Actress Ravshana Kurkova
The girl was named in honor of her uncle, who worked as a doctor. Initially it sounded like Ravshanoy, which translated means “clear moon”. The life of actors involved Ravshana in behind-the-scenes life and on film sets from childhood. Bahran and Rano did not want a similar fate for their daughter, setting her up for a more serious profession.
The girl experienced the rigor and regime of the old school in her grandmother’s upbringing, when the young mother went to Moscow to finish her studies. Ravshana Kurkova’s grandmother worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist. In caring for her granddaughter, a routine for walks was established and a limit was set for telephone conversations - 15 minutes a day.
Ravshana Kurkova in childhood
In high school, the girl invariably lived “under guard”: she had to come home early and go to bed no later than 10 pm. With such a daily routine, there was no time left for walks with friends and romantic relationships. I had to put my personal life aside and think only about my studies.
Ravshana's joy was her grandfather, who until the 5th grade took her hand to school, played chess, read interesting books to her, and told her fascinating stories. On warm evenings they looked at the starry sky and shared their dreams. Grandfather’s courageous and gentle attitude formed the ideal image of a man. Now, when choosing a life partner, a girl looks for that same image from childhood.

In addition to the strict regime, the girl developed complexes. She did not put up with her short hair and thinness. This continued throughout her childhood, but the girl did not yet know that she would grow up to be an elegant, slender brunette (weight no higher than 50-52 kg) with long hair and a height of 180 cm.
With the move to Moscow, Ravshana Kurkova went to a music school, where the last classes were taught in English. Preparations were made on the occasion of further admission to the University of London. The girl chose to stay in Russia. She received her higher education at the Faculty of Philology of the Pedagogical University. In addition to her main profession, Kurkova attended a course of directing lectures and studied acting with Tatyana Pyshnova.
Movies
The actress first starred in the film “The Secret of Ferns” by Rashid Malikov at the age of 12. After graduating from university, she worked as a make-up artist's assistant and director's assistant, where she often prepared tea and coffee for the actors. As a casting director, she organized screenings of actresses. Despite her participation in the lives of artists, Ravshana was drawn to the stage. After the talk show editor, the desire to return to the natural elements overcame the girl.

Acting and Personal life
Actress Ravshana Kurkova was born in Uzbekistan (1980) in the family of a theater actor and film actress. This mainly influenced her fate.
Filming in the films “Three Girls” and “Dead Daughters” brought Ravshana fame, after which the girl began to be invited to film by a variety of directors. For her role as Maya in Three Girls she was awarded the World Prize for Best Performance by an Actress. But the actress found stunning success after the release of the youth series “Barvikha,” where the girl played one of the main characters. Currently, the 35-year-old actress has a lot of roles to her name and expects a lot of filming in the future.
An oriental beauty with an interesting name, Ravshan, has never had a shortage of fans. For the first time, the actress walked down the aisle with Semyon Kurkov, whose last name she kept after the divorce. During her first pregnancy, Ravshana lost her child, and the relationship went wrong.
The next marriage with Artyom Tkachenko lasted for four years. Now the actress is doing great in her personal life together with the director of Glavkino Ilya Bachurin.
Personal life
The metropolitan actress is the standard of beauty according to modern criteria. However, as Kurkova herself claims, in Tashkent girls are judged by their wide bust and large hips. Thanks to the upbringing of her grandmother and mother, nobility and modesty attracted crowds of suitors. But study and career came first; Ravshana Kurkova’s personal life was at one time pushed back to “later.”
Ravshana Kurkova and Artem Tkachenko
The actress had her first experience of family life with photographer Semyon Kurkov, from whom she inherited her last name (formerly Matchanova). The acquaintance took place at a party. In the fifth month of pregnancy, the actress lost her child, which was the reason for the divorce.
In 2004, Ravshana married Artem Tkachenko. The union lasted 4 years. The reason for the divorce was the husband's nocturnal lifestyle and reluctance to have children. After breaking up, the couple maintains friendly relations. In 2012, in the film “May Rain,” the actors played themselves – former spouses. In the family movie “Children for Rent,” Kurkova and Tkachenko repeated the acting duet, this time playing the role of parents who swapped children for the sake of an experiment.

Eastern modest woman showed beautiful breasts
Unlike many of her colleagues, Ravshana KURKOVA, like a real oriental woman, has always been modest and has never been seen in candid photo shoots. And finally, the actress decided to please fans with her beauty: the singer posted a candid photo on Instagram in which she poses topless.
A spectacular black and white shot reveals an unexpected side to Ravshana: no one expected such frankness from her! The actress was wearing only tiny denim shorts; Kurkova chose to cover her bare breasts with her hands.
“No, this is not a shot for Maxim or Playboy magazine, this is an outgoing prop for today’s shooting day of “The Creators”!” — the actress signed the photo. Despite the fact that Ravshana looks great in the photo, many were disappointed by this photo.
- Ravshana, you were the only girl for me who did not show her body parts and was not naked in front of the camera. But apparently, this is show business,” wrote one of Kurkova’s fans. However, others were delighted with the photo and wrote the actress many pleasant compliments.

Ravshana and Ilya came together to the Cannes Film Festival and Kinotavr, holding hands, walked along the red carpet of the Moscow Film Festival, and are constantly seen at various social events.
