But this did not affect the acting data in any way. From the age of 10, Anna studied at the Studio Theater at the Academy. Gnessins, which, however, she did not graduate from. At the age of 13, Anna's parents send her to the Swiss Institute noble maidens in the hope that there the girl’s character will become softer, and she herself will learn manners. At the institute Shulgina studied English and Spanish, cooking, horse riding, read Shakespeare in the original. After several years in Switzerland, the girl returns to Moscow to hometown finish school and go to university. In 2009, Anna was enrolled in the Theater Institute named after. B.

After graduating from higher education educational institution Anna Shulgina did not rest for a long time and a couple of months later she made her debut on the central television channel as the host of the “Our Way Out” program. And - what a coincidence - the central place on the jury of the project was occupied by none other than... singer Valeria, mother of Anna Shulgina! Now Anya was noticed by the whole country, and her popularity began to gain momentum. By the way, at the same time the girl began to appear in episodic roles in domestic television series.

Having noticeably lost weight and looked prettier, in 2014 Anna Shulgina decided that being just an actress and TV presenter was boring, and released her first single “Give a Chance to a Dream”, a little later - lyrical song“You are mine”, which she performed together with... (unexpectedly!) her mother, singer Valeria. A year later, Anna presented her solo composition “Knife”, then appeared naked in a photo shoot for a men’s magazine.

Fans and celebrities love to compare Anya with the singer Valeria. The girl was pretty tired of this, she even said: “Mom and I are not Siamese twins! If she’s perfect, then I’m not!”

Personal life of Anna Shulgina

A damn unloving person, as Anna Shulgina calls herself, is happy in a relationship today. A couple of years ago, the girl had an affair with pianist Maxim Tarasov. During the filming of the project “Our Exit,” Anya was credited with falling in love with co-host Alexei Vorobyov. But, according to the artist, they were connected only by friendship. Anna does not disclose the name of her current chosen one, she only admits that he is much older than her and is also associated with creativity. “I believe that a real man should have a goal in life,” says Shulgina. - He should strive to earn money for the sake of his family, set himself more high goals because it will motivate him even more. The higher you set the bar for yourself, the higher you begin to jump. Even if you don’t make it, you will have much more than if you set the bar that you supposedly will reach. A man must want to have children. He must have an inner core, he must be a man next to whom you feel completely protected. You know, I realized that appearance is not the main thing in a man. I had sympathy for different young people, this is normal for my age. For some reason, it didn’t happen that there were romances with smart and courageous people. When I was almost disappointed in young people, I suddenly met my man, who is responsible for his words, down to the smallest detail. He never lets me be sad, he feels me. I pick up the phone, smile, and he understands that something is wrong with my mood. We have similar interests and even have the same dreams. We text each other at the same time and call each other at the same time. He doesn’t allow me to overwork, he takes all my problems upon himself. I'm not used to this and for a long time she said: “Wait, is this really necessary?”, and he says that’s exactly how it should be! So I’m over the moon now because I found a real man.”

The famous singer and mother of three children Valeria became the main character of the first episode of the new season of the project “Secret for a Million” on the NTV channel.

The vocalist’s heirs are already quite old. Valeria's daughter Anna Shulgina lives an independent life, builds creative career, happy in a relationship. The girl has a civil marriage with rapper Slam. However, during an interview with Lera Kudryavtseva, Valeria made it clear that she was not happy with her daughter’s choice.

“It’s hard for me to imagine him as a husband and father of children. I do not know why. And as a young man, let it be, yes,” said singer Valeria.

Anna Shulgina, who also appeared in the studio of the program, said that she and her mother are very friendly, and she has no secrets from her. But at the same time, the girl emphasized that if Valeria is against her choice, she is unlikely to listen to her.

“Eighty percent out of a hundred, I will do it my own way,” said Anna Shulgina. - This is my life. And even if I step on a rake, it will be my rake.”

Valeria immediately remembered that at one time she did not listen to the opinions of her mother, who desperately did not like her daughter’s chosen one, producer Alexander Shulgin. Even while meeting her future son-in-law, the woman realized that her heiress would have a very difficult time with him.

This marriage was indeed not a happy one. But despite difficult relationships, Valeria gave birth to her husband three beautiful children. And then she left him, unable to withstand the violence to which her husband constantly subjected her and their heirs. During the program, Valeria once again remembered what she had to endure in her second marriage.

The host of “Secret for a Million” Lera Kudryavtseva could not resist asking a provocative question. She asked if the singer Valeria was ready to become a grandmother. But the vocalist had a ready answer. As it turned out, this topic had been raised more than once in the family.

“I often tell children: guys, if you start a family, decide to have children, then this is your responsibility,” said Valeria. “But the word “grandmother” itself is strange to me. I can’t try this on myself. And I probably wouldn’t want to be addressed like that. Better - by name."

She has two younger brothers: Arseny and Artemy. After scandalous divorce parents, due to Shulgin’s cruel attitude towards his wife and children, she became the stepdaughter of producer Joseph Prigozhin.

Anna made her screen debut as an actress in the melodramatic series “There Was Love” (2010), based on autobiographical book her mother.

Anna Shulgina: “If you think that the phrases “You look so much like your mother” or “You are just a copy of your mother” are compliments, then you are mistaken. It’s unbearable to listen to this already.”

In August 2013 Anna Shulgina together with Alex Vorobyov became the host of the new music show“Our way out” on the channel "Russia 1".

However, he is much better known under the pseudonym Slem. It is noteworthy that he is the producer of Anna Shulgina, notes Starhit. Note that on his page in the same social network there are many photographs with Anna, in which it is obvious that they are connected not only by a working relationship.

She was their first-born, and the young parents could not be happier with their baby. A year later, the couple had a son. The girl grew up very musical and studied the piano from an early age. Constant tours, concerts, television programs Valeria was not allowed to devote much time to her children, so it was decided to send very little Anya to a school for noble maidens in Switzerland.

The older the girl became, the more she noticed that a rather complex relationship was developing between her parents, and she even witnessed several times high-profile scandals which ended in beatings.

At the same time, the paparazzi began to write in the press that Anna Shulgina, Valeria’s daughter, was very inferior in appearance to her mother, that she was similar in facial features and physique to her father, and that she was far from her star mother.

By the way, a little later rumors appeared in the press that a whirlwind romance began between Valeria’s daughter and Lesha Vorobyov. The more curious decided to ask Anya herself about this.
