The name of Darya Borisovna Khmelnitskaya is familiar to the public not so much because of her personal achievements, but because she is the daughter of famous actors, great people of her era. The girl also tried herself in the cinema more than once, but then changed her occupation. What she is doing now and how her biography is developing, we will tell in the article.
Childhood
Daria Khmelnitskaya was born on 1978-31-01 in Moscow. Her father is People's Artist of the Russian Federation Boris Alekseevich Khmelnitsky, and her mother is Honored Artist of the RSFSR Marianna Aleksandrovna Vertinskaya.
When the girl was two years old, her parents decided to leave. The daughter stayed with her father, and her father's grandmother began to take an active part in her upbringing. Daria, as she herself later admitted, did not suffer because of the divorce of her mother and father, all her free time was occupied by circles and a music school.
The girl grew up very mobile, if not a hooligan. She studied poorly at school and often ran away from lessons. She could fight, because of which she was expelled many times. Dasha moved to another school, where everything was repeated again. As a result, Khmelnitskaya somehow received a triple certificate.
The role of a father
What brought joy to the girl's life was communication with her dad. Boris Alekseevich adored his daughter and spoiled her with his attention, constantly bringing whole suitcases of sweets and toys from foreign tours. For Daria, her father was a role model. She always followed him around and literally lived in his theatrical dressing room, where she amused herself by trying to put on makeup and making crafts from the leftover scenery blanks.
While dad was playing on stage, the girl wandered backstage and peeped from behind the curtain as the theatrical action unfolded. And at the end of the performance, little Dasha was often taken to the stage for a bow, and she was sure that the audience only applauded her.
The Khmelnitskys' house was often visited by guests, including quite famous ones, such as A. Vasiliev, V. Vysotsky. Together with Boris Alekseevich, they sang and played the guitar, composed new compositions. The girl watched with trepidation and she had no time to be bored.
