Lauren Gottlieb was all smiles as she stepped out of her newly purchased home following a traditional Graha-Pravesh puja in Mumbai. Dressed in a rich red velvety silk suit, the dancer-actress radiated warmth and gratitude. Greeting the paparazzi with sweets, she said, “Thank you for coming, I feel like home again and I have sweets for you,” marking the occasion with her signature charm and generosity.
The American performer, who has become a beloved figure in India, has had a remarkable cross-continental career. Lauren first rose to fame as a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance Season 3 in the U.S., later returning as an All-Star and choreographer. Her journey in India catapulted her to household recognition—she was the runner-up on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 and later served as a judge on Season 8.
Lauren’s acting career includes a standout lead role in India’s first 3D dance film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance (2013), which became a massive hit. She has also appeared in global titles like Hannah Montana: The Movie and Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, showcasing her versatility.
Beyond films and television, she has performed with some of the biggest music superstars worldwide—Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, and Shakira—cementing her status as a world-class performer.
Most recently, in 2025, Lauren received the Global Excellence Award for Best Performance Dance for The Royals, further solidifying her legacy as an international dance sensation. Her new home marks not just a milestone, but a celebration of the bond she continues to share with India—a place she lovingly calls her second home.
