Lola (singer)

Her acting career reached a new high as a result of her starring role in the 2005 comedy Kelgindi kuyov ("The Alien Bridegroom").

In November 2019, Lola released a music video for her single "Sevgingni menga ayt" (Tell Me About Your Love) in which she criticized censorship of singers and musicians in Uzbekistan.

[3] In October 2005, Lola got married and went on an indefinite hiatus, but returned to show business in November 2011 with a series of solo concerts entitled "Senga" ("For You").

[5] In March 2015, Uzbeknavo issued a directive that female singers were no longer to wear clothing that exposed their shoulders or legs, that they were not to appear “half-naked” at public events, and that they were not to include any sexually suggestive moves on stage.

[6] Deputy Prime Minister and chairperson of Uzbekistanʼs State Women’s Committee Elmira Bositkhonova was quoted as saying “How can one explain the fact that some of our female singers are dressed in a more than revealing style, completely divorced from the national style, and appear on television channels intended for family viewing, singing songs with messages that aren’t subjected to any criticism and in frivolous video clips?”[7] Following Bositkhonova's remarks, Uzbeknavo suspended Lolaʼs license on 14 July 2015.

[8] In November 2019, Lola released a second music video for her single "Sevgingni menga ayt" (Tell Me About Your Love) in her personal YouTube channel in which she criticized censorship of singers and musicians in Uzbekistan.

[9] The video, which was directed by Lola herself, went viral and was hailed as a "social protest" and "revolutionary" by many critics and fans, including the well-known Uzbek director Ali Hamroyev.
