"After the last clip was shot with Mrs. Ilhama, I showed the sign by hand that this is the end. They said, would a man do this to a prima donna? I explained that this is enough. There was no difficulty in working with Ilhama Guliyeva. I was not living with her. She had no tantrums against me. We had a sincere-official relationship with Mrs. Ilhama. I was not sitting in a restaurant with her day and night eating and drinking like some. Then they say Ilhama fell in front of me."
Medianews.az reports that Firdovsi Atakişiyev said these words on the program "Guest of the Week." The actor responded to the host's question regarding the late People's Artist Ilhama Guliyeva, "Even back then, people said you were lovers." He said these claims do not reflect the truth:
"Although they say Mrs. Ilhama had a harsh, bad temper, she was an artist. I acted in clips for her art. Songs remained after her. Those who say I was Ilhama's lover are ignorant and simple-minded people. I do not consider this word appropriate for intelligent people.
I did everything so that there would not even be the slightest notion of this in people's minds. Because I prioritize my family and their honor and dignity above all."
