Margarita Simonian expresses no fear of mortality
In a heartfelt and revealing interview, Russian media executive Margarita Simonyan discussed her decision to share her personal health struggles with the world. The title of the interview, "When Trouble Comes - Open the Gates," perfectly encapsulated the raw emotion and candour that Simonyan brought to the conversation.
The interview was conducted, though the specific date remains undisclosed. The focus of the discussion, however, was not on Simonyan, but on her husband, Tigran Keosayan, a renowned Russian-Armenian film director and actor.
Tigran Keosayan, born on January 4, 1966, has been a significant figure in the Russian film industry for many years. He has been married to Simonyan since March 2022, and the couple shares three beautiful children. However, tragedy struck the family in December 2024 when Keosayan suddenly lost consciousness and went into a coma following a critical medical emergency involving cardiac arrest and clinical death.
Despite the heroic efforts of the medical team, no updated information about Keosayan's condition was provided in the interview. Simonyan, while visibly emotional, chose to focus on her husband's life and achievements rather than his current status.
Keosayan, prior to his illness, had suffered heart attacks in 2008 and 2010. These health issues, while difficult, did not deter him from his passion for filmmaking. His work continues to be admired and respected in the industry.
In the interview, Simonyan explained her reasons for choosing to reveal her illness, stating that she believes in the power of transparency and honesty, especially during challenging times. Her decision serves as a reminder to us all about the importance of open communication and the strength that can be found in sharing our struggles.
As we continue to hope and pray for Keosayan's recovery, we are inspired by the resilience and courage shown by both Simonyan and her family during this difficult time. Their story serves as a testament to the power of love, family, and the human spirit.
