Aliki has a sister, whose name is Elena. She is five years older than the singer, is engaged in creative activities (writer, journalist, editor). From childhood, Smekhova Jr. grew up in a creative atmosphere. Frequent guests in their house were: Akhmadulina, Zolotukhin, Tabakov, Lyubimov. Sometimes his father took Alika with him to the theater where he worked.
The girl really liked to watch the process of rehearsals and performances. The singer remembered one incident. When she was 5 years old, her father took Alika to a rehearsal of one of the productions. After the rehearsal, Alik and his father sat in the dressing room. Then he went there Vladimir Semenovich Vysotskywho shared a room with the girl's dad.
Vysotsky, tired and wet, greeted Alika by the hand, and she felt that her palm was wet. The future singer asked Vladimir Vysotsky: “Why did you wipe your hand on me?” The artist looked at the girl in surprise and said: “Venka, she will grow up to be a beauty.”
Alika Smekhova studied at school number 31 with in-depth study of the English language, where she was friends with the children of celebrities.

The girl felt abandoned. And at the same time, it made her more independent.
Without the advice of her parents, Alika enrolled in a music and dance club. She attended a theater studio led by Vyacheslav Spesivtsev.
