Aleksandra Nikolic: I Don't Belong in Reality TV

Aleksandra Nikolic, the winner of Zadruga 6, went live on TikTok on October 13 for the first time in more than six months and said reality TV is not the place for her. Followers also asked about the new season. It is her first public appearance since her former partner Filip Car entered Elita 10.

Until now we had only Filip Car’s side of this story, which we covered when he spoke about Anela and Dalila. Now Aleksandra has had her say.

Why won’t Aleksandra Nikolic return to reality TV?

Talking to followers, she explained why she is not part of that format. She said her daughter is in kindergarten at the moment, that they got up at eight, and that after dropping her off she rushed to get ready and log on:

I don’t belong in reality TV, because I’m a mother and I have a little girl who is the center of my world. She’s in kindergarten now, we got up at eight. After I took her there, I ran to get ready and get on here. I don’t think I ever needed reality TV, but obviously that was some kind of path of mine.

She went on to describe the life she leads now, her looks, and why she cannot picture herself among people from that world:

I live a completely different life now and I couldn’t imagine myself there with people like that, no way. You’re asking whether I’ve had something done to my face, but I wouldn’t tinker with anything there. I think the biggest mistake among young girls, and me too, is putting fillers in the face. Botox is okay with me, but fillers are an absolute mistake and a big no! I’m doing well, everything is great and it’s superb. I’ve found some peace within myself, and that’s it, that’s the most important thing.

In that same answer she drew a clear line on cosmetic procedures: Botox is acceptable to her, while she considers facial fillers a mistake. She also said she does not plan to change her face.

Where has she been for six months?

Aleksandra Nikolic had been out of the public eye for more than half a year. She said it was her own decision, and then thanked viewers for their comments:

I was gone for six months and I withdrew because I wanted a little peace, and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for asking, I’m well, and thank you for the kind comments. A lot has happened in all this time, but some things I can’t share. I look at life differently and only now have I understood the real values, I know what I need and what I don’t.

She did not say what exactly had happened. In the parts of the conversation published by Telegraf and Kurir, she does not mention Car’s stay in Elita 10.

What did she say about the new season and her daughter?

Asked about reality TV and the new season, she answered that it does not interest her. She used the answer to explain why she does not talk about her child in public:

It really doesn’t interest me. A child doesn’t belong on social media, but Filip posted something this summer, and I talked to him about it. In public I don’t want to talk much about her, I think I should keep her out of all of it. She needs a different start and I think I have the right to that.

According to her, she spoke with Filip Car about what he posted this summer, and she does not want to expose her daughter to the public.
