Chuluuny Khulan (Mongolian: Чулууны Хулан; born May 30, 1985) is a Mongol actress who first gained international notice as Börte, the wife of Genghis Khan, in the 2007 Oscar nominated Russian film Mongol.

Career

Khulan was a student in 2006 hoping to join the country's military and enroll in a military school^[1] when she was discovered by Guka Omarav, the casting agent for Mongol, while standing in a visa line at the Chinese embassy in Ulaanbaatar. Bodrov and Omarav had wanted to cast a Mongol woman as Genghis Khan's wife but with two weeks to go before filming they were uncertain about their choices. After meeting with her, Bodrov decided to take a risk on the non-professional actress and subsequently cast her in the role of Börte.^[2]

Personal life

Khulan met Naryn Igilik, Bodrov's Kazakh assistant, while on the set of Mongol. Later, the couple were wed as part of the film's opening night celebrations in Kazakhstan. She and her husband now reside in Kazakhstan, near Almaty.^[1]
