And when the casting took place on the place of the leading news programs on the "Russia-2" TV channel, Anya was unanimously elected to this post, she was told: "Be ready, you have a live broadcast in a week".

Kasterova began to lead the program "News. ru "and" News. en. Friday". These two programs made her famous. The block that came out on Friday evening had an unusual pitching style. It dealt with the most discussed Russian and world events over the past week - news of science and technology, the life of celebrities.

With the famous hockey player Evgeni Malkin, Anya was acquainted for a long time, they had a friendly relationship. But at some point the friendship grew into more serious feelings.

Anna liked Evgeni for the fact that, despite his popularity, he was down to earth, he was always responsive to other people's problems and troubles, he tried to help in every possible way. Malkin is a very busy person, but he always finds free time for charity and help to children. He is kind and caring, he has a male power in him, he is calm and confident, very strong-willed and with a great sense of humor. All this fascinated Kasterova, and she fell in love.

But there was a problem in their relationship: Evgeni lived and worked in America, he has a long-term contract with the hockey club "Pittsburgh Penguins". Anya did not imagine her life without Russian television. All the season he spent in America, and in the summer he came to Moscow. Several times a year, Anna flew to him across the ocean, but could not decide to give up everything.

But the love was stronger: Anya quitted her job on TV and moved to North America. In the end, the main purpose of her life was not work, but family. She was already very anxious to be a wife and mother, live next to a beloved and loving person, have her big cozy house, and several cats.

In the fall of 2015, Evgeni proposed Anna. But the wedding was postponed, as the couple expected the birth of the first-born. On May 31, 2016, Nikita was born.

Beauty secrets

Anya believes that the beauty of any person depends on his mood. She tries to keep her mood always positive.

Kasterova regularly visits the gym. In a week she has at least three trainings, prefers intense loads - "bodypump", "bodycombat" and boxing. When she is on vacation, she gives herself rest from training, but every morning starts with jogging.

As for food, then Anya does not hide: she loves to eat delicious. She especially likes Italian cuisine: pizza and pasta. She perfectly cookes these dishes herself. But she has to limit herself. The basis of her daily diet consists of dishes cooked for a couple, fish and vegetables. Morning starts with a cup of coffee and a glazed curd.

Anna's weakness - sweets, all kinds of sweets, donuts, cakes, chocolate. Sometimes she can not fall asleep if she does not eat a couple of "Mishka in the North" sweets. Anya then conscientiously works it out in the gym.

Kasterova is cool about the fact that she is on the list of the most beautiful TV hosts of Russia, she says that it would be more pleasant to be on the list of the smartest. 

Due to the bright appearance of Anna, there were proposals from men's magazines, for example, "Maxim", about explicit photography. Even the magazine "Pro Sports", which is quite unusual for them, asked her to pose in a swimsuit. Kasterova rejects such proposals, because there are a lot of 13-14-year-old girls among her fans who look at Anna. And she does not want to give these girls an excuse to think that success and career growth can be achieved by undressing.

She never tried to invent artificial stories, participate in photo sessions, attract fans by creating gossips.

Someone from the fans decided that such a beautiful and popular TV presenter can not do without her pages on the Internet and opened an unofficial website of Anna Kasterova. Filled it with photos, video clips from various TV programs. But Anya herself did not take any part in this, moreover, she considers it a stupid idea, she is not interested in it at all and does not need it.

As for communication with the Internet, Anna can not call herself an active blogger. Nevertheless, she has been registered for quite a long time and has her own Facebook page. There is an opportunity to communicate with friends who are currently traveling and are somewhere far abroad. Also, using this social network, Anya stays on top of things,  knows about all the events thanks to the news and entertainment tape.

She has there personal photos, which she would not like to put on public display. Therefore, she does not accept strangers into "friends", only her good acquaintances. Because of this, many fans consider her posh, begin to write mucks and unflattering comments, but Anya learned not to pay attention to it.

In everyday life, Kasterova adheres to a sporty, discreet style in clothes. Favorite makeup - "smokey eyes" with a natural shade of lips. She prefers to spend holidays passively, can lie all day on the beach by the sea, sunbathe and read a book.
