Katya Lel's anniversary: ​​exclusive details of the private party

Katya Lel spent her birthday, albeit with a pause of a month from the real date of September 20, in the very center of Moscow in the new restaurant of TV presenter and Miss Russia 2003 Victoria Lopyreva. Katya greeted guests in an elegant black dress. He was delivered from Milan on the eve of the event. The singer felt like a queen in it and looked slimmer. It turns out that before her birthday, Lel went on a strict diet and increased her physical activity.

“The most important secret of my beauty is my love for life. I can't say that diets can affect your condition if you treat yourself poorly. I love my body and it reciprocates. Losing weight with a positive attitude towards life is much easier,” Katya Lel told Woman.ru

One of the first to arrive to congratulate the birthday girl was Angelica Agurbash. She seems to know the recipe for eternal youth and looks even more dazzling every day, despite her 44 years. Angelica told Woman.ru that she continues to master the program of complete recovery of the body, which she turned to a month ago. And even exhausting rehearsals have a positive effect on her appearance.

“I’m always tired and unkempt after rehearsals, but the most interesting thing is that loud compliments are given to me when I absolutely don’t care what I look like. And all because external beauty begins from within,” Anzhelika Agurbash enthusiastically told Woman.ru her secrets.

But Natasha Koroleva, on the contrary, is not fixated on diets, although she is already quite tired of culinary delights. But her mother Lyudmila Poryvay, even after the closure of the “Time for Lunch” program, decided to continue the delicious theme in her creativity.

“She released the song “You'll Lick Your Fingers,” and she and I now want to make a bright, fun presentation. In general, everything will be in our mischievous style. Even on Katya’s birthday, I have time to notice all the details of the holiday in order to think through ours. And now we are working on the idea of ​​a music video,” Natasha Koroleva shared with Woman.ru

But Katya Lel no longer needs to think about the video. It can now be seen on music TV channels. The presentation of the video for the song “Let Them Talk” went off with a bang. Starring Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin. Woman.ru was the first to talk about the filming 2 months ago. Then Katya Lel thoroughly prepared for them. The black dress with a cape, in which she appeared in one of the episodes, favorably emphasized the singer’s beautiful figure.

“This dress is part of my first look. I will also try on another outfit - a mini with a figure eight on the back. This is no coincidence, because Sasha Ovechkin plays under this number. As for the third image, I’ll just say that it will be very frank,” Katya Lel shared with us.

The singer presented her creation to the guests without Alexander Ovechkin. The famous hockey player could not come to the celebration, but did not stay away. Alexander recorded a video congratulation for his friend, in which he asked a question that was troubling the public: why were two videos shot with Pavel Bure, and one with him? It can be assumed that by doing so the athlete is not hiding his desire to once again be in Katya’s arms. But the singer gave an ambiguous answer to this question: inviting Sasha to shoot a new video would be interesting, although there is no talk of this yet. The public hasn't really looked at the first video yet.

In the middle of the evening, Katya Lel's guests watched a mini-film about the 20-year creative journey of the hostess of the evening, where Katya herself frankly told the whole truth about her victories and failures. In particular, about creative and personal relationships with former producer and businessman Alexander Volkov. About her desire to start a family and the impossibility of this, since her patron was married. The singer allowed herself such frankness for the first time.

“I can’t look back without emotion and trepidation. But when I still look into the past, I understand that everything was not in vain. I am a very happy person, I am in my favorite profession. I have a family. And this is very important: to succeed both in your career and in your personal life. Because during periods when I wanted to give up everything, close people helped,” Katya Lel admitted to Woman.ru.

During the celebration, many stars recalled the hits of Katya Lel from the time she worked with Max Fadeev. Inna Malikova noted that the songs “Jaga-Jaga” and “Fly Away” are always in her player. And she would even define the latter as the best. Anita Tsoi emphasized that: “Max hooked Lel and showed everyone the real her.” By the way, Choi was greeted by the guests of the evening with special excitement, because information recently appeared that she had undergone an expensive procedure to rejuvenate her voice. When we asked if this was true, the singer answered briefly: “It was. But we won’t continue the topic. It's closed."

Yulia Nachalova also came to congratulate Katya Lel on her birthday. One of the artist’s gifts was a song. Julia admitted that she always looks at Katya as an example of a successful woman.

The youngest guest of the holiday was Katya Lel’s daughter, Emilia. At the age of five, she already sat down at the piano. It is possible that the girl will also be a singer. She was very talented in singing along with her mother at her birthday party. Lev Leshchenko himself noticed this and blessed the girl for a fruitful creative path. Katya Lel’s path was not easy, but she was still able to achieve success. At 40, she continues to write songs and perform on stage. Woman.ru sincerely congratulates the birthday girl on her birthday and wishes her love, happiness and new hits!

Celebrity story

Recently, Katya Lel was invited to Russian Radio in the studio of the Evening Show with Alla Dovlatova. During the program, the star talked about her acquaintance with her husband, businessman Igor Kuznetsov. When one of the singer’s concerts came to an end, a man approached Katya and asked: “Do you have your marmalade?”

The performer admired Igor’s sense of humor. However, the wedding ceremony took place only three years later. Katya tried to find out what kind of person her chosen one was, so she looked closely at him for a long time.

“I immediately told him that my profession was taboo for him. “He agreed with this,” said Katya Lel. – In those years, I practically lived on tour. I immediately asked Igor if he was a free man. An affair with a married guy is unacceptable to me.”
