Actress Natalka Denysenko about her husband in the Armed Forces and life in the realities of war

In a frank interview for the “Incredible Truth About Stars” program on STB with Hryhorii Reshetnyk and Nadiia Matveeva, Natalka Denysenko, star of the TV series “Serf”, spoke frankly about her life during the war. She gave honest answers to questions about her husband, Andriy Fedynchyk, who is currently defending the country from the occupiers, and told us how she manages to keep her spirits up and what inspires her.

The incredible truth about the stars

Why did she stay in Ukraine?

I didn’t want to go anywhere, to run away. I just wanted to be at home. Besides, my husband is in the Armed Forces. I thought: “God forbid, something happens, so I have to be somewhere nearby to solve some issues.

About hate in social media

Natalia faced hate on social media. Some commentators were surprised that the woman continued to live, work, and take care of herself despite all the difficulties.

“This is probably written by people whose husbands are not at war. They have some preconceptions about what a woman whose husband is now defending the country should look like. Women do not sit and cry all the time because they have other things to do. We have to move on.” – explained the actress.

When emotions overwhelm you

I can smile and move on with my life, or I can cry, for example, when I hear a song. Or after a conversation with your husband. Then I went to the store, or to shoot reviews on Instagram, or to do other things. We talk to Andriy every day, he is always in touch. Recently, I sent him a video of my son looking at our family photo hanging at the entrance and saying: “I’m waiting for my dad…”.

About our independence

“When the war is over and Andriy returns, I will need to learn how to ask for help all over again. He always told me that I was the dominant one in the relationship, that I would never ask for anything myself.”

On inspiration and work

While her husband is at war, her son warms her mother with warm hugs. He does not let Natalia lose heart. In addition to spending time with her child, the actress takes a walk along the Kyiv Sea to unwind.

Natalia admits that she continues to receive acting offers, but her main source of income today is still blogging. And not long ago, she plunged into another favorite pastime: her own project, Natalka the Reader.

“I recite poems by Ukrainian poets in public, accompanied by a piano. These are charity evenings. Thus, the audience and I raised up to 400 thousand h ryvnias,” the actress said.
