Vitalia Shesya shocked the public with her appearance now wearing a hijab. This decision was made just before the month of Ramadan 2025 and came without prior planning. According to her, this change is purely due to a call from the heart.
"I don't know exactly where my heart was touched, whether from a dream or somewhere else. I just feel that when it comes to worship, I fear being ostentatious and it may not be good. What’s certain is that my heart was suddenly touched to want to wear a hijab, which I previously planned not to wear again," said Vitalia when contacted via phone on Thursday (15/4).
This significant decision was not without challenges, including negative comments attacking her on social media. As a public figure, she admits to being accustomed to various forms of criticism for a long time.
"Speaking of bad comments, I’ve been used to it since 2013. There are many, yes, from irresponsible online media articles that are only for their own interests, just to make their content more popular," she said.
