The 2KOLYORY team met with Anetti Zhernova, a finalist of the romantic show "The Bachelor" Season 6 on the STB channel, on the eve of her birthday. We talked about life, people, and future plans. In this short interview for the 2KOLYORY brand, we tried to figure out who Anetti Zhernova really is. Some adore her, while others dislike her. Anetti is an extraordinary personality: charismatic, very creative, temperamental, unpredictable, and charming.
The show revealed that you are a quite straightforward person who sees insincerity in others. How do you manage to stay yourself, regardless of the circumstances?
The feeling that someone is pretending doesn't come from my head; it comes from my intuition. Everything seems fine on the surface, but something inside me warns me, makes me anxious. At first, I might not understand why, but over time, the person reveals their true self, and I realize that my discomfort was justified.
As a versatile and creative person, you write beautiful poetry, sing, and have even performed a concert. Do you have a desire to develop in this direction?
Yes, I do. My poems need music, which is why I signed up for guitar lessons. When you only know a few chords, you realize it's not enough. I can accompany myself, but I would like to do it more professionally. Plus, I love self-improvement.
You tried your hand as a radio host in Odesa; would you like to work as a TV presenter?
First and foremost, the format of the show matters to me. Style and the way information is presented are important. Nowadays, there are many TV presenters who come across as having a fake, insincere delivery. Sometimes I can't force myself to believe what they are talking about. It seems they don't believe it themselves. I don't want to be that kind of presenter. My ideal show format would allow me to be creative, have my own style, and have the right to my own truth and my own point of view.
Perhaps we are missing a new project where the host doesn't fit into a box, but remains themselves—with their flaws and humanity—and the viewer can feel that?
Perhaps so; I would gladly try myself as a host in such a project. I've also noticed a pattern: if the host is a man, he is better at staying natural or, how should I put it, adding his own charm to his intonation. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for many female presenters. The world of social media is much more democratic and less demanding of strict formats. YouTube, Facebook, Instagram—they attract a huge number of users.
Information from bloggers reaches the consumer faster. Do you have a blog or anything of that nature?
Yes, I run a YouTube blog. For now, I only add my clips and poems there. I think, over time, it will be more filled out. People become bloggers because they can share what they have personally been through: give advice, share experience, share information—all while staying themselves, without losing their individuality. Honesty is always winning. Currently, it is especially in short supply—in society, in personal relationships, etc.
What do you dream about?
I have a strong desire to get involved in big cinema.
Do you have any acting training?
I attended acting classes a few years ago, and I intend to resume my training and move toward my dream!
Do you believe in coincidence?
No, everything that happens to us is not a coincidence. Every individual case is connected to something in your past or future. Everything happens for a reason in your life. The ancient sages said: "Chance is the providence of God."
Are you an open person in life?
Only with close people. You cannot keep your soul wide open for everyone. In reality, your inner content is your value. By opening your soul to everyone, you show disrespect to yourself, to your values that you have accumulated, leading even to the loss of your own energy. People are different: some will bring kindness, while others will walk through it in "dirty shoes" and won't even notice they have hurt you. Being open is hazardous to your health (smiles).
How has your life changed since the project?
The project was a good school of life. On one hand, it made me recognizable and brought me popularity; on the other hand, it changed my attitude toward certain things.
And the last question, which many are probably interested in: do you have a significant other?
Maybe yes, and maybe no (smiles playfully). We wish Anetti success and may all her dreams and plans come true in the coming year of 2017!
