Svetlana Bondarchuk, a household name, shares a family bond with director Fedor Bondarchuk through their two children - older son Sergei and younger daughter, Varvara. In the public eye less often than her brother, Varvara's life journey is one of triumph in the face of adversity. A few years ago, Svetlana disclosed her daughter's challenging diagnoses of cerebral palsy and autism. Recent comments by the famed matriarch shed more light on the 26-year-old's life.
Svetlana Bondarchuk shared insights about her daughter, Varvara, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy during her childhood, and who also lives with autism.
Curious fans frequently ask about Varvara's whereabouts and the reason behind Svetlana's reticence to discuss her. Bondarchuk emphasizes that she prefers to shield her child from public glare, stating, "If our decision is to keep it private and unseen, then that's our best choice. You should respect our privacy because this child will always be a part of our lives."
Initially, Bondarchuk discovered her daughter's severe health issues after a year of her birth. "Varvara was born with peculiarities, but unfortunately, the diagnosis of cerebral palsy came later." she explained.
Contrary to speculation, Varvara never resided in institutions or overseas. "Our home is where our child lives. Parents make varying choices for their special children. Varvara lives with us in comfort, surrounded by family, nannies, her brother, nieces, and love," Bondarchuk clarified.
Varvara Bondarchuk, the apple of her family's eye, is loved and cared for.
"This is a challenging time, but it's a test given to you for a reason. Your husband, he's a wealthy and respected figure. He's established a charitable foundation to help others like us. Of course, it's hard. For any family, welcoming a new child can be stressful, and for us, there's an added layer of stress," revealed Svetlana.
