Yana Gupta

Our Czech born adorable Yana Gupta has set her sights beyond the camera now

Yana was recently in Chennai for the launch of Tommy Hilfiger’s Spring Summer Collection. She just announced something really surprising there.

Well Yana talked about her upcoming debut as a singer and writer. Wow! Now that’s what we call a SURPRISE!!!

Yan Gupta said “I have been making a music album and throughout last year I have been busy with some recordings. It’s almost ready to be released abroad.”

“I am also writing a book on nutrition and fitness and I am starting to represent some new brands, which is also fitness related. Apart from that I am also shooting some music videos,” Yana added.

And if music be the food of love, music is what Yana loves to feast on. “My album is in English and the music is jazz and blues,” she explains. That’s really a wonderful combo

And that’s not all that Yana is doing. She is also thinking of an idea that might go a long way in securing her career in the world of films even more.

Having done a few dance numbers in Tamil cinema, Yana is no stranger to the language, and the brave girl would like to try her hand at something different.

“I am even thinking that I should sing a song in Tamil and I think it’ll sound really cute what with my accent and all,” says Yana. Well, we would be really looking forward for that.

With our love to Yana, we wish all the best for her new projects. We all love you Yana

As most of us, the Yana Gupta fans, knows, Aftab Shivdasani is Yana Gupta’s boyfriend.

It recently happened that Aftab was to do his very first kissing scene in his film Red opposite Celina Jaitley. He was so nervous that he even stopped Yana Gupta from coming to the shooting sets that day. So what do you think, how would have Yana reacted to this issue?

Well, our brave and understanding Yana said “”I was supposed to drop in that day and I knew he was going to enact some hot scene. This was the very first time he was doing a kissing scene in any film and it’s quite natural that he would be conscious about it and not want his girlfriend around.” Yana continues “I’m happy he’s done it. It’s important to understand that this is an inseparable part of our profession and it would be only stupid to feel jealous; only people who are insecure about themselves and their relationship would feel threatened by a screen kiss.

You cant and don’t build a relationship based only on all this anyway, so why give it so much importance?”

Yana is happy about the way Aftab’s career is progressing, “Knowing Aftab, on an impulse he would have rejected doing the scene but it’s good for him as he is changing his image and this film finally shows him in a different light.

He’s shaved off his head, changed his look and is looking much different and is prepared for different roles. He is no more just the cute guy but a handsome man and this movie will put that across, and I definitely encourage him in every aspect.”

Wow!!!! Way to go Yana!!!! This is what we call Beauty with Brains.

We all love you and respect you Yana!

Super-Model and Bollywood actress Yana Gupta faces a unique problem while traveling by air. Very recently, she was stopped by officials at the Dhaka Zia International airport, Bangladesh for possession of suspicious objects. Suspicious as like drugs.

Actually the fact is that Yana is a health freak who always carry her soya protein mix while traveling. She is also an acupuncture expert who carries her acupuncture needles with her when she travels. The result is predictable. Lol…. She has often been questioned for possession of suspicious objects while traveling.

This is what Yana has to say about the matter

“I’m very health conscious and carry small dabbas of stuff like my soya protein and calcium powder which I mix. They look kind of weird and I’m always questioned for it. I also have small acupuncture needles which I bought from China, which look like tiny sharp objects in the X-ray machine.”

“It’s quite funny actually,” says Yana. “Every time I pack my bag I pray that I won’t be stopped. At the Dhaka Zia International airport, Bangladesh, last week, they opened my boxes and asked me what they contained. They thought it was drugs. But I asked the man to taste it and only then did he believe me and let me go. The same thing also happened to me in Dubai, where I was lucky to be let off easily as the rules pertaining to drugs are very strict there.”

As for the needles, Yana says they need a lot more convincing than the protein powders. In fact, she even had to do acupuncture on an airport official once to prove herself. “I was coming back from Kolkata, when a security man stopped me. I told him I was a doctor who uses them to treat patients. He scoffed at me saying they didn’t look like medicines. So I just stuck a needle into him and showed him. Thankfully I got back my needles as they are specially bought from China!” says Yana. That was very brave of Yana to stuck a needle into the security man. Ha Ha Ha…

Funny and unique problem!!!!

Anyways, hopefully these things will get sorted out.

And sorry about the title guys! Yana is a very good human being besides being a beautiful doctor No drug addict. Nowhere near such things either. GOD bless you Yana!!!

Yana Synkova was born at Brno, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). She began modeling in the mid-1990s. Her career took a turn toward the east when she married an Indian painter Satyakam Gupta whom she met over a cup of coffee. So she was now called and known as Yana Gupta.

Yana, who’s been modeling since the age of 16, has modeled for international clients like Calvin Klein and Victoria’s Secret. Her peaches and cream complexion and picture perfect looks has already made Yana a hot property on the ramp. She drew much attention in Europe. She even worked on brands like Nivea and Shiseido before settling in India, where her husband was based.

Now, Yana Gupta is an established model and an actress in Bollywood. Stunning model Yana came in spotlight after having replaced dusky beauty Bipasha Basu in the Bollywood movie “Dum” for the song ‘Babuji’ which made her famous for cameo item numbers.

Yana Gupta was named the new face for Lakme cosmetics in India in 2001, replacing its former model Lisa Ray. Word has it the company spotted her on the cover of the swimsuit issue of Man’s World. She literally swept men off their feet when she appeared on the cover of Man’s World, a high-profile lifestyle magazine a couple of years ago.

Yana comes across as a multi-faceted person who terms herself as a jack-of-all-trades. She can speak Japanese, Spanish, English and Hindi in bits and pieces, apart from her native Czech. Her varied interests lie in music (she used to play the flute and the piano), dancing, fitness and health, aerobics and computers.

Yana Gupta is a vegetarian. She is a member of PETA, and has been featured in its campaigns. And if you are wondering what makes Yana so beautiful? Well, Yana believes in eating healthy and getting her beauty sleep. She includes fruits and vegetables, and juices in her diet. One of her favorites among juices is carrot and beetroot juice. She also applies honey on her face. Ahh!! So that’s the secret.

Yana works out for an hour and a half every day, except when she is traveling or when she is on a day-long job. However, even then, she somehow manages to take out some time for exercise. You see such great physique doesn’t come that easy.

Yana is planning to launch her own music album, and she will write, compose the music and sing the songs, all by herself. All the songs will be in English, and she won’t be accepting any other offers till she is done with this project.

Yana recently signed up with a leading mobile and PC games company India Games as brand ambassador and will be featured in several interesting games and applications related to fitness, puzzles etc.

Yana’s idea of a perfect holiday is getting lost anywhere deep in the ocean or in the forests of Czech Republic; through the small towns, backpack in hand.

Presently, Yana is playing the role of a TV anchor on the countdown show “Mirch Masala” on ZoomTV where she dances to famous dance numbers.

God bless Yana Gupta and may she prosper more and more.
