Uyghurs in China live primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the place where she was also born. Uyghurs are Turkic ethnic group, which explains why Dilraba has a western-ish look to her~

2. Yang Mi is her boss!

3. Just like most of us, Dilraba LOVES snacking!

Although she's obviously in good shape, she loves wafer and potato chips. Here's how she would ask her manager for more snacks, LOL!

Her assistant is also said to carry a secret stash of snacks with her wherever she goes too!

4. She loves dancing!

She said in an interview that if she did not become an actress, she would definitely have pursued dancing~

5. Her fans are called 'Alice'

In Mandarin, Alice is pronounced as 'Ai Li Si'. To Dilraba, it is short for 'Ai di li re ba de fen si 爱迪丽热巴的粉丝'. Hence, the name Alice. How cute and meaningful :)
