This made them no less striking, and their intensity did not fade with time, becoming the focal feature she was recognised for.Īn active child, Elyana was a rambunctious tyke from the moment she could walk. Many had expected Aemon's children to inherit his piercing violet eyes, but Elyana's were as blue as could be. In every respect an average child, only her beauty surpassed expectation. Where Lady Gael Targaryen has been recognised as the diplomatic facet of Visenya's council, delivering the warmth and geniality of the Queen, it is Elyana that protects her political interests with fearsome zeal.īeloved as a firstborn daughter, Elyana's early years were simple and wholesome in her native Starfall. Kindness can be quick to turn to ire, and gossip runs rampant on her heels. It takes few souls long however to discern the cunning intricacies webbing the personality beneath, or to learn of the volatile temper that seems to have constant kindling under the surface. Above all else does she value her social status, and cultivates it as one would wealth. Outwardly gregarious and owing to a naturally warm nature, Elyana has never struggled to find friends. There has not yet been an occasion where she did not wholly embrace the finest jewelries of silks, and despite her pious nature is partial to the styling of her Dornish homeland. Tall and lithe, the Lady of Summerhall is devoted to maintaining an appearance crafted in the shadow of the Silver Queen.
The rest of her countenance lacks any true sharpness, remaining full and soft even against the test of time. Much like her father it is Elyana's eyes that serve as the most immediately alluring facet of her appearance yet unlike his, hers are a deep blue hue that contrast strikingly against fair features.
True to her Dayne heritage, the tan of her skin is muted and the blonde of her hair is naturally flaxen. Being a producer is tough, but it is an enriching experience.Largely does Elyana possess the typical Stony Dornish cast. The entire process of making a film starts at least two years before the film’s actual theatrical release. I was involved in all stages of the filmmaking process. For a change I was not just restricted to emoting on camera and then going back to my vanity van after the shot. I turned producer in 2018 (with Soorma) and it was an enriching experience for me.
‘Satisfying to be involved in filmmaking’ While there is enough work for all of us right now- there is also pressure of getting good work and staying visible. I believe in pushing my creative boundaries. I wanted meaningful and meatier roles, so I chose to wait for the right opportunity and started writing (she’s currently writing scripts) instead. There was a time when I was offered only glam roles which I wasn’t keen on doing. Sometimes we are simply not fortunate to get the kind of roles we want to do. As an actress I can only select from the films that I have been offered. I have always been selective about the kind of films I have done. It is important for everyone to follow some kind of fitness regimen - be it yoga or even brisk walking. I do 45 minutes to one hour of cardio every day and sometimes go cycling in the evening.
On the fitness front, I have begun doing more strength training and multi-gym workout. We have seen some interesting faces and smart content on OTT platforms this year. I think OTT is a great way to reach out to the Hindi speaking diaspora across the globe. The pandemic has redefined the way we are consuming entertainment and our viewing habits have undergone a massive change. We are now medium agonistic and content creation is no longer reserved for big screens. While work has slowed down (a chunk of the first half of the year was spent in lockdowns), there have been new learnings too. Professionally speaking, 2021 has been a satisfying year. Chitrangda Singh tells us how 2021 has been to herĬhitrangda best known for her outings in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Desi Boyz, Yeh Saali Zindagi and Baazar, says the pandemic made her realise the importance of finding happiness in small things in life (she even started painting), focus on wellness with regular workouts, healthy meals and sleep schedules and not to worry about her “next project”.
