Zudina herself reacted calmly to the heated discussion and humorously responded to both friendly and critical comments. Some users admitted that they hardly recognized the actress in the new photos. Some wrote that she "looks nothing like herself," while others saw a resemblance to Alla Pugacheva.  Marina Zudina was married to the People's Artist of the USSR Oleg Tabakov. They met while the actress was studying at GITIS, where Tabakov taught. The couple married in 1995 and raised two children. Their son Pavel Tabakov continued the family tradition and became an actor. Despite the mixed reactions online, Marina Zudina herself chose not to engage in conflicts with her followers. Instead, the actress took the discussion of her appearance with irony, and the publication gathered numerous responses and once again drew attention to her work.
