There are so many rumors about this energetic and temperamental woman that it is sometimes impossible to determine where the truth is and where is speculation. But one thing is for sure – one can only envy this woman’s perseverance and determination! On the occasion of the star's birthday, we decided to remember the most Interesting Facts from her biography.
Tinatin Givievna Kandelaki born in Tbilisi in the family of an economist Givi Kandelaki and a narcologist Elvira Alahverdova. Tina's mother is half Armenian and Turkish.
Tina could have become a doctor. She studied plastic cosmetology and only with the help of her journalist friend transferred to the faculty of journalism in her hometown. Georgia. And in 2008, Tina graduated from the Faculty of International Relations RSUH.
On Russian television, Tina gained popularity largely due to her ability to speak at breakneck speed. The presenter has repeatedly become the hero of parody programs. According to her, she has been accustomed to speaking quickly since childhood. So the girl wanted to overcome her southern accent.
Tina is a retrained left-hander.
The TV presenter has a tattoo. And not even alone! In 2006, Tina was the victim of a car accident that happened in Nice. At the site of the wound on her left hand, the TV presenter got a tattoo, which represents one of the signs of the Japanese teaching of Reiki, symbolizing strength and energy. And on her left thigh there is a second tattoo - the Chinese character for “mother”.
Just six years ago Tina Kandelaki and (34) were best friends(and didn’t hesitate to kiss at the magazine’s awards show GQ), but now they avoid each other's company.
Tina leads healthy image life. She is involved in fitness, taekwondo, boxing and other sports. The TV presenter claims that constant training is the key to her Have a good mood and performance.
In 2010, the TV presenter opened a Georgian restaurant in Moscow entitled "Tinatin", and all the recipes for the dishes on the menu were compiled by Tina’s mother.
The TV presenter loves natural makeup, and on days free from filming, she practically does not wear makeup. In her cosmetic bag you can only find mascara, lipstick or lip gloss. And she begins and ends the day with thorough cleansing and moisturizing of the skin.
Tina has repeatedly boasted about her special skin structure, which even plastic surgeons admire. According to the TV presenter, her smooth forehead has never seen Botox injections. However, the star nevertheless somewhat transformed her own appearance - in particular, she changed the shape and increased the volume of her lips.
Her main hobby is reading. Tina has read so many books that it is very difficult for her to single out one favorite.
Tina admires these strong women, like or Margaret Thatcher(1925-2013). She also positions herself as a strong personality.
The TV presenter closely monitors her figure and appearance. Every day she drinks about 1.5 liters of liquid and limits her consumption of salt, sugar and flour products. The presenter does not eat black or white bread.
In 2009, Tina became a member Public Chamber at the invitation of the ex-president RF Dmitry Medvedev(50). She is responsible for organizing and conducting a series of projects with the participation of prominent political figures and major businessmen.
The interview of the most charming Georgian on Russian television, Tina Kandelaki, to the Russian Pioneer magazine shocked even readers who were accustomed to everything with its frankness. Not everyone admits that they lost their virginity with a militant of a criminal group and even a heroin addict. All the more impressive is the subsequent series of gentlemen of the Caucasian beauty, some of whom occupy honorable places in the ratings of leading businessmen in Russia.
Creative Brovko
And even now on the personal front, everything is fine with Tina - having reached the age of Jesus Christ, the presenter took a lover who was suitable for her... no, not yet as a son, but as a much younger brother. The lucky one was the former producer of the O2TV youth channel and owner of the PR company “Apostol” Vasily Brovko, who was barely 21 years old. Vasily is not as famous as some of Tina’s previous men, but he is constantly bursting with ideas. It is expected that some of them will significantly increase the popularity of Kandelaki, for whom a model appearance and the ability to fire words at the speed of a machine gun are not enough.
The first results of Brovko’s work are already evident. Kandelaki’s recently registered account is being promoted very actively, and the network program “Unreal Politics” has achieved even greater success. The popularity of the talk show, where Tina and Kommersant columnist Andrei Kolesnikov talk about political topics with characters completely distant from them, such as rocker Igor Sukachev and supplier of elite oligarchic mistresses Pyotr Listerman, is growing by leaps and bounds, and the number of views is approaching 5 million.
Television people became interested in the project, and after intense negotiations with several federal channels, “Unreal Politics” was added to REN TV. So, from March 17, those who want to find out whether Boris Moiseev likes Barack Obama and whether the Tatu group dreams of reviving the Soviet Union, watch Tina and Andrey on his frequencies.
It is obvious that such a creative young man as Vasya is extremely useful to Tina, even if he does not have the opportunity to buy her apartments, yachts and luxury cars. Well, Kandelaki has enough other lovers to satisfy her material needs.
Generous Kerimov
The richest of them, without a doubt, can be called the owner of the Nafta-Moscow group, Suleiman Kerimov. He is not only a famous playboy, but also a dollar billionaire, not sparing money on numerous girlfriends. For example, Kerimov gave the singer Natalya Vetlitskaya an entire plane, simultaneously sponsoring her return to the stage and television screen. All the new clips of the seemingly long-forgotten Vetlitskaya that unexpectedly filled the airwaves were paid for by Kerimov. They cannot complain about the stinginess of the oligarch and his other passions. The creative successes of the ballerina Anastasia Volochkova and the daughter of the popularly beloved “Ostap Bender” - Archil Gomiashvili, fashion designer Ekaterina Gomiashvili were financed from the bottomless money of the Dagestan billionaire.
For Kandelaki, the affair with Kerimov turned into a flurry of awards. At the end of 2005, they were seen together for the first time, and the following year Tina became the happy owner of “TEFI” from the Academy of Russian Television. (Her program “The Smartest” received the first “TEFI” in 2004, when the presenter attracted the attention of an elderly, but still not indifferent female beauty President of the TV Academy Vladimir Pozner).
Almost simultaneously, the Artifact agency and the music editors of Channel One awarded Kandelaki the Astra Award as “the most stylish TV presenter,” and Glamor magazine presented her with an award in the Form and Content category.
This waterfall of awards was interrupted in an unexpected and sad way. While vacationing in Nice, Kerimov and Kandelaki indulged in caresses right behind the wheel of a Ferrari Enzo on November 25, 2006 (only 399 cars were produced, € 675,000 each). An exclusive car flew downhill and caught fire, Kerimov received burns on 70% of his body and was treated for a long time, but his beloved escaped with minor injuries. For some time, Tina hid the incident, justifying her absence from the air by an unexpected illness with mumps and categorically denied that she was traveling in the same car with Kerimov. But the truth still came out.
After this, something went wrong in the relationships of the accident victims. Although Tina's official husband is the owner of an elite medical center“ASCON” Andrei Kondrakhin supported his wife’s lies, and Kerimov’s other half, Firuza, long ago gave up on Suleiman’s playboyism, they soon stopped dating, and last year Kandelaki didn’t even come to Kerimov’s birthday party. This time, he excused himself by suddenly catching the flu.
Glamorous Borodin
A holy place is never empty, and the owner of Nafta-Moscow was replaced by the president of the Bank of Moscow and the chairman of the board of directors of the investment company Troika Dialog, Andrei Borodin. This businessman, of course, is not as rich as Kerimov, but he is quite wealthy, sexy and, most importantly, outwardly glamorous. According to Profile magazine, the financier ranks 10th in the list of the most influential bankers in Russia, and after the divorce that followed more than five years ago and episodic affairs with several models, his heart turned out to be free.
Borodin seriously fell in love with Kandelaki. So it is not surprising that her status, thanks to her new passion, jumped once again - from a simple host of the “The Smartest” show, she turned into its producer, for which funds were allocated to the “OK Production” company created specifically for this show. Moreover, work with television academics has resumed, and unless someone of Roman Abramovich’s caliber unexpectedly comes into play, we can assume that the next “TEFI” is in Tina’s bra...
Could Kandelaki have dreamed of such success at the end of the hungry 1990s, when she was just starting to work on Russian television and was looked after by the actor Stanislav Sadalsky, who, although he had extensive acquaintances, was not at all rich and not influential?
Chipped Vakhtang
And what about the very first partner who deprived the girl of her virginity in 1993 on the bed of his Tbilisi room? According to Kandelaki, young man His name was Vakhtang, he was a militant of the paramilitary brigade of criminals “Mkhedrioni”, which was headed by politician and thief in law Jaba Ioseliani, who overthrew the first President of Georgia Zviad Gamsakhurdia. Tina Vakhtang was attracted to the bandit by her tuned Zhiguli car and amazing resemblance to American film actor Charlie Sheen.
Then the people of Jaba were in power, and they were paid by many; Vakhtang, by the standards of now poor, but then extremely poor Georgia, looked wealthy and generous. However, when she saw the young man, Tina’s mother was horrified. One of the best narcologists in Tbilisi, with a trained eye, saw a heroin addict in her daughter’s admirer and strictly forbade her to communicate with him.
The daughter rebelled, and subsequently more than once secretly gave herself to her lover in a small room in his parents’ living area. But then I became convinced that my mother was right, so after several attempts to get Vakhtang off the needle, separation became inevitable. Having replaced the drug-addicted militant with several other, no less hot Georgian guys, having assessed the unsightly everyday prospects based on the results of the novels and realizing that she had nothing more to catch in her homeland, Tina left for Moscow.
Patient Kondrakhin
The question arises: how does the legal husband tolerate all these adventures? Tina, by all accounts, was extremely lucky with Andrei Kondrakhin. And not only because a wealthy medical businessman sponsored all the whims of his initially poor, beautiful wife. Distinguished by exceptional tolerance in intimate matters, he does not consider the process to be treason, which in an interview with the newspaper “Seven Days” he himself described as "everyday sex". Hence the complicity in lying about the sudden mumps when Tina got into a car accident with Kerimov.
On the other hand, Kondrakhin’s behavior, which is so uncharacteristic of cuckolds, may also be caused by gratitude to Kerimov after support in a conflict with criminal lawyer Dmitry Yakubovsky. Three months before the incident in Nice, Yakubovsky and his security guard, having found fault with the fact that Andrei parked the car “wrongly”, beat up him at the exit from the elite holiday village "Gorki-8".
At the Sklifosovsky Institute, the victim was diagnosed with a concussion and damage to the right eye, but Yakubovsky’s influence made the prospects of the lawsuit filed by Kondrakhin doubtful. Therefore, everyone was very surprised when the authoritative hooligan himself offered peace and paid the beaten man $100 thousand. If the version that Yakubovsky did this at the urgent request of Kerimov’s Dagestanis is true, then the reason for Andrei’s complacent attitude towards adultery easily explainable.
