Marinella: Daughter and Granddaughter by Her Side

Journalist Anna Litina reported on Star’s central news bulletin that the legendary singer has opened her eyes and is responsive to her environment. However, her health condition remains serious, with the next 48 hours being critical, according to her doctors. Currently, no visitors are permitted, not even her beloved daughter, who has remained at the hospital. Her granddaughter was present last night, and her grandson is returning from overseas. Sources close to the singer have reported that an ambulance was dispatched immediately. Still, its arrival at Marinella was delayed due to traffic on Rovertou Galli, preventing access to the theatre.
