Michalina Sosna, a beloved actress known for her role as Kama in the long-running Polish series "M jak miłość," has taken on a new challenge as the co-host of "The Voice Kids." In a recent interview with "Fakt," she opened up about her experiences on the show, her unique approach to hosting, and her personal life, including her health struggles.
As a co-host alongside Paulina Chylewska and Janek Dąbrowski, Sosna brings her vibrant energy to the program. "I knew right away that this was a great project," she stated, reflecting on her initial reaction to the hosting offer. "I was excited to work with Paulina, a true professional in journalism, as I see this challenge as a role. We complement each other well, with her journalistic expertise and my acting energy. It's a fantastic duo, especially since we are both women. It's the first such pairing in the show's history!"
Sosna's enthusiasm for the role is palpable, as she emphasizes the importance of creating a welcoming atmosphere for the young contestants. "The director and producer wanted me to be myself on the show, interacting with the children without a script or prompter," she explained. This approach aligns perfectly with her natural curiosity and love for meeting new people. "I remember our first meeting with Michał Majak, who told me, 'You will be without a script, no prompter, nothing.' I was a bit taken aback, thinking, 'How do you expect me to do that?' But he assured me that they were relying on my energy and good aura. I aim to make the children feel at home, just like my grandmother did for guests in our family home in Silesia. This program should be a form of good fun, but it also brings out difficult emotions when a child's chair doesn't turn around and they leave the competition. How do you handle that?"
Sosna acknowledges that the children experience a wide range of emotions, including disappointment, joy, and everything in between. "There were tears and feelings of disappointment or uncontrolled joy and laughter. I believe it's essential to express those emotions after such stressful experiences. The best remedy was a hug. The contestants were accompanied by their families, providing them with good energy during tough moments. Additionally, there is a psychologist on set to talk with the children," she said.
In addition to her hosting duties, Sosna continues to captivate audiences in "M jak miłość," where her character, Kama, is involved in a tumultuous relationship with Marcin Chodakowski, played by Mikołaj Roznerski. "Our on-screen couple has garnered a lot of sympathy, which we also feel in our personal lives," she shared. "Mikołaj has faced significant popularity before, but for me, it's a new experience. I had no idea so many people were following our storyline and were curious about what would happen next. It's heartwarming!"
Both Sosna and Roznerski are committed to using their popularity for charitable purposes. "We are the kind of people who need to share the good energy we receive from others," she noted. Their bond extends beyond the screen, as evidenced by their social media interactions, which often showcase their friendship. "If it weren't genuine, we wouldn't be taking on certain projects together. Our positive auras definitely pay off!"
As for her health, Sosna bravely addressed her recent health challenges. In September 2024, she revealed that during preventive examinations, a change was detected in her breast, leading her to seek medical attention in Krakow. "I had a tumor, but it turned out to be non-threatening, so I'm very glad I reacted quickly. I try to get checked every six months, and I encourage everyone to do the same," she stated. "I have a family history of cancer, so I always keep that in the back of my mind. If something like this appears, it's essential to remove it quickly and move on with life."
Sosna underwent a mammotomic biopsy, a non-surgical procedure that took only several minutes, and she was able to return to her normal activities shortly after. "I have a body type that wouldn't have detected it through palpation, so I'm grateful for regular check-ups. It's crucial for everyone to take care of their health and be proactive about screenings," she emphasized.
Looking ahead, fans can expect more thrilling developments in "M jak miłość." In the upcoming episode 1865, airing on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 20:55 on TVP2, Kama will showcase her talents in a night club while helping Marcin investigate a suspicious case. Kama's performance of the legendary hit "Kocham cię, kochanie moje" will not only captivate the audience but also assist Marcin in gathering crucial information from the club's owner. However, this daring move raises concerns about her safety, prompting Marcin to express his worries about her reckless behavior.
As the storyline unfolds, viewers can anticipate a mix of excitement and drama, with Sosna's character navigating both personal and professional challenges. Her ability to connect with the audience and bring authenticity to her roles has solidified her status as a beloved figure in Polish television.
In her dual roles as a host and actress, Michalina Sosna continues to inspire others with her dedication, energy, and commitment to health awareness. Her journey serves as a reminder of the importance of regular health screenings and the power of positivity in both personal and professional endeavors.
