Personal life
D’Cruz was born into a Goan Catholic family in Mahim, Mumbai, and raised partly in Mumbai and partly in Goa. Her family relocated to Parra, Goa when she was 10 years old. Her mother tongue is Konkani.
During that time, the manager of the hotel her mother was working in, suggested that she had a vibrant smile and should start modelling and fixed a meeting with Marc Robinson. Though initially reluctant, she was persuaded and her first portfolio was created in January 2003, which she described as a “disaster”. She began gaining notice through photo shoots and ramp shows and her second portfolio was set up the following year, which landed her three advertisements from Electrolux, Emami Talc and Fair & Lovely. The latter, in particular, which was directed by Rakesh Roshan, gave her exposure and brought in several offers for acting in feature films.
She is in a live in relationship with Andrew Kneebone, an Australian photographer. It is rumored that they both have already been married.

Below are some excerpts from Ileana’s story, in which she admits to having succumbed to the pressure of ‘looking perfect’, to make it big in the Hindi film industry.
Career
2005–2006
In 2005, D’Cruz was called for an audition by director Teja, but the project was canceled. She instead made her feature film debut in the Telugu language romance film Devadasu (2006), directed by Y. V. S. Chowdhary. She underwent acting classes with Aruna Bhikshu, before starting to work on the film. She recalls that during filming she felt “pressured almost cried and didn’t want to go further”, but went ahead after her mother encouraged her, giving her “the lecture of a lifetime at 3 am.” A review from Indiaglitz stated that she “has chiseled features and a figure to-die-for.” Devadasu became the year’s first major commercial success, eventually grossing around ₹140 million, whilst earning D’Cruz the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debutant. She next appeared in the gangster film Pokiri in which she portrayed an aerobics teacher, who is harassed by a corrupt police officer. The film was a high financial success, emerging as the highest-grossing Telugu film at the time.
Later that year she starred in the films Rechipo and Y. V. S. Choudary’s Saleem both of which performed poorly at the box office.
D’Cruz had 2 releases in 2011. Her first film that year was Shakti, where she essayed the lead female role. She gave a stage performance for this movie’s audio release function along with Jr. NTR, as part of the promotion of the film. The socio-fantasy film, the costliest Telugu film ever made at ₹ 250,000,000, Her next release was Nenu Naa Rakshasi, which marked her second collaboration with Puri Jagannadh. Though the film was a failure, her performance was received positively by critics; an Indiaglitz reviewer described her as a “pleasant surprise in the film” as she “cried, smirked, looked hot, grabbed sympathy and made faces that were apt to the scenes”, while cine goer’s reviewer cited that the film had “one bright spot, Ileana, she looks stunning and also like an accomplished senior to the hero.” Despite her recent failures, D’Cruz continued to be the highest-paid actress in South India.
2012–2013
In early 2012, she starred in the Kollywood film Nanban, a remake of the 2009 Hindi film 3 Idiots directed by S. Shankar. The film opened to critical acclaim and became a major financial success. Her next release was the Telugu film Julai. The film opened to positive reviews and became the third biggest hit in 2012 and the biggest hit in Telugu. She then starred in Puri Jagannadh’s comedy Devudu Chesina Manushulu. In this film, she played the role of a taxi driver. The film received mixed reviews and eventually underperformed at the box office.
She next appeared in the Rajkumar Santoshi action comedy film Phata Poster Nikhla Hero opposite Shahid Kapoor. The film released on 20 September 2013 to mixed reviews and the film was eventually declared a poor grosser at the box office. However, D’Cruz received mixed reviews for her performance, with the Times of India saying that she was “good with emotions but not so tuned into comedy yet.”

2014–2017
In April 2014 she gave a photoshoot for India’s well-known magazine Man’s World. Her first release of 2014 was Main Tera Hero alongside Varun Dhawan and Nargis Fakhri, produced by Balaji Motion Pictures. The film was a semi-hit. She then appeared in Saif Ali Khan’s maiden production Happy Ending where she played lead along Saif Ali Khan, Govinda, and Kalki Koechlin which released on 21 November 2014. The film met with negative reviews and was commercially unsuccessful.
After taking a sabbatical, in February 2016 she started Akshay Kumar‘s Rustom which released in August 2016. The film emerged as one of the highest Indian grossing films of 2016.
In 2017, her films Mubarakan starring opposite Arjun Kapoor and Anil Kapoor and Baadshaho starring opposite Ajay Devgn both failed to find an audience in the box office.
2018–present
D’Cruz’s first release of 2018 Raid, opened to positive critical and commercial feedback. After six years hiatus, she signed a Telugu film Amar Akbar Anthony starring opposite her frequent co-star Ravi Teja.

Life Journey
Woodgram presents the Full Story of a Defender nicknamed “The Quiet Humble Dane”.
Andreas Christensen’s biography includes a full account of his life from childhood to the present.
Andreas Christensen’s Biography includes details about his childhood, family, parents, lifestyle, wife (Katrine Friis), personal life, and much more.
Everyone knows about his humble looks, but few consider Andreas Christensen’s biography, which is quite fascinating. Let’s get started.
Life in the early years and family background
Andreas Christensen was born in Lillerod, Denmark, on the 10th day of April 1996. As a young child, he was raised by his mother, Tina Christensen, and his father, Sten Christensen, who was a former goalkeeper.
In Lillerod, Denmark, Andreas Christensen grew up in the town of Blovstrod along with his one and only brother Magnus. As a young child, he had a fascination for football, and his father convinced him to start playing a sport early in life.
His dad, Sten, puts it this way:
“As a matter of fact, I would say the first time I saw my son’s talent was when he was about seven or eight years old. The moment he had the ball at his feet, he wasn’t looking down, he was looking up.
When he was running with it, he had a special style that set him apart from others. During that time, I knew that my son had the potential to become a professional footballer.
Since then, I have driven him to his youth club five or six times a week for six years. Considering that it was a 90 km round trip, that was a lot of driving.
It was also nice for me to spend that quality time with my daughter as a father. It was also nice for me when I started coaching there as well.”
While Andreas Christensen was still very young, he played as a striker, a right-winger, and a left-back, among other positions.
It is still possible for him to play in a wide range of positions. One of his strengths is his ability to read the game. When he got good at it, he was good at it forever.
After eight years of playing for Brondby IF (2004-2012), Andreas managed to capture the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich thanks to his status as the most promising youth footballer in his region.
At the Brondby IF academy, he helped his team win both the FA Youth Cup and the UEFA Youth League during his time there.
It was Chelsea who acquired him as a result of their luck. Eventually, Christian Christensen signed for Chelsea on a free transfer on 7 February 2012, at the end of André Villas-Boas’ time as the club’s manager. He had spent six years at Reserves before moving to Chelsea.
The Danish player said: “I have chosen Chelsea because they play the kind of football that I enjoy.” The rest, as they say, is history.
The wife of Andreas Christensen: Would you like to know more about Katrine Friis?
Earlier this season, Andreas Christensen had a breakthrough season at Chelsea and was a mainstay in Chelsea’s defense with his impressive performances. This is also the year he got married to an attractive lady who can make him look like a completely different man off the pitch.
As the popular saying goes, behind every successful man is a woman, so sit back and let us take a moment to introduce you to the woman who makes Christensen smile.
Danish beauty Katrine Friis loves cheering on her boyfriend in the crowd at Stamford Bridge. She posts many photos of her gorgeous self in the stands or in a posh box.
When it comes to her support, there are no bounds, and WoodGram salutes her for being the ultimate cheerleader.
Additionally, she loves shopping and wearing bikinis. You should be allowed a shopping allowance when your boyfriend is a footballer. Andreas Christensen must give her a lot of money.
Katrine loves her bikini, and she’s not afraid to show off a bit of skin to tan all over. Katrine would surely be the first choice of casting directors for James Bond if she had a bikini body like hers.
She is one who loves to travel as she has been to Thailand, the Maldives, Greece, and even Denmark and France. Katrine and Andreas own a cool dog named Marley.
The Personal Life of Andreas Christensen away from Football
Speaking to the people who know Christensen best, there are two recurring themes.
He is almost stereotypically cool and calm, as the Danish national character is often depicted as being.
Strengths: Andreas is brave, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, and passionate.
Weaknesses of Andreas Christensen: His humble looks are often overlooked. During his youth, it appears that he was bullied.
He enjoys taking on leadership roles, physical challenges, individual sports, and playing in the pool with friends (Victor Moses, Gary Cahil, etc).
He dislikes inactivity, delays, and work that does not utilize one’s talents.
Andreas Christensen’s presence on the pitch marks the beginning of something exciting and turbulent.
In the Christensen family, patience may not be a virtue that runs strongly. Sten, Andreas’s father-manager, is a man who truly means what he says.
Andreas once threatened to leave Chelsea if he was not given regular and substantial playing time. Chelsea granted his wish.
Andreas Christensen spent most of his childhood with his dad, who he describes as follows;
He was a goalkeeper, a little bit crazy, and I’m probably more like my mother, more laid back. He stopped playing when I was born and I never saw him play, but I think he was pretty good.”
“with Peter Schmeichel going to Manchester United, Brondby bought my dad instead. Big shoes to fill. He always played in the best league in Denmark. So, I guess he was OK and I grew up with him as a coach.”
a local club was founded by him since we didn’t have a team. I played with boys who are one year older than me and I’ve grown up with that all the way to under-17.”
“He shouted at me more than the others did. At home, he would tell me stuff he did not want to tell the other boys.”
“So I grew up feeling pressure, not exactly, but your dad was a coach and he probably played a great role in what I’ve accomplished.”
It remains a family tradition that every member of his family must pick up at a young age and at a below-normal age.
Christensen began kicking a football at the age of two. When he was four, his dad had to lie about his age because in Denmark, you can’t start playing football until you’re five years old.
Andreas had a strong family unit, with his mother Tina and his younger brother Magnus supporting him as he strived to follow in his father’s footsteps.
At his first club, we told people he was five years old when he was only four. His first gig was at a little club in Nordsjaelland.
Andreas asked his dad when he was 10 if it was okay to train at a higher level at Brondby. His dad said yes and told him to go train there.
One of the coaches there, John Ranum, told him, “Okay, we see Andreas as a six, but we should teach him to defend, so we can put him down as a center-back.”.

In the photograph, a selfie taken by Hrithik, Saba is seen sitting on a bench looking away from the camera. Keeping her legs on the bench and holding them, she looked up with a serious expression on her face. Hrithik smiled as he looked at Saba. The photo was posted by Hrithik on the occasion of Karwa Chauth.

When Hrithik and Saba were spotted having dinner together in February of 2013, rumors started swirling surrounding their relationship. Saba later joined Hrithik’s family for a get-together. As a result of the two walking hand in hand at filmmaker Karan Johar’s 50th birthday party, the rumors came to an end.
As well as being an actor, Saba is also a singer. Her film credits include Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Shaandaar, and Karwaan. Her next film appearance will be in Songs of Paradise.

As part of her preparation for the role of Preity Sen in “Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge?” (2011), Saba was required to get a haircut in which her knee-length hair would be shaved off. This left her in tears. However, she ultimately liked the haircut and was satisfied with the results.
The electric duo Madboy/Mink has been performing together since 2012 and has performed in several cities throughout India. Imaad Shah announced in 2013 that the duo had been living together for a year and that their common interests led to their relationship.

As a vocal advocate for various social issues, Saba Azad participated in the Anti-CAA protests held in Shaheen Bagh in January 2020, where she performed alongside other artists. “We have heard that some people have a problem with Faiz Saab these days, so we will recite his nazm before reciting his poetry.”
In a recent interview with the media, actor-musician Saba Azad revealed why she chose her stage name, Saba Azad. She revealed that ‘Azad’ was her grandmother’s pen name and that her passport still bears her name as Saba Grewal.
“My passport indicates I am Saba Grewal. The father is of Sikh descent and the mother is of Muslim descent, but neither of them practices religion or imposes their opinions upon me. Azad is my nani’s pen name. I liked the sound of it as well as its meaning. The desire for freedom is a human instinct, so I adopted it as my stage name,” Saba Azad stated to the media.
Saba, who is originally from Delhi, described her formative years and said, “I’m from Delhi. I come from a family of academics and artists; I had a normal middle-class upbringing with a great deal of cultural exposure.

Gu grew up in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco. After attending Katherine Delmar Burke School for grades K-8, she attended San Francisco University High School. Gu traveled to Beijing every summer to attend cram school for mathematics. Her SAT score was 1580 out of 1600.
Gu graduated early from high school in 2021. Stanford University, her mother’s alma mater, granted her early admission in December 2020, and she began studying there in the fall of 2022.
At the 2018–19 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup, Gu represented the United States. Having requested a change of nation from the International Ski Federation in June 2019, she has competed for China since then. It was her goal to represent China at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
On Instagram, she announced the change, saying she hopes through skiing “to inspire millions of youths” in China and “to unite people, promote common understanding, foster communication, and form international friendships.”
Gu has declined to reveal her nationality. During a press conference during the 2022 Winter Olympics, Gu eluded six attempts by international reporters to clarify her nationality. Gu was born in the United States. As opposed to the United States, Chinese nationality law does not recognize dual citizenship.
A source informed the source that in order to qualify for the Chinese team, Gu would need to gain permanent residency status in China or become naturalized. However, naturalization is the only process that confers nationality and a passport as required by the sport governing bodies, not permanent residency.
As proof of her Chinese nationality acquired through naturalization in 2019, the Chinese Olympic Committee presented a copy of her Chinese passport to the International Olympic Committee. There is no evidence that she has given up her U.S. citizenship since if she had, her name would have appeared on the list of expatriates maintained by the United States government.
In an interview conducted in May 2022, Gu identified herself as an American. As Gu has stated in other interviews, “Nobody can deny that I am American, nobody can deny that I am Chinese,” and “In the U.S., I am American, but in China, I am Chinese.”
Eileen Gu is an Olympic skier from the United States who competes for China. At the time of this writing, Eileen Gu has a net worth of $22 million. At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Eileen made her debut on the world stage by winning a number of medals for the Chinese team, including two gold medals.

Prior to the games, Eileen signed dozens of endorsement agreements with brands around the world. She became the highest-paid athlete at the 2022 games as a result of these contracts. There will be more information about these deals later in the article.
As a result of her success and beauty, it is not surprising that Eileen Gu would be highly sought after as a model and product endorser. A total of 30 international and Chinese brands have signed endorsement contracts with her.
Prior to the 2022 games, she signed endorsement agreements worth $30 million with more than a dozen brands. It was common to see her face adorning the walls of subways, airports, and bus stops throughout China.
She has endorsement deals in the following categories:
Clothing
Cars
Luxury watches
Cosmetics
Banking
Insurance
Milk
House paint
Revenue Split By The Chinese Government
Eileen’s timing is fortunate. Athletes from the previous Chinese Olympic cycle were prohibited from having any endorsement deals.
Deals had to be approved AND the athletes were required to split their income with the government if they had deals. It is unclear whether Eileen splits her income.
Gu became the first woman in competition history to land a forward double cork 1440 in 2021.
Training
She joined The Wy’East Mountain Academy a training facility for Olympic skiers such as Nick Goepper and Alex Beaulieu.
The head of school at Wy’East Mountain Academy, Mike Hanley, reported that Gu’s mother paid for the coaching and travel. “These sports are very expensive. Most Americans request favors, but Yan was willing to pay, which is very unusual in the action sports industry. She paid for coaching and travel.”
The Woodward Tahoe Indoor Action Sports Hub trains next-generation athletes in snowboarding, freeskiing, skateboarding, BMX, freestyle mountain biking, and cheerleading.
A former action sports coach at Woodward Tahoe, Jamie Melton is the head coach of the Chinese National Slopestyle and Big Air Training Team. Gu has been coached by Melton since she was ten years old.
Brad Prosser, New Zealand coach – Prosser met Gu at the age of eleven. He was appointed technical coach guide of the Chinese national team in 2018.
In 2022, Gu will be coached by Misra Noto Torniainen, a former coach of the Swiss Freeski team. During the 2018 Winter Olympics, Torniainen coached Olympic medalists Sarah Höfflin and Mathilde Gremaud.
X Games
During the Winter X Games of 2021, Gu won a bronze medal in Big Air, a gold medal in SuperPipe, and a gold medal in Slopestyle, becoming the first rookie to win a gold medal in Women’s Ski SuperPipe, the first rookie to medal in three events, and the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal.
World Championships
He won two gold medals in the Freeski Halfpipe and Freeski Slopestyle events as well as a bronze medal in the Freeski Big Air event at the FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships 2021.
Gu became the first freeskier to win two gold medals at the FIS Freeski World Championships. Having fractured a finger and torn the UCL in her thumb, she competed without poles for the first time.
During the 2022 Winter Olympics, Gu won the first big air event ever held at the Olympics, becoming the youngest gold medalist in freestyle skiing. Her first attempt in the competition resulted in a double cork 1620.
She was the second woman to land the trick and the first woman to land a left-turn 1620; Tess Ledoux first successfully completed a double cork 1620 at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado on 21 January 2022, and landed it again at the 2022 Winter Olympics in the big air final on 21 January 2022.
In the slopestyle event, Gu won the silver medal. During the women’s halfpipe competition, she won a second gold medal, becoming the first freestyle skier to win three medals at a Winter Olympics. At the 2022 ESPY Awards, she received the Best Breakthrough Athlete and Best Female Action Sports Athlete awards.
World Cup results
During the 2021-2022 World Cup season, Gu finished with a perfect record in the women’s halfpipe, winning the first crystal globe of her career and becoming the first freestyle skier to win four consecutive World Cup competitions.
The same season, she won her second crystal globe, placing first in Park & Pipe.
Gu has been the face of several brands in China even before the start of the 2022 Winter Olympics. At least 23 brands are represented by Gu in China, including those in the sports, fashion, and banking industries. According to marketing expert Jerome Lau, “Gu can serve as a bridge between brands and Chinese consumers.”
As a leading sports star in China, Gu has earned over $30 million in endorsements and advertising contracts. Media reports indicate that her average fee for endorsements increased from $1 million in 2021 to $2 million to $2.5 million in 2022.
The agency representing Gu is IMG Models. The Chinese editions of Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Marie Claire, V, L’Officiel, and Vogue have all featured her on their covers.
As a brand ambassador for Fendi, Gucci, IWC Schaffhausen, Tiffany & Co., and Louis Vuitton, Gu has been featured in campaigns for Western luxury brands. In addition to being a member of Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective, she is also sponsored by Red Bull.
Since the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings and the killing of Vicha Ratanapakdee, Gu has spoken out against anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. An anti-Asian racist shouted obscenities at her and her grandmother in a store about “Asians infecting America” with COVID-19, as she described it in her own account.
Gu supports the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as Roe v. Wade, stated at an Aspen Ideas Festival that he thought of his friends, peers, and himself as young female athletes and the amount of time and effort they put into their work and training, and that “taking a season off or taking a year off to carry an unwanted pregnancy will absolutely destroy our career and our ambitions.”
Gu has largely refrained from commenting on social and political issues pertaining to China, including its human rights record. Gu’s agent, Tom Yaps, told The Economist that Gu’s mother, Yan Gu, feared that if Eileen participated in an article that was critical of China and human rights, her career would be destroyed.
The athlete and model Eileen Gu is a 20-year-old American-Chinese. In the 2022 Beijing Olympics, she became the first freestyle skier to win three medals, two gold, and one silver.
A Chinese mother and an American father raised Eileen in San Francisco, California. Yan Gu is the daughter of a former Chinese government official, who is an immigrant from China. In addition to being a former speed skater and ski instructor at Peking University, she has worked as a venture capitalist between California and China as well as for investment banks in the United States.
In view of the Winter Olympics 2022, Gu has been deferred admission to Stanford University after graduating from San Francisco University High School with a high SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test for American High School Graduates) score of 1580.
Her mother’s dream was for Eileen to be able to ski, which is why she enrolled in ski school in Lake Taho when she was nine years old.
It was in Italy in 2019 that she tasted her first world cup victory. She then posted on her Instagram account that she had become a naturalized Chinese citizen and would represent China at the Winter Olympics in 2022.
During the Lausanne 2020 Winter Olympics, she won two gold medals in the big air and halfpipe events as well as a silver medal in slopestyle.
On her debut at the Winter X Games in 2021, she earned two gold medals in the superpipe and slopestyle categories and one bronze medal in the big air category, making her China’s first Winter X Games champion.
Her journey through the 2020-2021 season was portrayed in a documentary series on Red Bull TV entitled Everyday Eileen. It documents her triumph at the World Championships, where she competed despite a fractured finger and a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
After winning the halfpipe and slopestyle events at the 2021 International Ski Federation’s Freeski and Snowboard World Championships in Aspen, she became the only athlete to win two gold medals.
At Mammoth Mountain in the United States, she participated in the International Ski Federation Freestyle Ski World Cup and won two events.
Throughout the season, she was undefeated in the women’s halfpipe, winning four of four contests.
During the season, she placed second in the women’s Freeski slopestyle.
During the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022, Eileen was named the poster girl for the women’s Freeski big air event, in which she claimed her first gold medal. For her final performance, she performed a left double 1620, the biggest and highest-scoring trick, involving four and a half revolutions in the air and shifting twice from the axis. It was the first time she performed this trick and she had never performed it during practice.
As a result of her win in the women’s Freeski slopestyle on 15 February 2022, she became the second woman to win a silver medal at the Winter Olympics.
Aside from her outstanding athletic abilities, Eileen has a luxury fashion model appearance. Currently, she is a professional model for IMG Models, the agency that represents international models such as Bella Hadid, Kate Moss, and Hailey Bieber.
With her ability to gracefully handle the topic of her nationality and ethnicity and her ability to maintain a robust fan following in both the nations that she represents, she has established herself as a highly bankable model, appealing to brands in both Asia and the West.
A number of major Western brands have signed contracts with her, including Louis Vuitton, Victoria’s Secret, Tiffany & Co., and luxury Swiss watchmaker IWC, as well as cosmetics company Estée Lauder.
She has become one of the most heavily sponsored athletes at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022, with over 20 commercial partnerships.
She has been invited to numerous A-list fashion shows, including Paris Fashion Week, Louis Vuitton’s front row, and the Met Gala.
Her fluency in Mandarin and her knowledge of Chinese culture and customs, which she acquired while visiting the country with her mother and grandmother most summers of her life, has also made her popular in China.
Known as Gu Ailing in China, she has been dubbed the “Snow Princess,” which enhances her brand value. A black jacket embroidered with a golden dragon was displayed on her race bib as she discussed her performance in the qualifier round of the big air event with reporters. She explained that she designed the jacket using Chinese elements. Her endorsements range from Chinese television ads to billboards to milk cartons as the face of Inner Mongolia’s Mengniu Dairy. Additionally, she has modeled for brands such as China Mobile, JD.com, Bank of China, etc.
Additionally, she has been featured in a number of top magazines in China, including GQ and Elle. On the cover of Vogue Hong Kong, she stated, “The fashion industry has helped me balance my training.”.
Considering the dualities of her nationality and career, she commented on Instagram that it is a quality she has found herself embracing time and time again as she displays different facets of herself in different environments (athlete, model, student, Chinese, American, teenager, writer, public persona, etc.). Every coder switches, and I believe it is important that we acknowledge that multifaceted nature.”
On 18 February 2022, she won her second gold at the Beijing Winter Olympics, topping the podium in the halfpipe final at Zhangjiakou’s Genting Snow Park, becoming the first freestyle skier to win three medals at a single competition. The athlete reacted by saying, “I feel like this all came together, years and years in the making, and it’s like releasing a deep breath when it all came together. Despite being exhausted from skiing every single day from the opening ceremony until now, I feel at peace. I am grateful. I am passionate, and I am proud.
Due to all the questions regarding her nationality, she attracted controversy. She was born and raised in San Francisco, California, USA, but represented her mother’s home country China in 2019. Despite China not allowing dual citizenship, she has not officially given up her US citizenship and will join Stanford University after the Winter Olympics in 2022. In response to the numerous questions regarding her nationality, she has given diplomatic statements such as being Chinese in China and American in the USA. On one hand, Chinese fans are proud of her for reconnecting with her Chinese heritage, but on the other, US citizens have called her thankless. Fox News has called her the “ungrateful child of America.”
Once again, the 19-year-old was caught in the middle of a controversy when one of her Instagram followers asked her why she was getting preferential treatment in China, where Chinese citizens are not allowed to use Instagram. To the comment, she replied that everyone can download VPN (an illegal method to circumvent the firewall boundaries set by the government) and use Instagram in China. A screenshot of this conversation went viral on Weibo (China’s version of Instagram). Posts with the comment started showing blank screens immediately after the Chinese government took action.

Controversies
After the gossipy tidbits about her supposed undertaking with Akshay Kumar, she and Akshay Kumar commonly chose not to cooperate post-Waqt.
After she shared her photo on the cover of Maxim India where the actor looked flawless, it went viral, not because of her beauty but her armpits that many thoughts looked photoshopped without any underarm wrinkles.
She had a twitter battle with comedian Tanmay Bhat after he mocked her accent just like many others on social media. “When I say @priyankachopra’s name in my head I now automatically pronounce it like “Priyaaaanka Chopruh”,” he tweeted.
On 1 June 2018, in an episode of the International TV show ‘Quantico,’ Priyanka played the role of an anti-terrorist officer who stopped a nuclear attack in Manhattan just a few days before an India-Pakistan summit. During her investigations, she finds a “Rudraksha” rosary, a religious Hindu symbol on the neck of a suspect to carry out the attack that was devised by Indian nationalists to frame Pakistan in a nuclear terror attack. This stirred controversy as most of the Indians slammed Priyanka for tarnishing the image of India globally. As a measure to control the outrage, she took to her Twitter handle and apologized.
Later in 2003, she starred in the love triangle ‘Andaaz’, alongside Akshay Kumar. Her role in this movie was noted for the glamour quotient she added to the film. In 2004, she starred in the romantic comedy, ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ which proved to be a big commercial success. The same year, she also starred in the thriller ‘Aitraaz’, portraying her first role as an antagonist and received much critical acclaim for her performance.
In 2005, she appeared in two successful ventures, ‘Waqt: The Race Against Time’ and ‘Bluffmaster’. In 2006, she starred in the superhero film ‘Krrish’, and the action-thriller ‘Don’. Both the films were declared worldwide box-office successes. In the following years, she appeared in several movies including ‘Big Brother’ (2007), ‘Love Story 2050’ (2008), and ‘Drona’ (2008).
In late 2008, she appeared in the movie ‘Fashion’, a drama about the Indian fashion industry. Both, the film and her performance received much appreciation from the critics. She followed this with the comedy ‘Dostana’ which was also a financial success. In 2011, she starred as a femme fatale in black comedy ‘7 Khoon Maaf’ which garnered her much acclaim from critics.
In 2012, she starred in ‘Barfi!’, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Ileana D’Cruz. Her performance received rave reviews and the film proved to be a major commercial success. The same year, her first international single, ‘In My City’, also debuted, featuring rapper William. In 2013, apart from starring in the hugely successful movie ‘Krrish 3’, she also did two item numbers, ‘Babli Badmaash Hai’ and ‘Ram Chahe Leela’ which became chartbusters.
In 2013, her second single titled ‘Exotic’ was released, featuring American rapper Pitbull in the music video. Her third single, a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’ was released the following year. In 2014, she appeared as the main lead in ‘Mary Kom’, a biographical film about the five-time female world boxing champion and Olympic bronze medalist, Mary Kom.

FAQs
How did Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra meet?
The couple meets at an Oscars after-party—and Nick gets on one knee. Both stars attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party separately, but when Jonas saw Priyanka headed in his direction, he got down on one knee “in front of a bunch of people” and said, “You’re real.
Who is richer Nick or Priyanka Chopra?
While both Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are quite wealthy, it seems as though Mrs. Jonas might be worth slightly more than her husband. A recent report claims that Chopra’s net worth is around $28 million (combining her Bollywood movie earnings along with her Hollywood salary) while Jonas’s is around $25 million.
Is Priyanka Chopra’s career over in Bollywood?
Her successive outings in Hollywood seem timed. This was bound to happen in an industry where racism remains an undertone and not many from the Asian subcontinent have been able to penetrate the glass ceiling. It was amid this scenario that Priyanka was expected to create her own space. While no-one can deny her effort (and a subsequent blast of fame), ultimately, her choice of films and cancellation of her show brings her at crossroads. Bollywood has been unforgiving to actresses on the threshold of 40 and Priyanka is slowly inching towards that phase. In terms of age, she is only two years younger than Kareena Kapoor Khan, but while Kareena can take it easy in matters related to her career, the same cannot be said about the competitive Priyanka. She has now become a producer and has confined herself to producing only regional films, but it won’t be too far fetched to assume a feature film in Hindi is on its way under her own banner.
Which is Priyanka Chopra’s best film? Why?
Undoubtedly one of the most entertaining films of Priyanka Chopra’s career is Kaminey, this Indian caper features the actress alongside Shahid Kapoor and Amol Gupte in a tale set over one day involving drugs, corruption, racial injustice, and politics. Set against the backdrop of the Mumbai criminal underworld, this stylish, clever, and innovative film has sparks of genius that, through humor and violence, reminds of Tarantino or Scorsese.

Though several critics found her to be disappointed for her role, Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama mentioned her performance as “fantastic”.
Despite mixed critical reception, Super 30 was one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2019, earning over ₹1.5 billion (US$22 million) in India and ₹2.08 billion (US$30 million) worldwide.
Later that year, Thakur was cast opposite John Abraham in Nikkhil Advani’s action thriller Batla House. It was based on the Batla House encounter case held on September 2008 and narrated the story of a police officer Sanjay Kumar (played by Abraham) who played a crucial role in the case.
Thakur played Nandita Kumar, a journalist and Sanjay’s wife. Her performance met with generally positive reviews from critics, and the film proved to be her second consecutive box office success, earning more than ₹1 billion (US$14 million) domestically.

FAQ’s
Do You Think Kristen Wiig Looks Beautiful?
Finding Someone Beautiful Or Not Always Depends Upon A Person’s View. This 47-year-old Personality Is Well-known For Her Career As An Actress, Comedian, And Writer. In My Perspective, She Is A Beautiful Woman Who Is Very Versatile And Shapes Herself In Ways Her Role Demands. I Do Not Consider Kristen Wiig The Most Beautiful Lady Of The World, However, She Is Beautiful Enough.
Will Kristen Wiig As Cheetah Steal The Show In Wonder Woman 2?
None Of Us Know If She Will Steal The Show Or Not. Wonder Woman 1984 Director Patty Jenkins Will Most Likely Keep The Spotlight On Gal Gadot, The Actress Portraying Wonder Woman. However, That’s Not To Say That Wiig’s Natural Charm And Talent Won’t Come In Handy When Playing The Archnemesis Of Themyscira’s Most Powerful Champion. Kristen Wiig Has Been A Big Name In The Comedy Scene, Having Had Prominent Roles In Multiple Blockbuster Movies. Her Resume Includes Movies Like Bridesmaids, Despicable Me, How To Train Your Dragon, Zoolander 2, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. Now While Not Each Movie In That List Is A Blockbuster Smash, That’s A Hell Of A-List To Be Involved With. Wiig’s Roles In Acting Stretch As Far Back As 2000, For A Total Of 19 Years In The Scene.
Was SNL’s Worst Era When Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg, Will Forte, And Jason Sudeikis Were Part Of The Cast?
If It Wasn’t For That Era, I Would Never Have Watched The Show. Wiig Changed My Life As An Actor. I Have Been Raised, Had Some Decent Roles In Some Low Budget Films And Was Part Of A Comedy Sketch Group In Hollywood With Weekly Live Shows But Something Had Been Missing For Me And It Clicked After Staring Kristen And Her Approach To Her Marks On SNL. Now I Seem To Have No Limits To The Characters I Can Inhabit Whereas Before I Had Trouble As I Tried To Be That Character Or Act Like Them. Now I Let The Character Do The Work. The Other Cast Members During That Time Much Like Wiig Are Not Trying To Be Funny Or Stupid. They Are Being Clever And Respectfully Acting The Same As They Would If That Character Was In A Drama.
Does Kristen Wiig Have Emotional Breakdowns In Real Life, The Same Way Many Of Her Famous Characters Do?
She Happens To Play Those Kind Of Parts Really Well, So She Gets Hired To Do More Of Them. It Doesn’t Mean That She Has Those Traits In Real Life – In Fact, Having Real Traits Like That Sometimes Make Them Harder To Portray, Because We Are “Inside” Them And Can’t See Them Clearly.

Anurag Kashyap Career
As a 19-year-old student of zoology at Delhi’s Hansraj College, I had no desire to be a filmmaker. Till I watched Bicycle Thieves, a 1948 Italian film directed by Vittorio De Sica, at a film festival in Delhi in 1993. After the film got over, I decided to chuck it all and leave bag-and-baggage for Bombay to be a filmmaker.

After the de Sica experience, Kashyap arrived in Mumbai in 1993 with INR 5,000 in his pocket. Soon the money ran out, and he spent months on the streets, staying in lofts, “sleeping on beaches,” “under a water tank and in the St Xavier’s [college] boys hostel. He then managed to find work at Prithvi Theatre, but his first play remained incomplete because the director died.
Anurag Kashyap As Writer and director
The 1990s
In 1995, an acquaintance introduced Kashyap to Shivam Nair. The day they met, Kashyap watched Taxi Driver (1976) at Nair’s place, and the film inspired him to “write something”. The team of Sriram Raghavan, Sridhar Raghavan, and Shiv Subramaniam were working on two projects, one of which was a short TV series, Auto Narayan, based on the life of serial killer Auto Shankar; the second one was a film scripted by Kashyap. Auto Narayan got delayed because the script written by Subramaniam was not “working”.

Kashyap rewrote the script and got credit for the same, but it was scrapped. In 1997, he wrote the screenplay of Hansal Mehta’s first film, Jayate which failed to find a theatrical release; and episodes of the TV series Kabhie Kabhie (1997).
Due to his desire to become a scientist, Kashyap went to Delhi for his higher studies and enrolled himself into a zoology course at the Hans Raj College (University of Delhi); he graduated in 1993. He then eventually joined a street theatre group, Jana Natya Manch; and did many street plays. The same year, his couple of friends “urged to catch a de Sica retrospective” at the International Film Festival of India. In ten days, he saw 55 films at the festival, and Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves was the film that influenced him the most.
The 2000s
While working with Nair, Kashyap came across files related to the Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders that took place in Pune in 1976, which became the inspiration for his directorial debut Paanch. A crime thriller about a group of five friends of a rock band who turn into criminals. The film faced trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification because the board felt that it dealt unapologetically with sex, drugs and celebrated violence. It was cleared by the Board in 2001 but remains unreleased due to some problems faced by the producer. In these years, he also wrote dialogues for many films including Paisa Vasool (2004), Mani Ratnam’s Yuva (2004), the Canadian film Water (2005), Main Aisa Hi Hoon (2005) and Mixed Doubles (2006).
After a failed attempt to make Allwyn Kalicharan in 2003, Kashyap started working on Black Friday (2007), a film based on the namesake book by Hussain Zaidi about the 1993 Bombay bombings. The Bombay high court put a stay on the release of the film until the judgment in the bomb blasts case was delivered. It was decided after a petition filed by a group of 1993 bomb blasts accused, challenging the release of the film based on their case. The film got censorship clearance in 2007 and was released after two years of meeting universal acclaim. Nikhat Kazmi gave the film a three-star out of five ratings and mentioned it.
“It was indeed a difficult film to make, yet the director has managed to grapple with all the loose threads and put them together in a composite whole. So much so, the film moves like a taut thriller, without ideology coloring the sepia frames.”
The same year, Kashyap adapted Stephen King’s short story “Quitters, Inc.” into No Smoking. A surrealistic thriller about a chain-smoker who gets trapped in the maze of a person who guarantees will make him quit smoking. The film starring John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey and Paresh Rawal in the leads with music by Vishal Bhardwaj, premiered at the Rome Film Festival.
No Smoking received an overwhelmingly negative reception and failed at the box-office. CNN-IBN’s Rajeev Masand called it a “colossal disappointment”.His final release of the year was Return of Hanuman, an animation film about adventures of the Hindu god Hanuman.
In 2009, Kashyap had two releases. Dev.D, a contemporary take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel Devdas. It was the twelfth film adaptation of the Bengali novel. Starring Abhay Deol who actually pitched the original idea of the film to Kashyap, with Mahie Gill and newcomer Kalki Koechlin portraying the characters of “Paro” and Chandramukhi respectively. The film met with generally positive reviews and strong box office results. Gulaal, a political drama, was his final release of that year.
Kashyap started working on the film in 2005 and had finished 70–80 percent of the film in 2006 when its producer fell ill. Later on, Zee Motion Pictures took over the project and was finally finished in 2008 and released on 13 March 2009. Anupama Chopra gave the film three stars and referred to Kashyap as “the Anti-Yash Chopra”. Despite positive reviews, the film underperformed at the box office.
The 2010s
Mumbai Cutting (2010), an anthology film, was his next directorial venture. It consisted of eleven short films made by eleven directors. He directed one of the short films. It premiered at the 2008 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.
In 2011, Kashyap directed That Girl in Yellow Boots, a thriller starring Kalki Koechlin who also co-wrote the film with him. The film was screened at many festivals including the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, 67th Venice International Film Festival, Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles and the London Indian Film Festival. Shot in thirteen days, the film was released in September 2011.

Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars, praising the character-driven film and the portrayal of its lead alongside the city compared to most Hindi films: ” a film like this provides a radically different view of India than you can find in the pleasures and excesses of Bollywood”.
In 2012, Kashyap came up with his ambitious directorial venture Gangs of Wasseypur, which screened at the 2012 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, London Indian Film Festival, Toronto film festival and the Sundance Film Festival in 2013. The film with an ensemble cast was a two-part crime saga centered on the coal mafia of Dhanbad with the story spanning from the early 1940s to 2009.
The first part was released on 22 June, and the second on 8 August 2012, both receiving appreciation from Indian and international critics alike. The combined budget of the two films allowed it to be a box-office success.
In 2013, Kashyap directed That Day After Everyday, a 20-minute short film that was released on YouTube; starring Radhika Apte, Geetanjali Thapa, and Sandhya Mridul. It showed the story of three working women facing troubles every day, both inside and outside their houses and how they overcome them. Dealing with issues like eve-teasing and public molestation, the video got four lakh hits in two days.
Speaking about the purpose of the project, Kashyap showed his intention to make people feel angry without offering a solution. The same year he teamed up with Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, and Karan Johar to direct “Murabba”, one of the four segments of anthology film Bombay Talkies. It was made to celebrate the 100 years of Indian cinema and was screened at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The film did not perform well at the box office but was well-received by critics.
His next film was Ugly (2014), a thriller about the kidnapping of a struggling actor’s daughter, and the events followed by it. It was screened in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, receiving a standing ovation. The film’s theatrical release was halted for over a year regarding censorship issues over the depiction of smoking in it. Though it was released on 26 December 2014 to generally positive reviews.
Kashyap’s next release was Bombay Velvet (2015), a period film set in Bombay in the 1960s, based on Princeton University Historian Gyan Prakash’s book Mumbai Fables. It stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Karan Johar. The film was co-edited by the Academy Award-winning editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who is known for her collaboration with Martin Scorsese.

Released on 15 May 2015, the film opened to mixed to negative reception; while critics appreciated its retro-look, performances, styling, and music, they criticized its faltered storytelling. It also emerged as a box-office failure. Bombay Velvet was Kashyap’s dream project and its failure was a huge disappointment to him. In an interview with critic Rajeev Masand, Kashyap stated that at one point he wanted to leave India because he felt that people here did not understand his films but then realized that he did not manage the budget of the film.
In 2016, Kashyap co-wrote and directed Raman Raghav 2.0, a thriller based on the notorious serial killer Raman Raghav. It starred Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the title character along with Vicky Kaushal. The film premiered at the 2016 Sydney Film Festival and the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, in the Director’s Fortnight section to a positive response.
