Education
In her childhood, Vera Bakhankova, whose films the whole country knows and loves, did not even dream of becoming an actress. She wanted to become a doctor or a teacher. But the older she got, the more artistic she became. At first, she and her sister began to stage skits for their relatives.
Soon they began to enroll in various circles. So, the girls attended not only ballroom and modern dancing, but also acrobatics and pop vocals. In addition, Vera and her sister also participated in the basketball section and art school.
Such a variety of circles led to the fact that the girl was finally able to decide what profession she would like to get in the future. The acting profession interested her throughout her life.
After graduating from school, Vera Bakhankova, whose photos are presented in this article, went to the Russian capital to enter a theater university. Her sister followed her.
But the girls failed to get in the first time. Having failed the exam, Vera and her sister decided not to return to their hometown, but to try again to prepare and pass the exams. They rented an apartment and got a job. Most often they spent holidays and corporate events. After all, usually such events did not pay much, so famous artists did not undertake this.
It was only in 2008 that Vera Bakhankova and her sister successfully passed the exams and became students at VGIK. They ended up in the group of Alexander Mikhailov, who discovered all the wisdom of acting for the girls.

In the same 2010, immediately after the end of filming in “Doctor Tyrsa,” Lyubov and Vera Bakhankov received an offer to star in another project called “Nanolove.” The aspiring actresses learned from their classmates that the film directors were looking for main characters who would be similar to each other. When Lyuba and Vera came to the casting, the creators of “Nanolove” were incredibly happy.

During the audition, the directors became convinced that the Bakhankov sisters were not only similar, but also talented. The girls quickly grasped everything that was required of them.
