Alisher Uzoqov is 42 years old: The actor's "jailbreak", about his brother and the armony found after his father's death

On August 25, actor Alisher Uzoqov turned 42. Although he played his debut role as a child, he faced difficult life trials at the peak of his popularity. The personal life of the actor, who found his unknown brother after the death of his father and experienced deep depression, has always been out of the public eye. In connection with the actor's birthday, we will provide information about his creative path.

**Alisher Uzoqov's grandfather was a People's Commissar of Uzbekistan**

Alisher Uzoqov was born on August 25, 1984 in the family of actors Shohida and Muhammadjon Uzoqov. He is the grandson of People's Commissar of Uzbekistan Ma'murjon Uzoqov. Ma'murjon Uzoqov was a famous artist of his time and the author of many songs that entered the gold fund. Songs he performed such as "Mustahzod", "Sayding qoyaber, sayyod", "Parvo eti ket" and "Ayrilmasin" have not lost their fans to this day.

The actor's father, Muhammadjon Uzoqov, was also a famous actor of his time. Before marrying actress Shohida Uzoqova, he had a family and a son named Sarvar. Due to family disagreements, Muhammadjon Uzoqov divorced his first wife and later married Shohida Uzoqova. From this marriage, Alisher Uzoqov was born.

**Alisher Uzoqov: "They told my mother that I would never become an actor"**

Despite Alisher Uzoqov being a representative of a family of artists, his mother Shohida Uzoqova was told, "Your son will never become a drama actor." This statement had a strong impact on the future actor.

— It is difficult for today's youth to become actors. Because in the year I graduated, four actors graduated from our course. I think that now these numbers must be much higher. But there is no result. When I went to apply to the Uzbek State Institute of Arts and Culture, the inspector sitting at the door asked my name. When I said Alisher, he thought for a while and looked at my mother and advised, "Shohida, you probably won't become an actor from this, it's better for him to apply to the puppet theater acting department," says Alisher Uzoqov.

**He made his first role as a child**

Many people are probably interested in when Alisher Uzoqov entered the world of cinema. According to information, he played his first role in the film "Kunda" in 1984. Although the child Alisher Uzoqov did not feel the camera's presence in it, it went down in history as his debut role. After that, in 2001, he starred in the film "Ostona" directed by Hilol Nasimov. This role also played an important role in the formation of the young artist.

**An actor who caught the eye of Russian filmmakers**

Alisher Uzoqov played a role in the short film "Velikan" filmed by Russian filmmakers in 2003. After that, he again collaborated with Russian filmmakers and played one of the main characters in the TV series "Zastava". His performance in this series also brought the actor success abroad. The TV series "Zastava" tells the story of the courage of soldiers who risked their lives to stop drug trafficking, and those who became part of the life of protecting the borders of their homeland. After this film, the actor began to receive offers from many Uzbek directors.

**Brother found after father's death**

Actor and presenter Alisher Uzoqov has a brother who looks very similar to him. Sarvar Uzoqov is four years older than Alisher and is currently engaged in business.

— Until my father's death, I used to think that I was his only son and that I looked a lot like him. After his death, I heard that my father had a son named Sarvar from his first marriage. When I first met my brother, I realized that he looked more like my father than I did. Not only in appearance, but also in character. My brother has been engaged in business for several years. My brother and I are very similar. People who know us closely say that we look alike, — says actor Alisher Uzoqov.

**About Alisher Uzoqov slapping an audience member**

While performing in the theater, Alisher Uzoqov slapped an uncultured audience member. This incident shocked not only the audience, but also the actor's colleagues.

— The "Diydor" theater studio is small, and the actor and the audience are very close. During a serious performance, a spectator sitting in the front row was laughing. I spoke louder to warn him. But he continued to laugh. Since his actions were having a bad effect, I went up to him and involuntarily slapped him. But the most interesting thing happened backstage. My partner Akbarkhodja told our other colleagues, "Alisher has gone crazy. He hit the spectator sitting in the front row."

**About the actor's wife and children**

The actor married a girl named Mohinur in 2011. The actor's wedding was attended by famous football player Odil Ahmedov. They currently have two children: a son and a daughter. The actor's wife, Mohinur Uzoqova, works as a speech therapist at a preschool educational institution.

**Alisher Uzoqov on being banned and what caused it**

Actor Alisher Uzoqov told the Chotki TV YouTube channel that he was banned for several years in 2012, and that the ban turned him into a completely different person.

— I think I must have been in everyone's eyes when I received not one, but two M&TVAs in 2012. It was not a problem for the people who banned me to find me at that time. "Alisher, you did this, this was your mistake," he says, and I kiss his hand and say thank you. You're telling me my mistake, tomorrow I won't do this, I'm still young, right?! Our religion also has a way of pointing out mistakes and shortcomings.

I always say it, and many people get offended. I tell my loved ones directly about my shortcomings, but they don't tell me. I say thank you, I say where have you been all these years. If I made a mistake, I need to know so that I don't repeat that mistake tomorrow. I don't want to repeat it again, because everyone makes mistakes," says Alisher Uzoqov.

**After being banned, no one was around and he couldn't find money for 20,000 soums worth of medicine**

In a 2019 interview, the actor talked about how after being banned, no one was around and how his attitude towards his profession changed after that.

— Depression happens, to go through so much hardship without depression, a person has to be a fool, have a face and a heart made of donkey skin. After the ban, my eyes opened a lot, my attitude towards my work changed. I have changed completely. I wouldn't wish what I went through on my enemy. Because it's very difficult for a creative person who works only in the film industry to just sit at home for 3.5 years. I don't know the reason for the "ban". No one told me the reason for it, what it was. At that time, no one was around me, no one knocked on my door. That's why now, when someone comes and says something nice, I know why they're saying it like that. After that, my attitude towards my work and the industry changed.

At that time, that medicine cost 20,000 soums. I didn't even have money to buy that medicine. Then I bought "Naftizin" for 2-3,000 soums and started using it. When they came to my house, knocked on my door and said they would give me 400, 500, 800 dollars for a wedding, I didn't go out. I wasn't ungrateful. "It had to be such a challenge, so I endured it," the actor said.

**Founder of popular projects and founder of many stars**

The projects founded by Alisher Uzoqov have led to the creation of many new stars. This project has brought the talent of singers such as Yorqinkhodja Umarov, Afruza, and Gaybulla Tursunov to a new level, who now have millions of fans. Later, the project "The Cover Up Kids", which discovered many young talents, also found its fans.

**Why did Alisher Uzoqov leave art?**

Actor Alisher Uzoqov expressed his attitude to the weiners who are taking the place of art and those who accuse him of envy.

— I completely broke away from cinema. There are many reasons for this. In the last 10 years, not a single good script has come to my hands. Unfortunately, the theater is working, films are being shot. But none of them are being seen by the audience No. It's stuck in the "did it happen" style. I don't want them to think, "He's criticizing me for not acting in movies." Even if I or such-and-such an actor were to act, there wouldn't be any movies like before. That is, directors have a lot of problems, even with actors. The first one is related to the script, the second one is related to financial problems, — says the actor.

**On turning down the role in the film "Mendirman Jaloliddin"**

Alisher Uzoqov said that he doesn't regret not acting in "Mendirman Jaloliddin" and that he couldn't pass the casting for many films after that.

— I've talked a lot about why I left the set of the series "Mendirman Jaloliddin". Because the director didn't treat the Uzbek actor like an actor. He said, "This role is for you and you'll be in every episode of the series." But for me, it's not the size of the role, It was important how important he was in that series. I left because I didn’t like the attitude towards the Uzbek actor there, but also towards the nation. I am such a person by nature, I will leave whether I like it or not. After returning, I hesitated a little, thinking that maybe I had made the wrong conclusion. But soon I realized that my decision was right. After that, I auditioned for three good films. One of them was “Ilhaq”. We have worked with Jahongir Ahmedov before, we understand each other well. But he didn’t get the role in his film. I respect his decision too. And my subsequent films that didn’t pass the audition have not yet been released, — says the actor.

**“I accept criticism depending on who said it”**

— If the criticism is justified, I accept it. Because we have been working in this field for a long time, to a greater or lesser extent. Whose opinion is justified, and whose criticism inappropriate, we can distinguish.

But now everyone has a microphone in their hands, everyone has the opportunity to express their opinion. Every journalist does interviews, podcasts. For this, they have cameras and microphones. Unfortunately, everyone has the right to express their opinion.

Previously, the owner of a certain field studied knowledge in his field from scratch. For example, ordinary people did not write articles, did not express their opinions. But now everyone has the opportunity to express their opinion on social networks. This situation cannot be stopped, but it can be fought, - he says.

**“There was a hard test in my life”**

In one of his recent interviews, the actor told about a hard test in his life and how he overcame it.

— A month ago, when I was going through a hard test, there was such a situation: when I was tired on a trip abroad, a compatriot came up to me and asked me how I was doing asked. He was a young man from Samarkand. He was with his family, and then he sent his family away and took care of me alone. Lying there, I thought that maybe this was the real reward. Because that young man talked a lot about how he grew up watching the films I starred in, how he loved them and watched my work.

—I used to not accept such situations, such things said about me correctly. Now I try to accept them as correctly as possible. Because I think about it from the perspective of that person. Let's say I can be in different situations. Someone comes to you and says, "Let's take a picture" or wants to talk. Those people also come to you because they love you. Our fellow countryman from Samarkand also said that he respects me. At that time, I said to myself, "Alisher, maybe this is what you have been waiting for all these years, maybe this is the most important thing." Because that person was a great help in my time of difficulty gave me the opportunity to get out of that situation. I also need the recognition of my fans, - says actor and director Alisher Uzoqov.

**About the actor's only dream**

— I grew up very quickly due to fatherlessness. I was 20 years old when my father died. Since I was on a trip at the time, I could not follow him to his final destination. At that time, technology was not as developed as it is today - there was no way to quickly communicate by phone. Therefore, it was difficult for them to quickly convey this news to me. When I contacted my family, I found out about it, but I could not get there in time. This is my only dream in life, I have no other dream, - says the actor.
