Leyla Aliyeva: biography and personal life, photo. Leyla Aliyeva: biography and personal life, photo Wedding and festive events

Despite her bright oriental appearance, she does not appear anywhere, especially where her fans can see her, of which the singer has a lot, and she does everything to ensure that their number only increases. To do this, Laura has everything - an undoubted talent, a well-chosen repertoire, the beauty and simplicity with which she communicates with the audience. The singer understands well - as soon as she gets sick with star disease, how her fans will immediately feel it, and their love will only decrease from this - who likes arrogant people, and especially artists?

In the photo - singer Laura Alieva

The stage image for the performer is also very important, so the Dagestan singer Laura Alieva does not go on stage without makeup. Her repertoire mainly consists of national oriental songs, but there are also Russian and foreign songs in it. According to Laura, the singer should sing in different languages, because art is international. She does not hide the fact that she insured her voice for a million in one of the German insurance companies, and did this on the advice of her managers. When Laura Alieva is asked if she is going to conquer Moscow, the girl replies that she is more accustomed and comfortable to work in her republic, but she also “lit up” in the Russian capital, filming a video for the song “You Don’t Know”, which can be seen on television.

In her tour schedule, the Dagestan singer necessarily includes many Russian cities, such as Astrakhan, Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Neftekumsk and others, in which there are Dagestan diasporas, and her compatriots are happy to come to Laura Aliyeva's concerts to listen to their favorite songs. But Russian listeners also go to her concerts, the singer finds out about this when they come up to her for an autograph or to take a picture together as a keepsake. Her image makers, stylists, make-up artists work on the stage image of the singer, since Laura Aliyeva should not appear in front of her audience without makeup.

More known from gossip as the wife of Emmin Agalarov. But at home, in Azerbaijan, as well as in the world community, she is also known as the eldest daughter of the current president of the country.

public image

Leyla herself has also been actively involved in social and political activities in recent years. Thanks to her strict Caucasian upbringing, the girl honors traditions, and it is difficult to find any scandalous stories in her biography. Often journalists confuse the girl with the Kumyk singer - her full namesake, but the singer Leyla Aliyeva and the daughter of the President of Azerbaijan are completely different people.

Leila is positioned in the world community not as one of the offspring of rich and influential families, whose main advantage is his origin. The girl is well aware of what a respected and noble dynasty she is, and tries to live in such a way as to be the pride of the family. She harmoniously combines the beauty and wisdom of an oriental woman, but at the same time, thanks to her education received in Europe, she is quite Europeanized. This combination is a rarity these days. Due to her natural beauty, bright oriental appearance and rich social and political activities, the girl arouses the interest of the media and often appears in gossip column reviews.

The childhood of the president's daughter

Leyla was born on July 3, 1986 in Baku in a family who at that time was a teacher at MGIMO, and is currently the president of Azerbaijan. Leyla's grandfather, Heydar Aliyev, was also the president of the country. The biography of Leyla Aliyeva, if we consider the period of childhood, is no different from the stories of most other children. Of course, the girl did not feel a shortage of toys and other material goods, but her parents made efforts so that she would grow up unspoiled. Her mother, Mehriban Aliyeva, is currently the first lady of the country, and she is a doctor by training. The girl received her secondary and primary education in her homeland at secondary school No. 160 in Baku. Mehriban did not want to send her children to the closed from early childhood, deciding that during this period there is nothing more important than maternal affection and attention. Then Leyla, along with her younger sister Arzu, was sent to study at private colleges in Switzerland and the UK, so the girl is fluent in English. Parents tried to give everything to their daughters. A lot of attention was paid to education according to all traditions, so that they never forget that they are oriental women. At the same time, attention was paid to their comprehensive development and education.

Constant media attention

Of course, in 1986, when Leyla Aliyeva was just born, there was no talk of a presidential dynasty. But in the 90s, after her grandfather became the president of Azerbaijan, everything changed. The girl had to walk all the time with several guards. She repeatedly admitted that because of this she could not feel free, because she, like all children, just wanted to walk along the streets of the city so that no one would pay attention to her. Nevertheless, already in her youth, she liked to participate in various state-level ceremonial events.

After leaving for London, the girl breathed deeply, because few people knew her in the British capital, and she did not have to go for a walk with a crowd of guards. Even now, she recalls her time in London as one of the best periods of her life.

Acquaintance with a husband and marriage

One can almost confidently say that the biography of Leyla Aliyeva is crystal clear, with the exception of one incident. While relaxing in a Swiss ski resort, the girl met her future husband, Emmin Agalarov.

He was not a simple guy, but from a very respected and wealthy family. He also received an excellent education abroad, and his father owns the Crocus Group. The state of the Agalarov family is estimated at almost 400 million US dollars. But the girl's father, having learned about her passion for the younger Agalarov, was furious, because she is a representative of the presidential dynasty, so Leyla Aliyeva's future husband had to be from a noble and respected family. But the girl insisted on her own, not wanting to connect her life with a “suitable” person for this, but wanted to meet with the one she loves. And dad gave up. Emin had to officially ask permission from the girl's father just to start courting her.

Wedding and holiday events

In the spring of 2006, the young people got married. The official first wedding ceremony was held in Baku, where a relatively small number of guests were invited - only 240 people. After the newlyweds went to the Maldives for their honeymoon. According to Azerbaijani customs, the relatives of the bride arrange another wedding for the couple, so after returning to Moscow, another ceremony was held at the Crocus City Hall, where more people were already invited, and representatives of the press were admitted.

The wedding of Leyla Aliyeva became a very high-profile event. B. Krasnov, who is the author of the inauguration of V. Putin himself, acted as the director of the celebration. Vladimir Vladimirovich sent a congratulatory letter to the newlyweds, and D. Bush prepared a whole congratulatory video message. The ceremony itself really became a grandiose and expensive event. Dishes and furniture for the celebration were brought from the UK on 8 trailers, and flowers for decorating the halls were delivered from Holland on a special flight.

Family life

After the wedding, Leyla Aliyeva and her husband moved to live in Moscow. This is not surprising, because the Agalarov clan, of which Leila became a member, conducts all of its main business in Russia and lives in Moscow. But the girl did not have to be bored, and she quickly found something to do. She entered the MGIMO master's program, where she studied from 2006 to 2008. Thanks to this and her father's teaching background, she became the president of the "Azerbaijan club of students and graduates of MGIMO." After moving to the Russian capital, the girl was actively engaged in social activities. Leyla's husband was seriously fond of music and took his first steps as a solo artist, so the girl often had to attend all kinds of secular parties with him, presentations of new albums, etc. Leyla Aliyeva once admitted that she knew by heart all the compositions of her husband. In December 2008, Leila gave birth in an American clinic to two twin boys, who were named Mikail and Ali.

plastic surgery

Mehriban Aliyeva, Leyla's mother, is not just the first lady, she is also considered the main standard of beauty in her homeland. She harmoniously combines the qualities of an oriental woman, an exemplary wife and caring mother, and a western woman. It is not surprising that she instilled good taste in her daughters, taught them to follow and take care of themselves, to keep themselves in shape. Of course, Mehriban uses the services of plastic surgeons. However, Layla, according to rumors, repeatedly turned to them for help. Of course, the girl herself did not comment on all these rumors, but media representatives, comparing early photos and current pictures, assert with confidence that Leyla Aliyeva, whose plastic surgery is visible to the naked eye, still uses the services of doctors.

The girl corrected the shape of her nose. She also regularly uses fillers and Botox to make some facial features more expressive.

Divorce Rumors

Recently there have been persistent rumors that Leyla Aliyeva divorced her husband. Emin spent more and more time in Miami and was busy recording a new album. There were also rumors about his romance with "Miss Universe" Olivia Calpo, whom he invited to shoot in one of his videos. Also, a new stage of the Miss Universe contest was organized in the Crocus City Hall, in the events dedicated to which Emin and his parents took an active part, while Leila was not around. At the same time, she actively participated in public life in her homeland in Baku. Of course, all this could not be ignored, and the media began to write about the couple's divorce. But he officially denied all these rumors, saying that there was no divorce.

However, the couple, who could so often be seen at social events, can hardly be seen together today, as they spend a lot of time apart due to work and social activities.

Leyla Aliyeva today

Layla is not one of those people who works for the camera, playing a busy person. The girl is really very actively involved in the social and political life of the country, making great efforts to develop Russian-Azerbaijani relations. She is the editor-in-chief of the Baku magazine, runs the Heydar Aliyev Charitable Foundation and tries to help people in difficult life situations.

Leyla is also the head of the Azerbaijan Youth Organization in Russia. At the same time, she manages to be a good mother, paying a lot of attention to her sons.

After each prayer, I did tavba and prayed to the Almighty to help me.

Indeed, " ... only Allah guides to the straight path those whom He wills " (the meaning of Surah Al-Kasas, verse 56) and only " ...Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills, and directs to Himself the one who turns to Him " (the meaning of Surah Ash-Shura, verse 13).

How true and convincing these words from the Koran are, and how pleasant it is to hear today the story of another sister who has chosen the true path of Islam for herself. Yes, today we will talk about sister Laura, whose name a little earlier sounded like “singer Laura Aliyeva”. So:

- Laura, you left the stage and many were shocked. What happened?

- Yes it's true. But, I must say that this did not happen out of the blue, and not by accident. Over the years, I have had the desire to quietly move away from everything in public and leave the stage. This thought never left me, because faith in Allah was invested in me since childhood. Many thought that if I sing, it means that I am far from Islam, that I do not support religious precepts. Sometimes they were surprised: “How! You pray?! Do you know any other suras, do you read prayers? – they asked, as if I came from another planet. In principle, there should be nothing surprising in the fact that I stopped singing. A person's profession may be different, but faith is one. Everyone has their sins, as well as the bright side of the character. But, probably, it is impossible to forget the Almighty so much. That is, I want to say that in the soul of every person there is Allah, but what place He occupies in him is another question.

- Have you ever thought about the place in your life that Allah occupies when you performed in front of the public, gave concerts?

- Not at first. How can something that pleases people be sinful, I thought. Besides, it was my income. Later, slowly, the words of those close to me began to reach me, that this was a great sin, that this should not be done. Some of them said how sinful it was, while others argued that there was nothing wrong with making people happy. Over time, everything that connected me with the stage began to fade into the background. There was only one question on the agenda: “We must leave the stage! ..” Only “how?” - I did not know. "How to leave? And how will it happen? How will I live if I leave the stage? I will need (and I did earn well), what should I do? - these questions tormented me every day more and more. Nafs- as they say, did his job - in the evenings she assured herself: " All! I won’t sing anymore, I’ll make a tavba and be a Muslim woman obedient to Allah”, - and in the afternoon, these vows disappeared somewhere, again I performed somewhere, and everything went on as usual. I could not make up my mind, although after each prayer I did tavba and prayed to the Almighty to help me. She cried and asked: “O Allah, when, finally, I come to this, help me!” I was afraid to die in the position in which I was - to die as a singer. And, I was terribly afraid. Now, I will much calmer accept the idea that my soul will be taken away. And at that time, I was terribly afraid, I thought: “Well, how is it that I will die a sinner?! I need to have time to make tavba, I didn’t manage to do anything for the sake of Allah, and yet He gave me so much. Family, children, earnings, I have everything I need ... ”But, as they say, everyone has their own hour ...

– And how did it happen?

“While I kept asking Allah to help me, for about one month, I began to have dreams about the afterlife. I talked about some of them. Many did not believe. Later, all sorts of rumors began to come out about this, although nothing like this happened to me. I did not focus on this, and did not convince anyone, because it is their right to believe or not believe in my truth. My truth is with me and only Allah knows what happened in my soul.

Before that, my husband constantly told me: “In the end, say goodbye to the stage. I will provide for you, you will go to the sheikh, you will feel better, and you will live a calm normal life of a Muslim woman.” I often thought about these words. And, in the autumn of last year, there came a period when it seemed that they were whipping me with fire from two sides - and I want to leave the stage, and I’m afraid - “how am I going to live ?!” But the last dream was decisive, which brought me out of this fire of doubts. Only a narrow-minded person would not pay attention to such a sign of fate. I can’t hold back my tears when I remember him ... The next morning, without saying anything to anyone, I just decided for myself - “That's it! I'm making a point!" On the same day, as if Allah Almighty himself had strengthened my choice and gave the exact signal, suddenly my husband returns home and says in a decisive tone: “That's enough! You must decide what to do next! Tomorrow we go to the sheikh and you start a new life. Today I need to leave urgently, and you think carefully and let me know what you decide. Taken aback by the coincidences, I think to myself: “Wow, how clearly and clearly they make me understand that I am on the right track, my choice is beyond doubt! ..” He left. I managed to say in pursuit: “And I was already going and ready for this.” Apparently, he did not believe, and the next day, upon arrival, he again asked what I had decided. I confirmed my decision, and we went to the ustaz.

- Can I tell you a little about this meeting - what are your feelings after visiting the sheikh?

- First of all, of course, it is impossible to describe the feeling of calm that I experienced there. And when I approached the sheikh's house, and already being there, it was impossible to stop the tears. They flowed like a river. I could not answer the sheikh's questions, my tears were choking. As if on a tape in front of me, all life moments passed, everything for which I wanted to be forgiven by the Almighty. The heart was beating one: “O Allah! Oh Allah! I was no less shocked by the wife of the ustaz, her warmth: how she talked, how she received guests - she turned out to be such a wonderful woman! The first thing the sheikh asked was whether I came of my own free will or someone insisted. I said of my own free will. Actually, it was. Whoever, whatever they say, if it were not for my strong desire, maybe this did not happen. It seems to me that the prayers were heard by Allah. Peace of mind is the most tangible feeling that I experienced after visiting the Sheikh. In general, it is impossible to fully explain in words the state that enters the heart when visiting a sheikh. With the same calmness and ease, you leave him. I feel so good now, so easy, and there is barakat in the house, and I don’t want to return to my former life for anything.

- Laura, of course, this is a personal matter for everyone, but if I may, I would like to hear what your prayers are about today? And wishes to readers?

- Can. First, I would like to say do not judge people all in a row. Sooner or later, Allah guides His servants. Everyone has their own time. Just pray for your brother or sister sincerely. Always leave a place for a person to repent, a chance to understand that he can be saved. Ask yourself the question more often: “If Allah Almighty himself forgives the sins of the repentant, if he wants, who are we to judge someone?” Who thought that my life would turn around like this, and I would cover myself as it should be. I didn't think about it myself, but I did. And those who came and understood the sweetness of iman hold on to it tightly and do not want another way. If it is impossible to go back to start life right, it is never too late to move forward to end it right.

Of course, my prayers today are not only for myself. I ask for all those who need the mercy of Allah that the soul be taken away with iman and the first night in the grave be light, so that the grave torment does not touch them, so that the Sirat Bridge makes it easier, so that we take the scales from the right hand. I especially want to wish our sheikhs, alamas, everyone who works in the Islamic media, all imams, and those people who are engaged in the promotion of Islamic knowledge, health, happiness in both worlds, so that Allahu Taala protects them and gives them the opportunity to convey to us the word of Allah in the best light.

Interviewed: Khalimat Magomedova

“I DO NOT LOOK FOR THE RUSSIAN STAGE!”

- Laura, in our newspaper we have a heading “SMS battle of fans”, in which readers vote for their idols. You've been leading there for a very long time. Tell me, do you enjoy such manifestations of your fans? Vote means they love...
- Of course, I'm glad! The fact is that this attention of the public and the love of the people must be earned. I probably deserved it, because I work on myself, create, and my work is close to people!
What do you think is the secret of your popularity?
- First of all, it is, of course, a talent! The artist must do everything possible to make the audience love him! The repertoire, of course, must be chosen correctly, so that, again, the public will like it. Simplicity must always be present in the artist ...
- That is, the simpler the singer behaves on stage, the more loved he is?
- All sorts of star diseases, on the contrary, extinguish the star, the status of the artist changes. Those artists who think that people will love for their arrogance are deeply mistaken!
- What songs does your repertoire consist of?
- I perform national songs and oriental motives. After all, we live in Dagestan, so the songs should be appropriate. From time to time, you can sing both Russian songs and foreign ones. And in general, I think an artist should sing in all languages! If I have time and opportunity, I will sing in all languages ​​of Dagestan.
- I heard that you insured your voice. Tell me about it.
- The proposal came from Moscow. I have a very good team of stylists, makeup artists and image makers. They offered me this. So, I insured my voice in one of the German insurance companies that are located in Moscow.
- And how much, if not a secret?
- For a million rubles ... I hope that in the near future I will not spoil my voice. Now and the time has gone so far that you can insure absolutely all the organs of your body. The artist insures his hands...
- A football player - his legs ...
(Laughs). I'm a professional singer and I have to think about taking care of my voice.
- No ideas about conquering the Russian show business? Now many artists are sent to “storm” Moscow.
- In Moscow, by the way, I shot a video for the song “You don’t know”, it is shown on TV. I travel to different cities and countries, but it’s more familiar and convenient for me to work here, in my city, in my republic ...
- Where was the last time?
- In Astrakhan, I gave a concert, and I am again asked to hold a solo album there. On July 4 there will be a solo concert in Neftekumsk. The Dagestan diaspora living there always invites me to give concerts. After the concerts there, I was surprised how local Russian girls came up for an autograph and took pictures for memory ... It was very nice!
- What is the stage for you?
- The stage for me is not only work, it is my life, my soul ... The stage idolizes me in this life! Being on stage, I want to grow further, improve!
- What can all your fans expect from you in the near future?
- At the moment I'm recording a new album, there will be 15 songs. And in three months, probably, I will give a solo concert.

“WITHOUT LOVE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SING!”
- A lot of women are subject to "shop therapy". Is it close to you?
- I love shopping! Recently, I stopped buying clothes in Dagestan, as soon as I go somewhere - to Moscow, Astrakhan, Novgorod, St. Petersburg - I immediately visit shopping malls, boutiques and buy whatever my heart desires ...
What do you spend the most on?
- On belts, various accessories. I pay attention to clothes that would suit me on stage. Casual clothes can be chosen easily. Fashion is something that is comfortable to wear, so that you feel comfortable in the clothes that you choose ... In general, my weakness is shoes, high-quality, expensive, Italian.
- Do you have any shortcomings?
- In body?
- No, in terms of your soul and character.
- I have no shortcomings!
- Are you the perfect girl?
(Smiling). I am glad that the Almighty created me the way I am! I would not like to change anything in myself and add!
- Do you believe in love at first sight to the grave?
- Without love it is impossible to sing! You have to put your soul into the song, and the soul cannot live without love, and therefore the songs turn out beautiful. After I fell in love, my songs became more soulful...
- So you are happy and loved ...
(Smiling). Of course I'm happy! Moreover, my new album is dedicated to my beloved!

"I CAN'T FORGIVE BETRAITION!"
- Tell me, Laura, what is the most tiresome thing in marriage? A lot of young people, when they get married, come across such a problem as "everyday life". That is, there was a romantic period, and everything was fine, but when they began to live together, small disagreements began ...
- I have never had such a thing! My husband is often on the road, and we have time to miss each other. It's nice, on the one hand.
- Are you a vindictive person?
- I can forgive a person, I am a kind soul, I do not get angry for a long time. I am a Scorpio according to the horoscope, and if I get hurt, I can get very angry.
What would you never be able to forgive a person?
- Duplicity, hypocrisy and treason ...
- Tell me, are you often rude to people?
- I don't remember that. When I feel bad in my soul, I cheer myself up. Even the smile of people makes me happy...
Do you know the feeling of loneliness?
- You know, sometimes I like to be alone ... Society and noise sometimes bother and even annoy to some extent ...
- And what do you do when you're on your own?
- I’m just resting mentally, dreaming ... I’m thinking about how to further improve my musical career ...
- That is, thoughts about work again?
(Smiling). Just work inspires me!
- Who is the ideal of female beauty for you?
- Jennifer Lopez…

"MONEY SHOULD BE SPENDED WISELY!"
- Laura, how do you feel about feminism?
- Any woman, if she is smart and knows her business, has the right to go and move higher! But I believe that in politics a man should be at the head ...
- And in the family?
- In the family too. The woman is the backbone. After all, people say that a man is a head, and a woman is a neck.
- When did you cry for the last time?
(Laughs). When I watched an Indian film. In general, crying is good. My dream is to cry when I perform on stage. At the third solo concert, having performed the song “Mavlid”, I cried for a very long time behind the scenes. She was afraid to show tears to the audience, and then regretted that she did not. It would be heartfelt...
- Do you attend concerts of visiting Russian stars as an ordinary spectator?
- Yes, I was at the concerts of Alla Pugacheva, Vitas ...
What artist would you like to attend a concert?
- Of course, the Jennifer Lopez show! If possible, I will go to America to see her concert. I really like her work and the way she created her image.
- Do you consider yourself an independent girl?
Yes, I don't depend on anyone. On the contrary, I help my relatives ...
- How much money would you like to earn?
- I don't think about it! No need to make a cult out of money. If you have talent and health, there will always be money. I earn, but I get more pleasure when I spend money ...
- Again on things?
- Money should be spent wisely, and I know how to do it! I spend on vacation, on myself, I love gifts for relatives and friends. The more I spend, the more I earn! (Smiling).

"I DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO RUMORS!"
Does raising a child bring any troubles?
- The child is not always with me, it happens with his father. In general, upbringing cannot bring troubles. A child is my first incentive to live and create, everything in my life! Dreaming of having a second one...
- How old is your son now?
- Seven years.
What would you like him to be in the future?
- He wants to be an athlete. (Smiling). Of course, education is also very important! It's too early to think about it, he's only seven years old...
- Laura, how do you feel about plastic surgery?
- Very bad! Although I understand that women do a facelift, pump Botox to be more beautiful. But it doesn't threaten me yet! It should be done after 40.
- Now many Dagestan singers have brought it into fashion ...
- You know, artists need it! If a singer over the age of 35 enters the stage with wrinkles, no one will want to look at her, no matter how well she sings. And if she looks her best, takes care of herself, then success is guaranteed!
- What, in your opinion, should an artist do if he understands that his fame and popularity are gradually fading away?
- We need to shoot a new video for a new song so that it is touching ...
- And how do you feel about such a phenomenon as PR? In Dagestan show business, by the way, this is now very common.
- In Dagestan, it is not necessary to invent some kind of PR for yourself, because people themselves talk about you, whether it is true or not, but they do!
Have you heard any crazy rumors about yourself?
- Earlier, at the beginning of my career, it was unpleasant for me to hear this because I was not used to it, but now, on the contrary, I am bastard from it ... If I hear something about myself, it means that they remember me and do not forget!
- Even if these conversations are negative?
- Let them talk! I know what's good and what's bad! And what people say or invent, I absolutely do not care!
- What makes you happy?
(Smiling). My family and love...
