Renowned Kazakh television host and journalist Laila Sultanqyzy has shared a poignant personal reflection, inspired by the melodrama "I'm in Love with You." The media personality, active on social media platform Threads, recently invited her followers to a screening of the film in Astana.

Following the viewing, Sultanqyzy opened up about the emotional impact the movie had on her. A particular scene, depicting the main character weeping in a bathtub, resonated deeply, bringing back memories of her own difficult times.

Recalling Kairat Berkinbaev

Sultanqyzy revealed that after the passing of Kairat Berkinbaev, she experienced a similar period of intense grief. "After Kairekeң passed away, I would hide in the bathtub just like that, crying and telling the water what was inside me," she wrote on Threads.

She explained her coping mechanism during that period: "At that time, I thought that if I could wash away my sorrow and grief with my tears, I would feel lighter, and my sons wouldn't see my tears."

The film "I'm in Love with You," directed by Duman Yerkimkbek and produced by Zhalyn Tleubegen, began its theatrical run across Kazakhstan on February 5. The movie's narrative follows a female student who is expelled due to family circumstances while searching for work. That same night, she meets Arman, a young man aspiring to be a musician, and a romance blossoms. However, life's challenges and crucial decisions push the young couple towards difficult choices.
