Katya Keshchyan biography. Ararat Keshchyan: “I lisp with my daughter until I start to get impudent. Girls should be feminine

Ararat Keshchyan's house was covered with garbage from Olympic construction sites

The charming Armenian, who played the cunning macho Arthur MIKHAELYAN, nicknamed Michael, is only so enterprising and loving on the screen. In life, Ararat KESHCHYAN is much more modest: he grew up in a simple Soviet family, and in love he was much less lucky than his hero - bad marriage led to divorce stormy romances every now and then ended in disappointment and loneliness.

Ararat Keshchyan comes from the village of Nizhnyaya Shilovka, which is near the border with Abkhazia. Here parents future star moved from Gagra to save the family from the war in the early 90s. Once upon a time, Nizhnyaya Shilovka was a flourishing place - today this small village of a dozen yards is more like a dump where construction debris is taken from the Olympic venues. The people closest to Ararat live here: father, mother, friends and relatives.

Ararat KESHCHYAN

The upbringing of children (Ararat has an older brother Ashot - the director of the films "Moms", "Nannies.") in our family was engaged in the wife, - says the father of the actor Gevorg Ashotovich. - She worked as a teacher and kept the guys in a tight rein, they had a rather tough daily routine: school, lessons, housework. Every hour is scheduled.
- Did the boys even have time to misbehave?
- Once I wanted to give Ararat a good beating. I asked him to collect tangerines after school, and he met a friend and played in the yard. I come home from work and my son hasn't done anything. But then I didn’t touch my son with a finger: he was as thin as a bicycle. I was afraid that I would not calculate my strength and kill the boy - my hand is heavy. I had to promise Ararat that I would postpone the punishment until later, when his meat grew.

Lumumba's grandson

While studying at the Sochi Polytechnic College in 1999, Ararat fell ill with KVN, as part of the Lumumba Grandchildren team, he was the absolute champion of the season. In 2003, the Keshchyan brothers were invited to Moscow to join the RUDN University Team, where he became a leading actor, and soon a star on a popular TV channel.
- Did Ararat know that he would be an artist?
He didn't know anything! He grew up as an ordinary boy, - says the father of the actor. Do you know why I called him that? In honor of the victory of the Ararat football club in 1973 in the USSR Cup tournament. My wife and I really wanted our son to become a football player. He was doing well, but the war started, we had to move, and there was no opportunity to train regularly. It was difficult for the guys: many of our bandits went, someone drank himself.
- Success and fame often spoil people. Have you observed manifestations of star fever in Ararat?
- In relation to his own - no, but I began to notice that when he comes home, the son avoids communicating with neighbors, hiding from passers-by: he does not like it when people ask him for an autograph. I scold him: “You have achieved fame thanks to the attention of these people to you, so why are you running from them?” I think this is not a star disease and not pride. Rather, some kind of arrogance: not yet used to public life. Ararat listens to me, because he knows: if it goes bad, I will keep my promise to crush its bones and put it in its place!

Your village was covered construction waste from the Olympic venues. They say that there are constant interruptions in electricity and communications. The guys do not plan to transport you to Moscow?
- In our family it is not customary for a father to eat his son's bread. I am 65, but until recently I worked - first as a civil engineer, then as a driver. Now retired. Ashot and Ararat once helped my wife and I build a house. During the KVEN tours, the guys earned good money and invested everything in construction. This is their home!
- Do they visit often?
- Not how I wanted it to be. I scolded my wife: we had to give birth to another son, so that at least someone would live nearby. Right now we are sitting at home alone, and besides, without light. I'm tired of calling different authorities - no life with this Olympics!

Not a street girl

In the fall of 2007, half of Adler walked at the weddings of the Keshchyan brothers - they played with a difference of two weeks. The elder's marriage turned out to be happy: his wife Karina had already given Ashot two daughters. Ararat's family life lasted less than three years: after the divorce, the actor tries not to remember ex-spouse Irina. Friends of the couple assure that the young people hurried with the wedding: they were completely different, from the common interests only KVN. Irina is an arrogant Muscovite, accustomed to freedom, Ararat is an Armenian brought up in a family with strict morals. It is not surprising that immediately after the celebration, the spouses began to disagree.
“Ararat made a bad choice,” his father says. - A man should marry, not marry his wife! We have adopted this: when a girl comes to the house as a bride, she needs to forget her ambitions and orders. Ira came to us with her charter, began to command - apparently, her parents did not teach her the rules of etiquette. They began to have scandals: Ira wanted to go for a walk, Ararat dreamed of seeing his wife at home.

Did you bless his marriage?
- We had a conversation: I suggested that my son find a bride from our circle. But Ararat soared: “If you like village girls, marry them yourself!” I knew that someday he would regret it, but I said nothing more. So everything turned out not like people do. Now I don’t climb into his life: let him marry whomever he wants. If only it was a clean woman with whom at least one table could sit, and not a street girl.
- There were rumors that actress Yevgenia Sviridova, who played Lisa in the TV series Univer, helped Ararat survive the divorce. Like, on the set they started an affair and Ararat even made an offer.
My son didn't discuss this with me. For us, his divorce was a great shame, - Gevorg Ashotovich sighs. - I heard that he had a girlfriend, but apparently, this time he chose a career. Ararat understands that as soon as he gets married, the doors will begin to close in front of him, because the family takes a lot of time.

Hearing test
Express Gazeta called Evgenia Sviridova to find out who her heart is now occupied with.
- It's hard for me to remember our relationship with Ararat, - the actress sighed. - Yes, we had a beautiful romance, but, unfortunately, it did not come to the wedding. I do not want to go into details, I will say one thing: today my heart is free.

Ararat Keshchyan has long earned the love of viewers with his play in KVN and his role in the TV series Univer, in addition, he hosted an entertainment show on a radio station and was a TV presenter. To achieve success, Ararat had to work hard, but even now he does not intend to stop there, constantly working on himself. The artist also plans to open his own restaurant, where visitors will be treated to various national dishes. Keshchyan's personal life has developed happily, and now his daughter is growing up in his family. The artist's wife manages not only to raise the baby, but also to work in her own agency.

Ararat was born in 1978 in Gagra, Abkhaz ASSR. Many people think that he got his name in honor of the mountain, but it turned out that his father dreamed of his son's football career, so he named the future actor in honor of the Ararat team. His older brother Ashot also grew up in the family, who also chose an acting and directing career. Due to the tense situation in Gagra, the whole family moved to the village, which was located on the very border with Abkhazia. His father worked as a civil engineer, and his mother was a teacher, so she kept her sons under control.

After graduating from school, the young man entered the Polytechnic College in the city of Sochi, where, together with his brother, he became interested in playing KVN. Having achieved considerable victories as part of the Lumumba Grandchildren team, they moved to Moscow and became members of the RUDN Team. The young promising artist was noted, and in 2007 he already took part in entertainment television programs. Keshchyan's film career took place in 2009, when he began acting in the sitcom Univer. The role of the cunning and charming Armenian fell in love with many directors and viewers, thanks to which in his creative career new work began to appear.

Ararat's personal life did not immediately develop as he dreamed about it. His first family appeared in 2007, and with his future wife Irina, who was originally from Moscow, he met thanks to KVN. However, the couple did not find mutual understanding, which is why they broke up three years later. Their friends also noted that they were completely different both in their outlook on life and in their upbringing.

Actor with his first wife Irina

Keshchyan met his future second wife Ekaterina Shepeta thanks to their mutual friend, actor and director Sarik Andreasyan. At that time, the girl studied at the university, intending to become a public relations specialist in the future, and at the same time worked as a PR specialist in various companies. After an unsuccessful first marriage, the artist was disappointed in women and did not even think about starting serious relationship However, when he got to know Katya better, he changed his mind. Soon a romance arose between the young people, and at the beginning of 2013 they had a wedding, which they had to play four times. In 2014, the couple had a daughter, Eva, although the doctors claimed throughout the pregnancy that they would have a boy.

The wife considers Ararat a wonderful father who simply adores his baby. Despite his immense love for his daughter, he is not going to spoil her. Ekaterina, having got into a friendly and big family actor, studied the Armenian language, and also learned how to cook national dishes, which Keshchan really likes. When her daughter grew up a little, she created her own agency, which organizes both weddings and family holidays.

Parents and other relatives of Ararat still live in the village of Nizhnyaya Shilovka, which is located near the border with Abkhazia. His brother Ashot also married in 2007 and is now raising two daughters with his wife.

Irina Keshchyan is known as the first wife of the popular Russian actor Ararat Keschan, who was more remembered by the viewer as the charming Michael from the series "Univer". Despite its attractive appearance, Ararat takes relationships with girls and family seriously.

What is known about Irina?

With the growing popularity of Ararat Keshchyan, the number of questions regarding his personal life and first marriage, which the actor himself reluctantly recalls and talks about, has also increased.

Information about the first spouse popular actor quite a bit, currently she is not a media personality. Irina Keshchyan (photo from the wedding can be seen below) is a tall, slender blonde. She has a pleasant appearance and cheerful character.

The first wife of Ararat Keshchyan, Irina, is a native Muscovite, born on December 21, 1981. She grew up and was brought up in a family that has aristocratic roots. The girl was with her parents only child who was loved and spoiled.

Irina graduated from school No. 1 in Moscow and then continued her education at Moscow University. There she stood out for her bright appearance, good sense of humor and activity. It was because of these qualities that the girl was invited to the local KVN team. In this environment, Irina Keshchyan felt very comfortable, she tried to get into all the performances and numbers in order to show off her intelligence, wit and good acting skills.

A little about Ararat Keshchyan

Ararat Gevorgovich Keshchyan was born in a small resort town Gagra October 19, 1978, a few years later, his family moved to Sochi. In addition to Ararat, the parents have another son - Ashot, who also now often flashes on television screens, and in the past was an active KVN-shchik.

By the way, Ararat became popular precisely thanks to participation in this humorous game, which his older brother helped him get into. At first, Ararat played for the team under the original name "Lumumba's grandchildren", she repeatedly won the Sochi KVN competitions in 2000-2002 and even reached the semifinals of the Northern League. And after a while, a bright participant was invited to the Moscow KVN team called "RUDN Team". In this team, the first glory came to Ararat after the number in which the guy made a parody of Gennady Khazanov.

Meeting your future husband

Irina owes the KVN game not only interesting and stormy student life but also getting to know her husband. Irina and Ararat met in 2007. Then the actor was not so famous, he studied at the university and actively participated in KVN games.

The young people immediately liked each other, they were so passionate that they did not notice anyone around them. It was fun and interesting for Irina and Ararat to spend their time together, especially in nightclubs, big noisy companies and at parties.

The love was so strong that Ararat decided on a serious act - he offered to legalize their relationship.

Not only friends and acquaintances noticed the changes that happened to Ararat, he was all glowing with happiness and flying in the clouds. The parents also saw what was happening to their son, and the father decided to have a serious talk with Ararat. He suspected that Ararat and Irina wanted to get married, and decided to dissuade his son from this (in his opinion) wrong decision.

The fact is that the relatives of the future groom did not like Irina. As you know, Ararat is from an Armenian family, these people have strict family traditions, there are also special requirements for wives, which Irina did not fit. She had an arrogant character and arrogance, she wanted only fun and entertainment from life, and she was not ready for a calm, quiet family life. In addition, immediately after they met, Irina began to impose her own rules on the Ararat family, which Gevorg Keshchyan especially did not like. And the general behavior of the girl testified to the lack of knowledge of etiquette and manners.

However, despite the disapproval of the choice of the bride, Irina Keshchyan and Ararat Keshchyan legalized their relationship in the fall of 2007. As befits the Armenians, the wedding was luxurious and noisy, with a large feast and cheerful music.

family everyday life

After a stormy wedding celebration, the couple began family life, the vision of which was different for the spouses. Ararat, unlike Irina, wanted a calm, balanced family life next to a wise and understanding wife. Ararat's wife did not want to say goodbye to fun and parties, and there was no talk of children. After a short period of time, young people found out for themselves that there was practically nothing in common between them. The only link between the couple was KVN.

Divorce

Contrary to popular belief that opposites attract, young people have not been able to find common interests and reasons to continue the common family life. Ararat Keshchyan and Irina (a photo from their wedding can be found in this article) have been married for less than three years and officially broke up in 2010. According to mutual friends, the couple rushed into marriage, they got married too quickly, not taking into account the nationality and traditions of their families.

After divorce

After parting with his wife, Ararat is completely immersed in work, trying to alleviate the unpleasant feelings after the divorce. Offers rained down on him, the shooting of Univer and new humorous programs continued, in which he took part himself and in the company of his brother Ashot. Possessing an attractive appearance and charm, the actor did not remain alone.

As a result, the choice fell on model Ekaterina Shepeta, the wedding of young people took place in early 2013. Today, Ararat Keshchyan is married for the second time, his daughter is growing up.

The young man does not like to remember the first unsuccessful marital experience, because for himself, and for all members of the Keshchyan family, who cherish and respect family values, this event was a real shame.

As for Irina, after the divorce, she did not show her upset feelings and continued to appear at parties for some time, but then they began to see her less and less at such parties. And now there is practically no information about this girl on the Web. But, according to rumors, she took up her career seriously.

Many star parents they are happy to share details from the life of their children: their Instagram feeds are full of photos of their offspring, they are happy to share their achievements, as well as tips on raising children. However, the spouses Ararat and Ekaterina Keshchyan are not among them. They are long time they hid not only their daughter, showing fans only her arms and legs, but also the name of the baby. However, the couple is still photographing Eva - and that is the name of the girl - exclusively from the back. Right, Katya began to talk a little more about her daughter.

So, Eva, who will be one year old in September, began to walk. The girl moves quite confidently, holding her father or mother by the hand. Despite her age, the baby shows a rather masterful character.

“So small, but she always knows exactly what she wants, she freaks out if something is not the way she needs it, but we do not bend,” Catherine shared.

She also asked about the opinion of subscribers, whether a child is born with character or whether it is formed in the process of socialization. “For example, I have the feeling that every child has its own character already in the stomach,” Keshchyan said.

It's safe to say that Eva loves to play pranks. For example, this morning began with the fact that she broke three-liter jar. In this regard, Katya wondered how to make a girl out of a girl: “Eva Araratovna is getting older and smarter every day and gives out something new. She grows up as a robber and a naughty girl straight, looks into her eyes and does what we do not allow, for example, puts slippers in her mouth and smiles. She will climb everywhere, recently I saw a picture: she climbed onto a small plastic chair, stands on it with one foot, balancing on the front two legs, holding on to a nearby high chair. It was she who wanted to get a rubber pool, in which she likes to hang out so much. Just look away for a second, she will already give out a masterpiece.

This post caused a lively response among Keshchyan's subscribers. They shared funny stories from the life of their children, who play pranks no worse than Eve. Many also asked when the couple would show their daughter's face, but Katya left this question unanswered.

Previously, Katya had already explained that she and her husband did not intend to show the baby on the Internet, but also added that Eva looked like her and her husband. On one of recent photos it can be seen that the girl, like her mother, has blond hair.

Ekaterina and Ararat Keshchyan became parents on September 3, 2014. They found out the sex of the child only after the birth, because the doctors could not exactly determine who the couple would have.

“The wife announced that she was pregnant, in an unusual way- recalls the actor. The surprise was presented in a small box with pregnancy test results. For joy, I wanted to fly, but, as luck would have it, my legs gave way.

At the ultrasound, Catherine and I (the actor's wife. - Approx. Antennas) went together. Initially, the doctors said that it would be a boy. I was already mentally prepared for the fact that my son would appear, I was waiting for him. Therefore, when it turned out that a girl would be born, the brain needed a reboot. Katya decided that I was disappointed about the gender of the unborn child. With tears she asked: “You don’t want a daughter ?!”

I had to convince for a long time that I just need time to realize everything. At the end of the pregnancy, he was already hurrying his wife: “Come on, give birth to a daughter. Stop holding her." Now it’s hard to imagine myself, I could love the boy as much as I love Eve.

Daughter lets dad sleep

I have always had a special weakness for children. A child on the street brings a smile. When I come to visit relatives or friends who have children, I spend the first half an hour with the kids. My brother has two, my cousins ​​have large families. I nursed all my nephews. Therefore, the experience has already been. I did not read special literature for future parents, did not attend courses. I am not fond of innovations, books, psychologists. I think, with rare exceptions, all this is garbage.

I can’t say that the pregnancy had a strong effect on Katya’s character. Everything went according to the rules. Periodically there were mood swings. For example, due to weather changes. Globally emotional background not injured. In terms of his wife's health, everything went smoothly, pah-pah-pah.

We went to the hospital together, but I was waiting outside the generic door. Watching the process, breathing together, pushing is not for me. At first I heard only the cry of my wife, then the voice of another woman, my daughter, was added to it. After some time, they allowed me to enter and look at Eve. He was, of course, happy, but calm.

I was admitted to the first bath only as an observer. Mother-in-law and wife were operating in the bathroom. And now the wife in most cases copes on her own. Although I can fulfill any duties if Katya does not have time. There is no need to force, I do it with pleasure and without problems. Our daughter is calm. No tantrums. She cried when her teeth were cut (now we already have 10 of them), but her mother quickly managed to calm her down. Yevochka, well done, gives dad a good night's sleep.

The choice of a name for the child was at the mercy of his wife. First, Katya suggested naming her daughter Victoria, as her close friend. But to be honest, I didn't really like the idea. He asked me to think more. When “Eve” sounded, he immediately agreed. Both me and my wife were satisfied with the name. Now I call my daughter “Eva”, and Katya affectionately: “bead”. The chosen name is to my daughter's liking. Already trying with might and main to say: "Ava-ava."

The first word is more valuable than the second

During my wife's pregnancy, we lived far from our apartment, closer to film set. And when they moved into their own apartment, Eva had a legal lair. Everything that is interesting to her, and she is interested in everything, the daughter drags to her and hides in the cracks. The hose from the nozzle sucker has completely sunk into oblivion. Half the room is occupied by a huge Teddy bear. And under his paws and booty you can find the missing items in the house. What is not found there! The daughter went to her grandfather, she is strong, so she can easily move even heavy things. So far, Eve's room has not been secured in any way, except that the corners of the glass dressing table under the TV were covered with silicone pads. Otherwise, everything is the same as in other rooms. I think that a child should learn by trial and error that running around the house and climbing where it shouldn't be can be painful and dangerous.

At 9 months, Eva walked, at 10 she ran confidently. The doctors said it was too early, it could hurt the spine. And what should I do if a person himself decided at this age to get up and go? So her body is ready. She is active. But not talkative. "Dad" was her first word. And for a long time she only said it. As soon as she saw me on TV, she would point her finger at the screen and say “pa-pa”. Mom was very worried. But recently, she also received her mention from the lips of her daughter. Till vocabulary Eva is limited to her name, "dad" and "mother". He does not want to stoop to our level and waste energy on words. An index finger and a few sounds are enough for her to show what she needs. We are not in a hurry. When the queen deigns, then she will speak.

I don't let my daughter be naughty

Katya quickly got out of the decree and is now actively working. I don't mind, let him do what he likes. It only makes it easier on your own. After all, you can go crazy from sitting in four walls around the clock. And with the upbringing of Eva, our nanny, Aunt Alevtina, helps us a lot. She is from Ukraine. Found quickly mutual language with daughter. In addition to looking after Eva, playing with her, the nanny is closely involved in the development of the child. Maybe that's why our daughter is smart.

There was never any dispute with the parents about the upbringing of their daughter. Despite all their love for their granddaughter, their desire to see her as often as possible, mothers understand that the last word in any case will remain with us. They can only sometimes direct their advice and recommendations. And we decide everything ourselves.

When it came time to cut Eva's hair, a friend said that it was necessary to take her daughter to the salon, where she would be distracted from the process by games. Allegedly, the child will not have stress. What kind of stress? It's a common procedure! Our parents somehow raised us, raised us without all these salons. And it turned out they were much better than the next generations. Same story with gadgets. I am categorically opposed to occupying a child with smartphones. You can give to play, but dosed. And for the most part, you need to entertain yourself, so that even the desire to delve into the phone does not arise. The child should run in the park, ride a bike, and not spend all the time in front of the monitor.

Eva's favorite toys are daddy's football balls"Manchester United". With pleasure kicks them all over the apartment. Likes to climb plastic pipe, makes me do it and is surprised when dad, with his dimensions, gets stuck in this pipe. She also likes colorful books. Can sit with them for a long time, studying the pictures. Gets along well with kids, contact girl. True, he constantly tries to take toys from other children. But then she returns. - Eva believes that Katya does not know how to clean the house. And happy to fix it. Things are incorrectly folded, they should be scattered on the floor. Mom's and dad's shoes need to lie mixed up, and not separately. It is desirable that dad's left shoe is next to mom's right boot. And we agree with this order, so it should be so.

Almost everything causes my daughter positive emotions. She loves to dance. As soon as he hears the music, he begins to jerk his legs and arms. She howls to her mother when she sings a lullaby to her. But she doesn't like being photographed. As soon as you point the camera at her, she stops smiling and playing.

With the advent of his daughter, he changed completely. I feel an irresistible desire after work to go home as soon as possible, to see Evochka before going to bed. Most I spend my free time with my child. I constantly lisp until I start to get impudent. True, only married friends with children understand me. Since recently I have developed superpowers. I became more attentive, concentration, speed and coordination increased significantly. I can teleport in a second if a person is hanging off the couch. On the other hand, I can get lost in a second. If she hugs me, that's it, let the whole world wait!
