She took to Instagram to pay her respects to a cherished actor whose presence had touched her life in more ways than one. Having delved into his book earlier this year, Jelena reflected on the profound connection the actor had with the complexities of life. Perry always seemed to teeter on the edge of pain and sorrow.
For Jelena, finding solace in the world of television has been a cherished ritual. Specifically, one show has held a special place in her heart – ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S.’ The classic American sitcom is known for its humor, heart, and a delightful ensemble cast. The show has been a source of comfort for Jelena for years. It served as a trusted companion during the nail-biting moments when she would step into the stands to support her husband during his matches. She said: “I’ve read his book at the beginning of this year. He was always too close to death with hurt and pain. Way too many incredible actors who brought laughter to our lives were depressed and hurting inside. Way too many.” This deep emotional connection to ‘Friends’ has transcended time. Jelena confessed that Perry’s memory will continue to reside in her home, a daily reminder of his impact on her life for the past 15 years. She wrote: “He’ll live in my house forever. Daily. It’s been like that for the last 15 years.”
