The presenter did not hold back the tears news about the war in Ukraine, for violent accidents and also for people who don’t they can pay their bills
Before starting to work in Nova TV, Desi Banova – Plevnelieva gained experience in front of the camera at the MM music television, where in 1997 she conducted the show “Hansel and Gretel”. It’s one of her sweet moments in her life, as she describes it. “I was studying at UNSS and my colleague Biser Kunchev suggested hosting this show. His brother was a TV producer and for me it was an amazing experience because the show was broadcast live and
there was also a contact with the public that
it’s very important for a presenter, “says Banova.
One day he accidentally discovered that a news presenter contest had been held on Nova TV. She appears alongside over 2000 candidates. She is immediately distinguished from each other by the fact that she has tapes of previous television appearances and has no qualms in front of the camera. At the auditions they said they would call me, but I realized it probably wasn’t going to happen because that’s what everyone was saying. Then I worked in a German-Bulgarian company and there were prospects of going to Germany. At one point they called me and told me that I should start working on Nova TV the following Monday. For three days I wondered what to do, because there was nothing solid on television at the time, while in the company I had a very good prospect with specific conditions. At a certain point I had to take a path unknown to me, but I decided to take a risk “, says Plevnelieva.
He accepted the job on television on the advice of Maria Misova, who at the time was working on Channel 1 of the BNT. Misova is adamant that you can always work in a company, but if you end up on television, every day will be different and interesting. Banova decides to take a risk. She leaves the corporate world and undertakes a new challenge, which Nova TV proposes to her. At first, weather feeds are recorded to keep everyone calmer, even though she has never been nervous about being in front of a camera.
For nearly 20 years, Desi Banova has been on screen as a weather presenter. She is the author of the documentary film “Climate Anomalies”, dedicated to climate change in Bulgaria. As the author of the film, she was invited to attend a meeting in New York dedicated to global climate change. The presenter is the only Bulgarian representative along with 12 popular weather forecast faces from all over the world.
She firmly believes that if she were to start her career now, she would choose the same path again. “I can’t imagine sitting for eight hours in an office and working on a computer. I’m a social person and
I need the dynamics and the variety that television offers me
Sure, working on television takes a lot out of you and over the years it has made me sleepy. For years I have had to get up at 4 in the morning to host the morning broadcasts, as well as on holidays, when the other offices are resting, we work, “says Plevnelieva.
For fear of not falling asleep when he must be at the morning block, he does not sleep soundly and often dreams of the same nightmare: he is late for broadcast. There are also extreme moments in her work. Once the producers decided to put it on the roof of the television. Just before she aired it, she got sick from the heat. Then they measured it and it turned out to be 39 degrees.
Since March of this year, Desi Banova-Plevnelieva has entered a new role as host of the “Here and Now” column. “I’ve come a little late with this step. After 20 years on screen, I’ve seen and understood a lot, I’ve traveled with all these climate forums, but good things happen when you step out of your comfort zone. At some point. , I took this step that I should have taken before, “says Plevnelieva about her decision to withdraw from the weather forecast and
tell in a different light
the human stories of popular characters
It does not make the decision easily because it is conservative by nature and it is very difficult to decide on changes.
However, note that in her life so far, every single change for her is related to something good and she should change jobs more often.
On a personal level, she is adamant that when a person finds their soul mate, it is not good to make changes. When she starts the new column, she is a little worried at first, but then she realizes that this is her kind of her and she feels at home.
He has a great opportunity to talk to people who have achieved a lot. Among them are the former First Lady of Ukraine Kateryna Yushchenko,
world chess champion Gary
Kasparov, American Ambassador to Bulgaria Hero Mustafa,
which has an amazing story and the presenter was very impressed. Each of the stories he tells can be an example for each of us.
The story of Desi Banova – Plevnelieva is also very interesting and maybe one day he will describe it in a book. “It has recently become fashionable to write books and I think it more or less devalues the value, but at some point it is good for my children and future generations to learn exactly how things went,” Plevnelieva says with a smile.
In 2017, together with President Rosen Plevneliev, they announced they were having an affair. According to her, the best thing at the time was for them to go out and reveal their relationship, even though many people in the audience weren’t ready for a president to come out and talk about her private life. Desi is one of those people who appreciates constructive criticism, because you can draw conclusions and learn from it.
“I have learned not to take things personally. When your husband has been an active politician, it is normal to have people who accept his political views and those who are his political opponents. I think the tone is not always good and I would recommend to these people to put that energy into working on themselves or doing something constructive, because the negative energy goes back to whoever emits it. ” On June 17, 2018, the two decided to get married in a close family circle. The Sofia ceremony was attended by the children of the newlyweds, Plevneliev Lily’s mother-in-law and the best men of the young family.
Both sons of the TV host took their name from San Giovanni. Joanna turned 11 this year, and John – 4 years old. He has learned from his experience as a mother that raising a girl is much easier because they learn some things faster than boys, who are also more sensitive.
“When I gave birth to Joanna I was younger and didn’t feel much challenge, now with the second she is much more aware, you have experience and you can enjoy the beautiful things to the fullest. With her, I was constantly undecided about not getting sick, not falling and you tremble too much for everything. The highest meaning of a woman is to be a mother and to raise good children and precious personalities, “says Plevnelieva.
He wants to teach his children to be good people, to see the meaning in everything they do, to be happy, to stand up for themselves and to be believers. She considers it a mistake not to be a strict mother and that her children can easily manipulate her.
The presenter is a very sensitive person and many things manage to darken her sunny smile, which is not lacking on her face. It’s been a while
stopped looking
It is difficult for him to survive the news of children killed in the war in Ukraine, people trampled on the street or those who cannot pay their bills. He often cries for good emotions. “I participated in an initiative organized by Ivan and Andrey, a few weeks ago we returned from Munich where there were over 1000 Bulgarians who came to listen to my husband and other inspiring speakers. The topic was why they should come back in Bulgaria. I was crying with excitement all the time because there is so much we can and must be proud of. Undoubtedly the problems are many, but there was so much emotion that I cried all the time in this meeting “, Desi Banova says with emotion. Together with Rosen Plevneliev she manages to keep her positivity about her, but she says she still has a lot to learn from him. After the serious tragedy he experienced, he managed to find the meaning to continue. “It is easy for a person to be sad, but the best thing is to be able to see the bright side of life, because I believe that this energy, radiating it out into the universe, returns to us. We have many reasons to be sad lately. The scariest thing about this. moment is the situation of war. Life is a moment, he smiles, and your life smiles. “The charming guest lets people in very easily and this is one of the mistakes he manages to correct over time. He is not afraid of failure , but not to hurt anyone.
Desi Banova – Plevnelieva is another guest of the podcast “24 HOURS OF LIFE”, in which beloved and less recognizable Bulgarian faces publicly talk about the important things: love, family, health, career, betrayals, friends. Anatoly Popov one year ago created this new channel under the brand “24 chasa” – “24 chasa podcast”. Usually the stories of the paper newspaper are the precious added value of our site. But the opposite is already happening: the stories from the site enter the newspaper. We do this because the most important of these one-hour talks is worth reading and listening to.
