Renowned Kazakh director and actor Nurtas Adambay has addressed widespread speculation about his relocation to the United States, issuing a public statement to his fellow citizens.

The filmmaker, widely recognized for his popular character "Kelinshe Sabina," responded to the online discussions surrounding his move.

Adambay's Statement

In his message, Adambay apologized for any negative sentiments he may have expressed towards others, admitting to acting out of anger and frustration. He referred to himself as a "fool" for judging and wishing ill upon others.

"I apologize to all of you who left negative comments. I apologize for being angry, frustrated, thinking badly, and wishing bad things upon you. This was due to my foolishness. I am a fool who judges others and thinks badly of them. Thank you for showing me this and for helping me to criticize others, look for their flaws, gossip, not rejoice in others' successes, and feel pleasure when someone suffers, and be envious of others!" Adambay wrote.

The Catalyst for the Statement

The immediate cause for Adambay's statement appears to be a video circulating online from an English language school. In the video, Adambay confirmed his move to the USA.

This revelation sparked a lively and varied debate among Kazakhstani social media users. The discussion gained traction because, in recent years, the director had become known for his strong stance on defending traditional values. He notably opposed the release of Hollywood films, criticized the animated movie "Lightyear," and voiced objections to the "Barbie" film.

Public Reaction

Responses on social media were mixed. While some users offered support and wished Adambay well, others actively discussed his past viewpoints and comments regarding Western culture.

Comments ranged from "It seems Nurtas Adambay has decided to solve the issue at a new level," and "We await new initiatives from the scene of events," to more speculative remarks like "He probably wanted to move to another country, maybe he bought the wrong ticket, it happens," and "Was he against the country? Perhaps Nurtas went to study?" Some users humorously anticipated "We are waiting for the American version of Kelinshe Sabina," while others found inspiration, writing, "Nurtas, it suits you to be a writer! You inspire me!"

Nurtas Adambayev is a well-known showman, actor, director, screenwriter, and producer. He was part of the KVN Higher League team "Astana.KZ" and is recognized for his numerous roles in Kazakhstani shows like "KZландия" and "Наша KZаша." He has directed popular films such as "Qudalar," "Äkim," and "Kelinshe Sabina."
