The actress ended up in hospital in the 22nd week of pregnancy

The 28-year-old actress Aziza Bekmanova, wife of 'The Boy's Word' star Ruzil Minekayev, told her followers on her personal blog about serious health problems. According to her, severe back pain left her practically immobile for two days, and she lost the ability to walk on her own — she could only move around with her husband's help. Eventually her husband took her to a clinic, where an MRI was ordered to determine the cause of the pain, the outlet Life.ru reported.

What the examinations showed

The examination revealed inflammation of the intervertebral joints and two hernias in the sacral spine. Bekmanova is currently in the 22nd week of pregnancy. She described her condition emotionally: 'I lay motionless for two days. Honestly, it's a madhouse, I don't know how to get through all this anymore… In moments like these you realize you don't take care of yourself at all, and how amazing it is when you're healthy.' At the hospital she was moved around on a gurney, and Minekayev, according to her, tried to cheer her up with jokes. Earlier, the actress had also complained of severe swelling and weakness, which made it difficult for her to go for walks.

Context: the family is expecting a second child

In mid-October the couple held an unusual gender party outdoors — without balloons, fireworks or colored smoke: a family friend was supposed to show a daisy if a girl was born, or pliers if it was a boy. It turned out the couple are expecting their second son. Ruzil Minekayev and Aziza Bekmanova met while studying at the Kazan Theatre School and married in 2020; they are currently raising their son Remil.
