Vesna Žmijanac, the legendary folk diva, went through a real heart drama two years ago – an emergency heart surgery with two bypasses and one stent implanted. While many expected her to retire from the stage and live a quiet life, Vesna quickly bounced back to her work as if nothing happened. But here’s the shocking truth – now, two years later, the singer admits she no longer cares about her diet and health like before. “I eat whatever I want, apparently food doesn’t matter,” says Vesna, while her heart, thankfully, remains stable.
Her daughter, Nikolija Jovanović, reveals she tried to convince her mother to slow down and reduce performances, but Vesna is as stubborn as ever. “I thought she would cut back, but I gave up. She needs her shows, it’s her passion,” says Nikolija. Although Vesna isn’t as fit as before – she can’t run like she used to – she still breathes and lives life to the fullest.
Besides health challenges, Vesna remains in the spotlight for her real estate – she owns seven properties in Belgrade, including three apartments in Bežanijska kosa and a magnificent house on Bukulja. Her financial situation seems stable, but her health still worries fans.
In one viral video, Vesna looked confused and didn’t know where she was at a concert, which fueled concerns about her condition. Still, the singer claims she’s fine now and can breathe easily, but admits she’s not as agile as before.
This story is a perfect example of how even the biggest stars face serious health issues but fight to keep going, often in their own way. Is Vesna’s relaxed attitude towards diet a brave choice or a dangerous gamble? Only time will tell, but one thing’s clear – Vesna Žmijanac doesn’t give up easily.
