3rd June 2023, Mumbai: Once again, Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life is in the news, and the internet is awash with jokes and remarks. When a picture of them at a New York club surfaced online in September of last year, rumours started to circulate that he was dating supermodel Gigi Hadid. There were rumours that he was dating model Eden Polani, 19, back in February. When DiCaprio and Hadid were spotted dining together in May, the dating rumours gained momentum. When the 48-year-old actor was sighted in London with Indian-British model Neelam Kaur Gill and his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, the dating scenario, however, took a turn for the worse. (Who is Neelam Kaur Gill, and is she currently dating Leonardo Di Caprio? Let’s look at five fascinating facts about Neelam Gill, the mysterious girl.)
A British-Punjabi model, Neelam Kaur Gill was born in London in 1995 and is now 28 years old. Her grandparents are from Punjab, India; her parents, who were born in the UK, are the offspring of immigrants who came from India.
When Neelam signed a contract with the modelling firm NEXT Model Management at the age of just 14, she began her modelling career. Since then, she has had a notable impact on the business. She made history a decade ago by being the first Indian model to appear in a Burberry ad. Neelam Gill is still a well-known figure in the fashion industry thanks to her unique blend of British and Punjabi ancestry. She met Leonardo while both were attending the Cannes Film Festival to watch the premiere of his movie, Killers of the Flower Moon.
Neelam made a memorable presence at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre’s launch in Mumbai as well. Her journey includes walking the runway for Dior’s debut show in India, an experience the proud Punjabi girl treasured greatly.
Neelam Gill recently revealed that she had no contact with her real father and that her parents divorced when she was a little child. She was instead nurtured by her mother and stepfather, who were very influential in her development. Neelam’s journey was formed by the love and encouragement she received from her stepfather and mother, who gave her the attention and direction she need. Neelam didn’t have a relationship with her biological father, but she found support and stability in her blended family, emphasising the value of those who had supported her all along the way.
Neelam Kaur Gill has appeared in prestigious publications like Vogue and endorsed prestigious companies like Burberry. She has attended prominent events thanks to her talent, such as the Cannes Film Festival, where she recently made a breathtaking entrance.
