BlueAcadia Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Aliya Knightley is a strikingly beautiful international fashion, beauty & cover model that worked professionally during the 80s & 90s and is one of the famous and popular Dolly Magazine (Australia) cover girls and was represented by Chadwick's (Sydney) and Unique (London). Her father was esteemed Australian journalist Philip Knightley. She spent her childhood between London, Sydney and Bombay, India where is her mother Yvonne is from. "First Bombay, then London is the way most ambitious Indian models would want to go about it. Aliya Knightley preferred to do it the other way. Daughter of the London-based Indian Express columnist Phillip Knightley, Aliya walked straight down the continental catwalk, shining armour and all, to hometown Bombay where she has since been luxuriating in Garden silks and Lux bubbles. "London is very competitive and bitchy," she says, "There are thousands of models. Here you have only hundreds." Now Aliya wants to do some more serious work - she has recently begun writing for Mid-day and plans to pursue it regularly. "Oh, I'm just out to have a good time," said the little chip off the old block. Well, when you're 20. tall and gorgeous you can have it any way you like." -Excerpt from India Today (link below) "Phillip George Knightley AM (23 January 1929 – 7 December 2016) was an Australian journalist, critic, and non-fiction author. He became a visiting Professor of Journalism at the University of Lincoln, England, and was a media commentator on the intelligence services and propaganda. Knightley was married with two daughters, Aliya and Marisa, a son, Kim, and two granddaughters. He lived between London, Sydney and Goa in India. He died on 7 December 2016 at the age of 87." - Excerpt from Wikipedia (link below) Additional links about Aliya: https://www.modelscomposites.com/getlist.php?list=wld&choice=Aliya&year=all&id= https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/philip-and-yvonne-knightley-with-their-three-year-old-news-photo/1081498260 https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/eyecatchers/story/19850915-mahesh-bhatts-autobiographical-film-janam-to-premier-on-television-801955-2014-01-04 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Knightley Height: 5'7" (1.70) Hair: Dark Brown Eyes: Green Nationality: Father is Australian, Mother is Indian From Peter Marlowe Composites: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
