Dina Saeva: biography before taking off on Tik Tok

Real name – Madina Basaeva. The girl was born in the capital of Tajikistan – Dushanbe, in August 1999, on the 24th. The family experienced financial difficulties and was forced to move to Russia, Yekaterinburg, where they received Russian citizenship. Mother is a cook by profession, father is a driver. Initially, the family was interrupted for a long time by acquaintances. The head earned by working as a security guard in a dance club. As a result, the Basaevs managed to take out a mortgage and buy their own living space. In 2019, Dina’s father passed away and the daughter took over all the loan costs. Information about the number of brothers and sisters is hidden. Sometimes on Instagram, the blogger posts pictures with her younger sister.

Parents saw creative inclinations in their daughter, but insisted on getting a stable and mundane specialty. So, after graduating from school, Madina entered the law faculty. In difficult times, she even worked part-time at a well-known fast food chain. At the same time, she was already actively posting videos on Instagram. Long before moving to TikTok, the Tajik woman began to be recognized by the interesting plots of her videos, where she combined dancing and lip-synching with elements of her native culture. For viewers of her nation, it was a fresh and modern take on a girl with Muslim roots.

In 2017, Saeva leaves the university and leaves the Urals for Moscow, where she makes connections with a number of well-known bloggers. One of those close in spirit was Rakhim Abramov. At the time of his acquaintance, he already had about 6 million subscribers on social networks. The girl organically merges into the subculture and quickly promotes herself as a lifestyle blogger. She did not have a specific model or promotion concept. Madina just filmed something funny, useful or catchy for an emotional response from the audience. Some of the Vines got into YouTube reviews and already millions of Internet users knew about the beautifully singing Tajik woman.

Saeva’s transition to Tik Tok

Saeva started her account on Tik Tok back in 2016, but at first she only looked closely at the western trends of the site. It wasn’t until 2018 that Dina caught the wave and started posting videos regularly. The rapid growth of the viewer base was facilitated by the already stable biography of the blogger on Instagram. She collaborated with other popular instagram stars and tiktokers. Such persons as Danya Milokhin and Anna Kalashnik appeared in her sketches.

Basaeva’s social networks are chosen by large brands for advertising. She promoted brands such as Sprite, Coca-Cola and Contex. Moreover, the girl always comes up with a plot on her own and works out the installation. It is important for Madina to remain as in demand by ordinary viewers and not to clog their traffic with frankly boring material. Therefore, the blogger always gives her work social humor or deep morality.

Relations with society

With the growth of fame and taking into account the nation of the tiktoker, she began to increasingly fall under the attention of haters. She was bypassed by banal rumors about plastic surgery – there are no reliable data and hot photos before plastic surgery on the network. But Dina is involved in scandals with beatings, when she was allegedly attacked by a girl on the bus.

Part of society accused the blogger of staging for PR. National pressure also touched the Tajik woman when she appeared in the frame with a bible and a Koran in her hands. Basaeva’s people reacted aggressively to her statements about the abolition of forced marriage of Muslim women.

Forbes article: interview with Dina Saeva

Another scandal with the name of the famous tiktoker came in March 2020. The largest online edition of Forbes, under the heading about the career biography of modern businessmen, posted a long article about Dean. The magazine boldly called her the “queen” of Russian TikTok and described in detail the entire path of becoming a simple Tajik woman, how much she earns and how she copes with the hate.

After the publication, Saeva accused the public of deceit. The hype was immediately picked up by other sites with star news reviews. Madina made all her statements on her Instagram story. According to her, she answered 28 questions from the interviewer and expected to see exactly the same structure of her answers in the article. However, the material came out in the form of a review with several direct quotes from the tiktoker.

Literally immediately, Forbes himself reacted to Saeva’s indignation and issued a response statement. The scandal of the situation lies in the fact that the girl openly showed the journalist’s phone number, which is generally impossible under the law on the protection of personal data. For this action, the magazine threatened Basaeva with a trial. Which particular points from the article are unreliable, the girl does not indicate, allegedly because of a possible trial, and she still keeps all the evidentiary facts to herself.

Personal life

Most of Saeva’s subscribers consider her Rakhim Abramov’s girlfriend. This was followed by joint pictures and excessively frequent appearance of the couple on the video. In addition to humorous challenges and sketches for Tik Tok, they also filmed romantic vines.

When Rahim became less likely to be in the same frame with Dina, commentators began to write that they had broken up. Someone saw frank evidence of a relationship with a guy in the posts of the tiktoker. But only one thing is known for sure – there was no official confirmation of the public’s conjectures from the persons themselves.

Dina now

At the beginning of 2020, Madina starred in the video for the new track “Love is” by rap and pop artist Yegor Creed. Stars such as Christina Asmus and David Manukyan were also involved there. The musician himself found the blogger through the PC production center, with which she signed a 5-year contract.

The collaboration between the rapper and the tiktoker has dragged on after the release of the video, and they are increasingly shooting joint videos. By the way, it was Dina who initiated the registration of Creed’s personal TikTok account. Some fans even suspect a romance between popular personalities.

Such an incredible success of a blogger from Russia has become unique in the modern fashion industry.
