What made actress Barchin Gʻofurova change her name?

Actress Barchin Gʻofurova, who caught the attention of the audience with her character in the series "Baxt ovchisi," shared in an interview with the "Sayyod" YouTube channel about the event that led her to change her name several years ago.

— Some people find my name heavy. A few years ago, I was named Umida, and due to certain reasons, I had to change my name.

The thing is, I was in a relationship with a guy for 9 years. His family members did not want me to be their daughter-in-law. They didn't want me because I was an actress. That's why they made my name "hot-cold." After the hot-cold situation, I fell into a very difficult state. We call it "vos-vos" on our side. Under the influence of this, I tried to take my own life several times and even cut my veins.

It was a very difficult situation. Do you believe it, I was standing in the middle of the road, thinking about how I would die if I threw myself under a car. There was no doctor my mother hadn't taken me to, and in the end, they also said, "This is not our illness."

I was not myself. During those years, I would go to weddings, and my mind would be completely blank, and I would find myself thinking, "What am I doing here?"

There were times when someone whispered in my ear, "Kill yourself." In this way, I changed my name to Barchin in 2018-2019, says the actress.
