Remember Ivana Banfić, the pop star of the 90s? Well, she’s now far from the glitz of the stage, away from city lights and noise. Ivana, once the queen of the pop scene, decided to vanish from the public eye and find peace in a village surrounded by nature and animals. But it wasn’t an easy road. After 12 years of marriage to her manager Robert Magić, she divorced and fell into the hell of alcoholism. Yes, you read that right – alcohol became her refuge, but luckily, Ivana quickly realized she had a problem and started treatment.
And that’s not all! Her story takes an even stranger turn – she found salvation in India. There, as she says, she experienced personal growth and completely shattered her ego as a spoiled star. India brought her down to earth and taught her she’s not some diva, just a regular person. Now she lives in a village, chopping wood, learning about mushrooms, and enjoying hugging trees. The locals were shocked at first when they saw her in rubber boots painting a fence, but now they’re used to her and think she’s wonderful.
Ivana said city life “grinds” people down, and she and her husband decided to change their lives completely. Now she can sleep on the grass or in a five-star villa – it’s all the same to her. She wants to see how people live in the countryside, not just be surrounded by the showbiz world. Her story is an inspiration for anyone who thinks celebrity life is all glam and shine – behind the scenes, there can be real drama and a fight for oneself.
If you think Ivana Banfić is just another star who fell and got back up, think again. Her story proves it’s possible to change your life, find yourself, and heal your wounds, even when it seems all is lost. So, what do you think about such a life turnaround? Could you leave the city and showbiz for the peace of the countryside and spiritual calm? Drop a comment, maybe Ivana will teach us something new!
