Goca Bozinovska asks daughter on air: What did she mean
The singer called in to the show Demanti with a question for her daughter Jelena Vuckovic, and the answer about milk, a neighbour named Milka and one badly worded sentence came on camera.
Goca Bozinovska called in to the show her daughter was appearing on, and she brought a question with her. Singer Jelena Vuckovic was the guest on Demanti, which airs at 8 p.m. on the YouTube channel Informer portal, and host Vanja Jovanovic read the mother’s message out live.
The question was about a single line Vuckovic had said earlier about her childhood, the one that later travelled across social networks and news sites.
In one television show she made a mistake and said a neighbour nursed her. I want to know what she meant by that.
Vuckovic did not dodge it. She explained where the mix-up started and admitted the wording was hers.
What Jelena Vuckovic actually said about the milk and Grandma Milka
Bozinovska gave birth very young and lost her milk after three months. From then on the family bought milk from a neighbour they called Grandma Milka. That is the whole of a story that reached the public in a far more dramatic shape.
The singer says the fault was in how she put it.
She had me young and lost her milk early. Then I put it badly, as if some cow had fed me.
The cow line is the part people remembered. The rest of it, that the milk was bought from a neighbour, went missing somewhere between the retelling and the headlines. Which is why the correction had to happen where the confusion started, on camera.
A strict mother and notes about clothes
The relationship between the two was already on the table before the message arrived. Vuckovic says her mother is demanding, above all about how she looks.
Goca is a strict mother, now there may be criticism too, “What did you put on?”, she likes me to be perfect.
She added that the two of them are on excellent terms now, and that they were always more like friends. There were misunderstandings along the way, she said, but they stayed close.
What else came up on Demanti
The conversation did not stop at childhood. The show worked through subjects Vuckovic has rarely opened before:
- her parents’ divorce
- the disappointments in love and the infidelity that ended her thirteen-year marriage
- the criticism she gets from her mother
- her memories of Zoran Sijan
- the media pile-on she went through
In celebrity interviews each of those usually arrives with a run-up. Here they came one after another.
Why a public question is an unusual move
Singers rarely phone in to a programme where their own child is the guest. When they do, the call is support, congratulations or a joke. This one was a correction, and it was addressed to the daughter rather than to the host or the audience.
The effect is concrete. The difficult childhood story stays, but the nursing detail drops out of it, because the only person who could confirm it has now disputed it. The milk was paid for, not given, and no neighbour did any nursing.
There is one more fact that tends to get lost in conversations like this. Bozinovska gave birth very young and lost her milk after three months, so everything else in the story, the neighbour and Grandma Milka included, followed from that. Jelena Vuckovic said as much in her own words last night, prompted by a question from her mother.
