Recently, Bashkir singer Rinat Rakhmatullin, who married a woman nearly three decades younger than himself, underwent facial surgery. Some people connected these events and decided that the singer did it for his young bride. Whether this is true or not remains a matter of speculation, which people are engaging in. Reactions to the news of the surgery varied widely—we have gathered opinions from social media followers and visitors to our site.

«You can«t cheat age,» someone writes.

«The skin is old, no surgery will help,» — it probably will, given the wonders of modern technology.

«He looks old for his age, like many men at that age, unfortunately,» — have you noticed such things in your circle?

«Oh well. You start to feel sorry for him. Did he think that in his old age he would go through all this?»

«The bandage is wrapped funny. The photos are staged,» someone summarizes, but we will only be able to assess the truthfulness later.

«He did it on purpose so as not to see her,» the second person jokes in response to the previous comment.

«He gave hope to old men,» — interesting, how?

But, by the way, such a reaction is not from the majority—on social media, the couple is supported, and people worry about the singer«s health due to the surgery. They even ask: wasn»t it scary to walk around with a bandage and not see the light?
