Shahrizoda make an appearance on ‘Kichkina tanaffus’

I have been a little behind on updating the site! But I thought I would post a couple of things. Shahrizoda appeared on an Uzbek TV show (not sure if it’s only on YouTube or shown on Uzbek TV?) called ‘Kichkina tanaffus’ (‘Small Recess’ – like a break at school). I believe the show involves guests answering questions like they are back in school: maths, history, geography etc. And then they are asked to put their hands into a box and feel what’s inside, and guess correctly before the time runs out! Very amusing viewing, especially when the girls are frightened of less sinister objects 😉

The current line-up of Shahrizoda (Gulnoza, Risolat and Shahnoza Y) appears alongside singer Gulasal Abdullayeva. Unfortunately I do not have English subtitles or a translation. If anybody wants to provide one, please be my guest.

Enjoy!

Former Shahrizoda member Aziza is married!

Aziza and Ulug'bek on their wedding day

When doing some research on the girls a while back, I inadvertently discovered that former Shahrizoda member Aziza was married!

23-aprel kuni aktyor Ulug‘bek Qodirov “Venetsiya” restoranida 6 yildan buyon ko‘ngil qo‘ygan sevgilisi “Shahrizoda” guruhi sobiq xonandasi Azizaxonga uylandi.

Rough English translation: On the 23rd of April (2013) at “Venice” restaurant, actor Ulug’bek Qodirov married his sweetheart, Aziza, former member of the group Shahrizoda.

This got me really excited. I then did some more digging and found a couple of photos of the pair. It was definitely one of our original Shahrizoda members, just all grown up! Not only did we now have her real name (no last name as yet), but her husband starred in the film Panoh with other former member Muborak!

There is even a video of the wedding. For some reason, a lot of Uzbek weddings of famous actors or actresses are filmed and then put on YouTube. Most of the time, it’s just showing people dancing. Singer Shohruhxon is a special guest (and lip-syncing, as Uzbek performers often do!). At 10 minutes and 40 seconds into the video you can spot Shahnoza dancing, and another girl who has been known to perform as part of the group (see: video for ‘Amira’).

I believe this is Ulug’bek’s second marriage, his first being in 2012 which ended months later.

Enjoy! We wish them every happiness, tabriklaymiz!
