Choosing an Exam Over Love Cost an Actress Her Partner
When Career and Romance Collide
According to РБК-Україна — Lite: Ukrainian stage and screen actress Yuliia Buinovska has opened up about a pivotal moment in her past when she had to make a difficult choice between her personal life and her profession. She decided to take a stage speech exam, a decision she describes as a turning point. After that choice, her partner was unfaithful, yet today Buinovska believes she made the right call.
Reflections on a Past Relationship
Looking back, the actress recalled a time when she was in a happy relationship:
“A long time ago, I was in a fairly happy relationship: we lived together, and everything was good. But one fine day, I was faced with a choice: stay with this person in a certain place or go pursue my profession.” - Yuliia Buinovska
The very next day after making her decision, Buinovska had her stage speech exam. As she explained, “I chose the exam because I thought that person and I would be together for a very long time and he would forgive me. But that same evening, he cheated on me.”
Though it initially seemed like a mistake, over time Buinovska came to realize she had made the right choice: “It was my best decision, though that wisdom didn’t come right away, believe me. Oh, how not right away. But now I understand: it was the best decision, one I then considered completely wrong and spent half my life blaming myself for. Yet everything turned out so well that it never could have worked out with that person.”
Buinovska is best known for her role as designer Dasha in the series 'Bubynochok na shchastia' (Little House of Happiness). She has also appeared in other popular projects, such as:
