Edita and Indi Aradinovic's Mother Breaks Silence on Feud

Florija Aradinovic, mother of singers Edita and Indi Aradinovic, has spoken publicly for the first time about her daughters’ feud. Telegraf presents the statement as its own interview, published on September 3, while Kurir attributed the same statement, published a day earlier on September 2, to Blic. Who actually obtained the comment remains unclear, but the wording carried by both outlets is identical.

Asked about the friction between her daughters, Aradinovic said:

It’s been going on for a long time. I don’t know who doesn’t have problems living in a house with a brother or a sister. Since they’re public figures, it costs us. It really costs us, and people are cruel, what can I tell you. Everything is okay.

She did not elaborate further, but her comment came just days after the latest public clash between Edita and Indi put the family back in the headlines.

Why the sisters clashed again

The trigger for the new round of headlines was a post Edita made on Instagram. Indi took the post, in which Edita reportedly referred to other women as her daughter’s “aunts,” as a message aimed directly at her. She reacted publicly and harshly, writing that her mother and sister were “dead to her” and that she no longer wanted to be part of their lives.

She changed her mind the very next day. On her own account, she wrote that she regretted what she had said and asked for forgiveness:

I love my mother and sister more than anyone in the world. Ugh, these things happen… I just shouldn’t have posted it publicly this time. A bad moment. Thank God for every trial.

Before the situation escalated, Indi had also posted a longer message on Instagram describing her own state of mind:

I’m going through the most beautiful period of my life, and I wouldn’t want to ruin it. You can see I share everything on social media. I’m in a sensitive and specific period of my life. Each of us does the best we can, and no one should blame anyone. Everyone acts in the moment the way they know how. I don’t intend to speak badly about my family. The only way to live in peace is to mind your own business, and that’s what I do. I wouldn’t step on anyone’s toes, including my sister’s. I love her more than anyone in the world, she’s mine. The fact that we’re different is a separate matter, I would never turn against my own family. She doesn’t have a bad soul, but we’re all different. I’m sorry she’s handling it this way. I wish her all the best in the world. There’s no one I could wish better things for than her.

What the mother said about Edita’s motherhood

While the family disagreements are being picked apart in public, Edita has been focused on her baby daughter, Zoja, born in July, and has largely stayed out of the media since. Florija Aradinovic revealed that her younger daughter, Indi, has been helping with the baby during this period and, despite everything, has taken well to the role of aunt.

Edita ended her relationship with the baby’s father, Nenad Stevic, while she was pregnant. Despite the breakup, the two have remained on good terms, as shown when they crossed paths at Nuci’s promotion event without incident.

How the 2023 incident ended

This is not the first time the relationship between the Aradinovic sisters has drawn public scrutiny. In early 2023, footage surfaced of a physical altercation between Edita and Indi outside their mother’s house in Karaburma. The video shows the sisters pushing, pulling each other’s hair and hitting one another while a man tries to separate them. At one point Edita threw Indi’s phone, and Florija herself briefly stepped into the fight.

The footage caused a major stir at the time, largely because Edita and Indi had for years been presented as very close sisters, frequently appearing together at performances. Even that incident, however, did not mark the end of their relationship, as shown by the fact that Indi is now present in Edita’s baby’s life.

We have written about the sisters’ relationship before, in connection with Edita’s remark, “Who wants to swim in the pool in Avala.” Now, with their mother’s comments calling for understanding and acknowledging that public status is part of the family’s burden, the story of the Aradinovic sisters gains another chapter, with the question of whether peace between Edita and Indi will hold this time still open.
