Serbian singer Marija Šerifović, known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, recently shared a dramatic yet humorous moment from her family vacation in Croatia. While sailing on a rented yacht along the Adriatic coast with her mother, Verica Šerifović, and son Mario, the family encountered a sudden change in weather.
The idyllic sailing trip took a turn when the sea became rough and strong winds began to rock the yacht. Inside the boat's galley, Verica was attempting to prepare lunch when the vessel tilted sharply. Marija captured the scene on camera as her mother struggled to keep her balance and prevent the food from spilling.
Is there flour, grandma?
"Is there flour, grandma?" Marija playfully asked her mother. Verica, focused on holding the pot and ensuring her grandson Mario was safe, called out, "I'm holding the pot so the child has something to eat. Oh Marija, hold him!" The moment, though initially tense for Verica, highlighted the challenges of navigating unpredictable seas.
This incident, which could have been a minor disaster, ultimately became another amusing anecdote for the family's holiday. Šerifović is known for sharing unscripted and humorous moments from her daily life and family outings in her vlogs, which resonate with her followers. The family also had a minor scare earlier in their trip when Mario injured himself after a fall in Montenegro, requiring a hospital visit for an X-ray, which thankfully revealed no serious issues.
I'm holding the pot so the child has something to eat. Oh Marija, hold him!
