The 19-year-old actress Emma Watson portrayed the character of Olga Sergeyevna Prozorova in an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s ‘Three Sisters’. “Emma was nervous beforehand but was faultless in her role. She has been juggling coursework with rehearsals and learning lines so she’s had a lot on her plate. Emma was over the moon that every show was a full house. She also made some new friends while doing it,” the source said about Emma’s performance.

The long-distance relationship didn’t survive even a few months, and both of them realized the futility of the relationship, and hence decided to go their separate ways. “Emma and Jay were in trouble for months and with Emma at Brown University in America, the transatlantic gap proved too much for their relationship to survive,” according to a source.
