Meet actress, who became a star 24 years ago, one mistake ruined her career, quit Bollywood to become a monk, name is..., Aamir Khan was her... Gracy Singh, best known for Lagaan , was one of the most popular names in Bollywood. She collaborated with many stars such as Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, and Amitabh Bachchan. She began her acting career with 1997 television serial Amanat . Later, in 2001, she ventured into films and gave a breakthrough performance in Ashutosh Gowariker's L agaan: Once Upon a Time in India. The film was written and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, and bankrolled by Aamir Khan. The film was a blockbuster and became the third Indian film to be nominated for the Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language category, after Mother India and Salaam Bombay. Gracy's sweet and innocent portrayal was widely appreciated alongside Aamir Khan. Moreover, Lagaan had 8 wins, and became the most-awarded film at the 47th Filmfare Awards. Thereafter, Gracy Singh starred in superhit films like Munna Bhai MBBS and Gangaajal. Despite receiving immense love from the audiences, she couldn't build a stardom for herself. The biggest mistake of her career was starring in KRK's Deshdrohi, which failed to impress fans and turned out to be a biggest box office disaster. After giving consecutive flops in Bollywood, Grace started acting in Tamil, Telugu Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Bengali films. She couldn't experience success there either. In 2013, Gracy joined Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. She became quite involved in their religious rules and started participating in all the events. Once in an interview, she expressed how she felt after joining Brahmakumari and said, 'I experienced boundless safety, peace, joy, understanding, acceptance, and cooperation. I met people from all over the world who were humble, kind, and understanding here (Brahmakumari World Spiritual University).' Gracy made her last on-screen appearance in the 2020 with the TV serial 'Santoshi Maa – Sunayein Vrat Kathayein, which was a sequel to the show Santoshi Maa. Bankrolled by Rashmi Sharma and Pawan Kumar Marut under Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, the mythological series was premiered on January 28, 2020, and was also available for streaming on ZEE5.

Bitget's Gracy Chen believed in Ethereum when no one did
Bitget's Gracy Chen believed in Ethereum when no one did originally appeared on TheStreet. When Ethereum was stuck around $1,800, Gracy Chen still believed in it. It was during Token2049 in early May when TheStreet Roundtable sat down with the Bitget CEO—ETH was trading sideways, Bitcoin had already crossed $100K, and the entire market had seemingly crowned BTC as the one true asset. Ethereum, meanwhile, had gone quiet. But not for Gracy. 'I don't think it's a dead coin,' she said during our chat in Dubai. 'There's still possibility for an altcoin season and also for the ETH/BTC trading pair to go much higher than it is today. But I just don't know when that might happen.' At the time, Ether had been stuck in the $1,500 to $2,000 range for months. Even now, it's hovering around $2,755, as per Kraken's price feeds, which is up from May, but still trading 43% below its all-time high of $4,878. For a coin that was once seen as the smart contract revolution, this kind of stagnation has sparked doubts from all corners. But Gracy wasn't one of them. As CEO of Bitget, a platform that's grown from 25 million to 120 million users under her leadership, Gracy has no shortage of data or perspective. And still, while most of the world doubled down on Bitcoin, she quietly held onto Ethereum. 'Lots of adoption and capital inflow came from institutional clients and they are most comfortable holding and buying Bitcoin,' she said. That's been the core of Ethereum's problem this cycle. BlackRock's ETF opened the floodgates for BTC, and 75 public companies now hold it on their balance sheets. Ether? Not even close. A few firms have added small amounts of ETH and Solana to their reserves, but nothing on the scale of Bitcoin's treasury adoption. Still, Gracy's confidence hasn't wavered. 'I know there are institutions who are considering it,' she said. 'But in terms of quantities, definitely not as much as Bitcoin.' She didn't sugarcoat Ethereum's challenges either—especially when it comes to leadership. 'Ethereum Foundation has their own issue,' she said. 'We want to see how the leader, especially the new president, can lead the team. Hopefully she can make lots of innovations.' That was a rare, honest acknowledgment from a major exchange CEO: belief in the tech, but realistic about the hurdles. Gracy also understands that price movements in this cycle have been driven more by macro conditions than pure fundamentals. 'Lots of price changes this year—not just Bitcoin, but all cryptocurrencies—came from macroeconomic factors,' she noted. 'When does the US start the interest rate cut? How's the trade war going?' And when pressed her on where ETH might go next, she didn't offer a grand price target or flashy headline number. She just shrugged and smiled. 'I actually don't [have a price prediction],' she added. 'My personal portfolio is largely in Bitcoin.' But that's exactly what made her belief in Ethereum stand out. She didn't need to be overexposed to it to recognize its potential. In a market where loud predictions and hype usually grab the spotlight, she chose to wait—and watch. 'I do buy and sell and hold,' she added. 'But I'm more of an exchange CEO rather than a trader… I probably trade much worse than some of you.' Today, ETH is up more than 50% from when we spoke. And while that still doesn't put it anywhere near Bitcoin's explosive run, it does show signs of life—and maybe even a slow momentum shift. So if Ethereum does come roaring back this cycle, don't be surprised if Gracy Chen is already ahead of the curve. She saw it when no one else did.

Bollywood actress Gracy Singh, renowned for her role as Gauri in the Oscar-nominated film Lagaan, captivated audiences with her grace and expressive performances. A trained classical dancer, she seamlessly transitioned into acting, delivering memorable roles in cult-classic films like Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and Gangaajal.

The Journey Of Gracy Singh Gracy began her artistic journey as a classical dancer, touring with the dance group The Planets before making her acting debut in the television soap Amanat in 1997.

When Gracy Left Bollywood To Explore… Despite her rising fame, Gracy gradually distanced herself from Bollywood. In interviews, she expressed that acting was not her life's sole mission and emphasised her desire to engage in projects that resonated with her personally. This perspective led her to explore roles in regional cinema, including Punjabi, Telugu, and Malayalam films, though these ventures met with limited commercial success. However, as per Hindustan Times report, after Gracy's manager passed away in 2008, she started declining offers made to her by renowned Bollywood directors. Gracy Singh's Shift Towards… In 2013, Gracy joined the Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual organization, seeking a deeper sense of peace and purpose. She described experiencing boundless safety, joy, and understanding within the community, which influenced her approach to life and work. This spiritual alignment became evident in her choice of roles, notably her portrayal of Goddess Santoshi in the television series Santoshi Maa and its sequel Santoshi Maa: Sunayein Vrat Kathayein. Meanwhile, the actress has still not taken wedding vows to this day. However, during an interview with ETimes in 2020, the actress said that she does not think that this is an appropriate time for her to marry now, but in the future, she may get married to someone.
