satisfied. She will be a beauty, just like she was!

After operations, when you saw yourself in the mirror in a different form, how did you experience it? Did you cry?

Sasha:

I can say that I am still crying because I can only take pictures of myself, and only from one angle. I understand that even if I go out for some interviews, they won’t recognize me. Even people in the fan club, which I still have, remember that Sasha, but they don’t recognize the Sasha that we have now. My career is at an end, and I don’t know how to do anything else. I don’t know how I will continue to live, and I have two children and no job. It turns out that because of some doctor I should remain a nobody in my old age? Housekeeper? Housewife? But I didn’t dream about it and never wanted it.

Mom: When Doctor Voroshkevich told me: “Well, it happens...”, I answered him: “There’s a bottle of acid on your table, and I accidentally touched it. She fell and wet your hands, and you can no longer operate. And I will also answer you: “Well, it happens.”

How many plastic surgeries have you undergone in these four years?

Sasha:

About six...

Mother:

No, nine.

Sasha:

I've already lost count. There were the first two or three operations when I was still consciously going for it. Then there were emergency ones. There was a threat to life.

Have you had inflammation?

Sasha: Yes. Dr. Voroshkevich decided to put an implant on the back of my nose, but he did not agree with me on this. He decided to simply hide his wrong actions in an easy way. I asked him: “Give me back my straight nose!” I had a beautiful nose, give it back to me.” And he decided to get it back through an implant. But he didn’t coordinate this with me and didn’t even warn me. I wake up, and he says to me: “You see, because of you, I even went to work sick, I performed surgery on you with the flu.” And this is already a big violation! And then he told me: “I put a small implant here for you,” I said, “What other implant?” - “Well, you wanted an even nose, so you will have an even nose!” When I asked about the chin, he told me: “We threw away your chin.”

Mother:

We began to be indignant at why we paid for this implant, and you took it and threw it away. But that's not the point. The seam simply did not heal, and the implant itself was visible. When you turn your lip away, you have holes in your mouth, and through them you can see this transparent implant! You see, it was just a horror movie. He tells her: “Well, if you rinse it, it will take longer.”

Sasha:

I went to their hospital for two months because of this implant. And all this time they sucked the pus out from under me and punctured the lump. For two months they persuaded me to rinse my mouth with some kind of iodine garbage so that these holes would supposedly heal. And there are holes there, each two centimeters long, how can they close on their own?

Mother:

When our nerves once again gave way and we went to make trouble, we attracted Professor Brusova, she is a luminary in the field of implantology. When she saw this, she was shocked and said that she needed to operate very urgently. Moreover, several doctors were present at the operation, but they explained to us that the same doctor who placed it should remove the implant, because he knows how it was done. In order not to cause further harm, Dr. Voroshkevich removed this implant. Afterwards we decided to forget about this clinic, because those were very difficult days. Almost a year spent in a cast.

Did you do his breasts too?

Sasha:

Breasts are a different story. The chest was both square and triangular, and twisted, then he put an implant under my muscle - supposedly there was no other way. Then they wanted to tighten the breasts and, since they were too large, they installed the smallest implant. For some reason he placed it in the mammary gland. Why is still unclear. Plus another piece of the mammary gland was cut out.

Mother:

As a result, she is now unable to breastfeed her second child.

How were you not afraid to go to him?
Mother:

At that moment there was no longer a choice. There is no work, no money to do this somewhere in another clinic. So, with the money we spent on operations, at that time it was possible to buy a one-room apartment.

Sasha:

In short, to put it mildly, there was simply no money for a normal doctor anymore. I also had a small child in my arms, and I was divorced. My husband and I were on bad terms at the time, and he didn’t really help me.

Who saved you? Who performed your final surgery?

Sasha:

We only recently eliminated the main problem at Dr. Piskunov, whom we initially wanted to see. Thanks to him, I can at least breathe, and even if my nose is crooked, I’ve come to terms with it. I have a lot of complexes, my nerves have become bad, I can’t communicate normally with people, I rarely leave the house...

Are there any doctors who can correct the current situation and eliminate aesthetic problems?

Sasha:

I’m ready to stay with these shortcomings because I have two children. The main thing is that they at least have a mother, and it doesn’t matter that she’s crooked and slanted, it doesn’t matter. If I go under the knife again, I'm sure I won't survive the operation. After these anesthesia, I began to have memory problems, I forgot the Russian language, I have difficulty remembering words, and I developed pathological illiteracy. I have problems sleeping. I couldn’t sleep at all for a year...

Who was with you all this time? People from show business with whom you were friends, did they support you in any way?

Sasha:

At first they supported and remembered, but now they don’t. I'm actually glad that many jumped higher than me, although the situation was completely different. The same Irakli, we have known each other for a long time, or Dima Bilan, we were very good friends. Now I'm happy for them.

Mom : We just recently went to Artem Sorokin’s birthday party, where all our friends and acquaintances were there. For example, the singer Slava and Mitya Fomin, with whom they constantly saw each other, did not recognize her.

Sasha: We see each other every year, and every year no one recognizes me.

Did your voice remain the same?

Mother:

I stayed, but it's a matter of psychology.

Sasha:

Not even in psychology, it just all comes down to finances. A lot of time has been lost to return to show business, you need to shoot a video, record a new song, at least one, then you need to work on the album. My last career cost my mother $2 million.

But do you want to sing?

Sasha:

Now I have come to the conclusion that I can’t do anything else and this is the only thing that gives me pleasure. I still can't live without it. It happens that they call and offer some concerts, tours. They happen, very rarely, but they do happen. When I get there, they start telling me: “You’re not Sasha, aren’t you ashamed?” I say that I am Sasha and begin to tell this whole complicated story. I explain what happened, but they deny everything. I point to the face, eyes and lips, you can still find out... Indeed, a slightly different nose, changed hair color, but who doesn’t change their hair color after such a long time?

What do you want to prove in court? What are you suing for?

Mother:

Why are we suing? A man is not a piece of meat! You can't do this to him.

Do you want compensation?

Mom: Of course. We just want to forget about it. There was an ugly attitude on the part of the management of this clinic. I wrote a complaint, to which the answer came that it was our own fault, that it was unknown where we went and what we did.

Are you no longer allowed to undergo additional operations?

Sasha:

Piskunov forbade me to do anything at all!

Mother:

When Sasha was sent for a consultation with an ENT specialist, it turned out that there was some kind of foreign body there that urgently needed to be removed. Then I began to openly threaten them with court. They took Sasha by the hand and led him to Professor Piskunov. When he saw all this, he prescribed emergency surgery for her. This operation was paid for by the Bios clinic, which is now refusing everything. They say that they are white and fluffy and that they have done nothing wrong. Sasha, you see, it’s her own fault that she walked and they helped her. They say that Sasha is so ungrateful.

Sasha:

Yes, I was brain-touched... I went and begged for operations from them. And they are so noble that they did the operations for free.

Mother:

An operation was performed, he removed a piece of the implant measuring 0.8 mm, which simply came off. Now we have a trial going on, in which there is an obvious conspiracy of doctors. The most offensive thing was that it was written that the girl supposedly came for correction of her appearance, and we came just to breathe. If people remain silent about this, then such situations will continue.

Sasha: If I had come for my appearance, then every time my nose was done, I wouldn’t have had an ENT operation. All the times I had operations, I had an ENT with aesthetics, except for the last one in which there was only an ENT, and now I am breathing.

Could you appeal to TV viewers who want to improve their appearance?

Sasha:

Don't be fooled by all the pictures that are out there. Be yourself unless it is a medical necessity. There are people who are born with serious defects, and for them what is considered a deformity among normal people will be normal for them and bring joy. Don't trust doctors, you need to look at recommendations. Never run for the cheapest or most expensive price; choose a doctor based on his work and recommendations.

Beginning of a musical career

One day, popular producer Yuri Aizenshpis noticed the attractive and young dancer. He invited the future artist to make her own musical project. At first, the young girl worked under her real name and surname. Over time, she came up with a stage name for herself.

The talented girl quickly gained public fame. Singer Alexandra Antonova’s songs “It’s Just Rain,” “Around the City at Night,” and “It Didn’t Work Out, It Didn’t Grow Together” were heard on all radio stations in the country. Videos of the popular artist were constantly shown on television screens. Her fame reached its peak. Many of Alexandra's fans noticed her certain resemblance to the foreign singer Madonna.
