He lives alone in a huge apartment in the center of Tbilisi. Children scattered to different countries, took their grandchildren with them. And every day he buys a bouquet of yellow flowers and climbs with them to the Mount of Thoughts. Kakhi Kavsadze, who played Black Abdula in the film "White Sun of the Desert", unlike his screen hero, was devoted to only one woman all his life. No one else can take her place in the heart of an actor.
The son of an enemy of the people
Kakhi Kavsadze certainly had to become a musician. His grandfather Sandro was the choir director at the Tbilisi Seminary, and one of his first students was Joseph Stalin. Later, Sandro Kavsadze will become the artistic director of the Georgian Song and Dance Ensemble. Sandro Kavsadze met with his student Dzhugashvili in 1937, after the end of the decade of Georgian days in Moscow. When Stalin asked his former teacher what to give him, the proud son of Georgia asked him only for the famous pipe, which the leader did not let out of his hands. It is still kept in the house of Kakha Kavsadze, as well as a letter that Stalin personally wrote to his grandfather after the news of the latter's illness.
David Kavsadze, the actor's father, had a difficult fate. He went to the front in the Great Patriotic War, near Kerch he was captured, and freed with the help of Georgian emigrants, he arrived and organized a choir in Paris. Upon returning to his homeland, David Kavsadze was repressed and sent to Siberia, where he died a year before Stalin's death.
Kakhi and his brother Imeri were excluded from the music school for gifted children, as the sons of an enemy of the people. But difficulties did not break the brothers. Imeri later became an opera singer, and Kakhi entered the theater institute, from which he graduated in 1959.
First, only and forever
He was 22 years old when he first saw Bella Marianashvili at the institute. She was talking about something with her friend and laughing fervently. The 18-year-old student occupied all the thoughts of Kakha Kavsadze. But he did not dare to approach her at that moment. He just followed her everywhere and looked, thinking that he was completely unworthy of such a beauty.
But at some point, Kakhi plucked up courage and nevertheless met this amazing girl who completely captured his heart. He looked after her beautifully and old-fashioned: he gave flowers, took her to concerts. A modest young man from an intelligent family and his beloved have been dating for 12 years. During this time, Bella became a rather famous actress in Tbilisi, she acted in films and was considered the muse of director Mikhail Tumanishvili, who involved Bella in all his productions.
They loved to visit each other, but no one talked about creating a family. Kahi was preparing for a serious step, and Bella reasonably believed that a man should make an offer. However, there was no offer. Mom once told her son that it was time for him and Bella to live together. And soon he introduced Bella to his friends as his wife. The friends were surprised, and the girl did not hide her amazement. Later, he brought Bella to his home and told his mother: this is his wife.
Kakha and Bella's wedding was considered the day when his and her relatives first gathered in their house. They signed much later, when their children became adults. They decided to take this step only because, without a marriage certificate, they refused to give them some kind of official piece of paper.
For Kakha Davidovich, family is not just a name, and even less a stamp in a passport. It is a responsibility to the one you love and a conscious decision to make a loved one happy.
Never in his life did he confess his love to his wife. It just wasn't necessary. According to the actor's conviction, love means actions, not beautiful words. He guessed all the desires of his beloved woman, in every possible way protected her and took care of her.
Happiness in spite of
They lived for 26 years, but fate measured them only 3 years of unconditional happiness. Bella carried under her heart the second child, the son Kakhi dreamed of. In the fifth month of pregnancy, she caught the flu virus and with a temperature of 40 went to the theater to work out the morning performance, because there was no replacement for her.
The flu gave serious complications, pneumonia began, but the young woman was treated with folk remedies, fearing antibiotics to harm the unborn baby. Irakli was born completely healthy, and Bella soon began to complain of poor health. She began to have inflammation of the nerve endings. At first, her legs gave way and she stopped walking. She could not move without assistance, but her husband never made her feel like a burden.
He carried her in his arms, put her in the car, and his beloved Bella was always with him. When one of the publications wrote about this situation in the family of the famous actor, using the word "tragedy", there was no limit to Kakha Davidovich's indignation.
He was happy next to this woman, his love for her did not change due to the illness. She, his Bella, helped and supported him in everything. Yes, it was sometimes difficult for him to raise Nanuki's daughter and son, to help his wife and provide for his family. But he was happy despite the difficulties. At home he was always greeted by cleanliness and order, and also by a smiling wife, who for 23 years of illness never complained, no matter how difficult it was.
It got much worse when Bella was gone. He called her from another city and she asked him to come. He flew home, and a day later, on August 28, 1992, she was gone. But he is sure: she is still next to him, because there is no death.
It is for her that he buys yellow flowers every day and brings to the resting place of the only woman who still occupies the main place in the heart of Kakha Kavsadze. And on Bella's birthday on April 1, he gives bouquets to unfamiliar women. Paying tribute to my love for Bella.
Kakha Kavsadze's star work was the role of Black Abdula in the film. Many shots were cut from the film, and the ending had to be rewritten at all at the request of censorship.
