Darya Gantura is a Belgian actress born in 1986 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, who moved to Belgium at age 14 and trained in drama at KASK Gent.
She rose to fame starring as Ella in VTM’s telenovela Ella (2010–11), and has since taken diverse roles in Goesting, Code 37, Cordon, and Familie as Ellie Segers.

Her leading film role came in Red Sandra (2021), playing Olga Massart—mother to a terminally ill child—a role she prepared for by meeting the real person, bringing emotional depth and authenticity to her performance.

Darya balances her screen work with teaching drama and camera acting at Kunstacademie Poperinge, and served on the PlayRight board representing performers since 2021.
Multilingual in Dutch, Russian, English, French, German, and basic Spanish, she continues to contribute to Belgian film, television, theatre, and education.
