The eldest daughter of Nikita Mikhalkov is today one of the most popular and sought-after actresses. She always surprised viewers and fans with the naturalness of her behavior both in the frame and in everyday life. It seems that this is where the actress found her zest: to give all the best during filming and never play outside the set. Anna Mikhalkova does not consider herself a person of passions, but changes in her life are unexpected even for herself.

Life at gunpoint

She began acting at the age of six, when her father, Nikita Mikhalkov, decided, using the example of his own daughter, to show how the child's outlook was changing. For 12 years, he asked Anna the same questions, and the girl answered them. Now she says that she does not like the film "Anna: 6 to 18", considering it "a dissection of her personal life." But the project had one big plus: the director's eldest daughter was never afraid of the camera and felt quite natural in the light of the spotlights.

After leaving school, Anna Mikhalkova went to study art history in Switzerland, but the girl knew for sure: she would not live there under any circumstances. And she actually returned two years later, one of which she spent in Switzerland, the second in Italy. And then she entered VGIK on the course of Anatoly Romashin and since 1995 began to actively act in films.

At the same time, Anna Mikhalkova tried to do everything to prove: she came into the profession not because of the ambitions of the daughter of a successful director, she is on her own. She doubted herself for a long time and believed that she was taking someone else's place. But with each new entry into the frame, the actress felt more and more confident.

At the same time, Anna Mikhalkova never argued with those who believed that she had achieved success solely thanks to her surname. She just enthusiastically did her job and tried to separate creativity and life outside the profession.

Twice in the same river

Anna Mikhalkova admitted that the family occupies a very important place in her life. This was the case while she lived with her parents, and it became so after she got married. There is a legend that Albert Bakov, whom 20-year-old Anna met at an evening at the Russian Cultural Foundation, charmed the girl by reading a hokku.

In fact, Anna Mikhalkova always only smiles mysteriously when she hears this story. But once in an interview, she stated that her husband had never read poetry to anyone in his life. He has nothing to do with art, and in general it is difficult to imagine more different people than Anna Mikhalkova and Albert Bakov. Perhaps they were united by the complete opposite.

By the time he met Anna, Albert Bakov had graduated from the Institute of Asian and African Countries at the Mikhail Lomonosov Moscow State University and divorced his first wife, with whom two sons were born. He was 12 years older, had an analytical mind and did not consider art to be something vital for humanity. At the same time, he knew how to look after beautifully and conquered with his deepest confidence in his own righteousness.

A couple of years later, Anna Mikhalkova and Albert Bakov will become husband and wife, and soon they will have sons, the weather-olds Andrey and Sergey. After their birth, Anna Mikhalkova was forced to leave her studies at the law faculty of MGIMO, where she entered after graduating from VGIK.

The couple lived together for quite a few years. As in every family, they had their own reasons for dissatisfaction with each other, but, perhaps, the main destructive factor for their family was distance. Anna and her sons were constantly in the capital, and her husband spent most of the time in Ulyanovsk, where he held an important post. As a result, Anna Mikhalkova and Albert Bakov broke up, filed an official divorce and went through life each in their own way.

When rumors reached Albert Bakov about the imminent wedding of his ex-wife and director Alexander Shein, the state of affairs ceased to suit him. He reappeared in Anna's life. She did not immediately respond to the courtship of her ex-husband, but after that she accepted his marriage proposal. Soon after the reunion, the daughter of the couple, Lydia, was born.

Anna Mikhalkova managed not only to marry her husband for the second time, but also to learn one important truth: no decision in life is final. And she also suddenly realized that divorce is not so scary.

Restart

Probably, Anna Mikhalkova can rightfully be called an incorrigible optimist. The only thing she needs is love. Not only male, but universal. She herself radiates love for people and she wants others to treat her the same way.

She rushes to help everyone who needs it, and she is sometimes ready to save herself too. This is the secret of the incredible transformation of the actress. A couple of years ago, she suddenly appeared before the public, pretty slim and prettier. Anna Mikhalkova, who never considered a few extra pounds a problem for herself, went on a strict diet, went in for sports and looked a good ten years younger.

And the reason lay in the fact that being overweight was the cause of hypertension. She needed to save herself, which she did. However, after achieving her goal, she did not become an ardent advocate of a healthy lifestyle. She just revised her habits in order to live fully.

She generally knows how to restart her life, refusing to communicate with unpleasant people in time, or, conversely, starting communication with those who are personally sympathetic to her. Anna Mikhalkova lives by the principle: everything that has been done is done correctly. She just knows how to be happy anytime and anywhere.

Today Anna Nikitichna is a successful actress and mother of three children, two sons and a daughter. How are relations in the family of Anna Mikhalkova developing, and how did she react to the scandal associated with the eldest son Andrei and his friend Ksenia Puntus?
