In contrast to the characters she played in the popular Armenian films, Galia Novents was a very modest personality in life, says Sos Sargsyan, a popular actor.

Remembering the talented actress who was reported dead on Sunday, Sargsyan characterized her as a very restrained and predomnantly silent personality,

“She was a very smart and good friend and a kind girl in life. And as an actress, she was peerless and irreplaceable. We do not have that type of self-reliant, unique and very talented [personality],” the actor told Tert.am on Monday.

Sargsyan recalled that it was a special pleasure for him to star with the great actress in a film.

“It is a long time I haven’t met her; probably ten years. I saw her play in the performance, A Drop of Kindness, at the Hamazgayin [pan-national] theatre; she was playing a wonderful role. That was her last [part] as she was not in Armenia. She was all the time with her grandchildren in the United States,” Sargsyan said, expressing sorrow for the untimely loss.
