Most fans have no idea.
Many artists take pseudonyms for themselves because their real names are too common or rather dissonant. The surname in the credits for films and in the passport is also different for the star of the film “Bless the Woman” Svetlana Khodchenkova.
While studying at the Shchukin Theater School, the actress met Vladimir Yaglych. Feelings flared up between fellow students. Soon, on the set of the series “My Prechistenka,” the future stars began a whirlwind romance. They became spouses not only on screen, but also in life.
Khodchenkova took her husband’s surname and left her own as a pseudonym.
Alas, in 2011 the beautiful couple broke up. It was rumored that Yaglych was jealous of his more successful wife and forbade her to act in films. After the divorce, the artist did not bother with documents and remained with the surname of her ex-lover.
