— I never dreamed of becoming an actress. Because since childhood I dreamed of becoming a lawyer or diplomat. To study in this field, you need to study a lot and have theoretical knowledge. I came to Tashkent to study and was lucky and was accepted as a student. When I was in my first year, my classmates and I went to the Alisher Navoi Opera and Ballet Theater. There I accidentally met Zulfiqar Musokov, and he invited me to a casting. I went to the casting at Uzbekfilm with interest. But I was not approved for the role. I was very offended by the words "I don't look like Uzbek girls." I tried to participate in other castings to prove that I was not inferior to other girls, says actress Shahzoda Matchonova.

— It was not difficult for me to play the role of Komila. Maybe because the director is a woman, we understood each other. Some scenes of the film were shot in Moscow. After that, she was invited to the film “The Thief of My Heart”. It was after this film that the audience recognized her more. I really like the events of the film, as well as my costumes there. Every time I see it, I feel that I was inexperienced in my first role, says the actress.
“Family is a closed area”
