Mili Eshet’s parents, Ilva and Arik Eshet come from an entertainment background. The Israeli actress has two sisters, and her older sister, Maya Eshet, is also an actress.
It was Mili’s dad, Arik Eshet, who was the first one from his family to join the creative world. He is the Incubator Theater’s founder and previously operated the Nissan Nativ acting studio in Jerusalem.
The actress made her acting debut in 2008 but vanished for eight years before returning to the screen. Her sister, Maya, also had done the same before returning to the acting world almost a decade later.
Mili is currently starring in the TV series The Tattooist of Auschwitz alongside Jonah Hauer-King. The TV series is based on Heather Morris’ bestselling 2018 book of the same name and follows the story of Lali (Jonah Hauer-King) from his arrival at the camp in 1942 to his escape in 1945.
Meet Mili Eshet’s Parents, Ilva And Arik Eshet
Mili Eshet’s parents, Ilva and Arik Eshet, raised their three daughters in Jerusalem, Israel. Her parents belong to the showbiz industry and have previously worked as voice actors.
Mili’s mother, Ilva, immigrated from Sweden to Israel and remains out of the public limelight. But Mili’s dad is a well-known artistic director in Israel and was previously interviewed by The Jerusalem Post.
Arik Eshet grew up in Sanherdria in Jerusalem, a city home to his family for eight generations. In his interview, Arik stated that his grandmother’s family is from Hebron and has been in Israel since the 19th century.
Arik didn’t come from an artsy family. His grandfather was a dairy farmer, and his father was an army officer. Due to his father’s profession, the director says the family lived around the country.
It was also due to his father’s work that Arik got the chance to visit Brazil and live there during his high school years. He returned to Israel and joined the army academy.
He thought of joining Hebrew University to study law, but that plan was thwarted after he took an acting course at the same university.
Arik then decided to join Nissan Nativ acting school, eventually landing him a directing job at the Army Theatre. He worked with army entertainment groups as a choreographer and as an artistic director.
After working with the army, the Jerusalem Foundation asked Arik if he wanted to open an acting studio. Eshet showed interest, and that is how Nissan Nativ’s acting studio in Jerusalem was born.
He worked there for 26 years, and in 2005, he decided to open Incubator Theater. Since 2005, Incubator Theater has produced more than 1500 shows from 30 original productions and plays, including a TV series on Channel 10.
In his interview, Arik also talked about his love for Jerusalem. The director said, “Jerusalem is like no other city. I see Jerusalem as a true representation of Israel.”
Mili Eshet’s Siblings: The Actress Has Two Sisters
The Israeli actress Mili Eshet has two sisters, and actress Maya Eshet happens to be one of them. Mili and Maya’s other sister, Noam Eshet, is a fashion designer.
Maya Eshet, 34, was born on May 9, 1990, and is the oldest of three siblings. She made her acting debut in 2003 with the Israeli movie Shiur Moledet: Avdei Hashem.
But Maya wasn’t seen in other projects after that for a decade. In 2013, she returned to the screen and starred in American singer Cher’s music video, Woman’s World.
She appeared on the Kroll Show in 2014 and also in the short movie Whatever We Want To Be. It was the same year that Maya was also seen in the hit TV series Teen Wolf as Meredith Walker for ten episodes.
She starred in several movies in 2017, including the TV movie drama To The Bone, the comedy film Flower, and the horror-thriller project Keep Watching.
A year later, Maya took up the role of Lommie in the series Nightflyers. She was one of the main characters and played a gender-fluid cyber technician.
Last year, Maya starred in the TV series Fear The Walking Dead. She played the role of an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak.
Currently, Mili’s older sister has two projects lined up, Evilou and 10 KILOS.
The latter is the story of a young woman who ends up in a women’s prison after a weekend of partying in Bolivia. She then rises to the top of the South American country’s drug cartel.
Maya is available on Instagram but doesn’t post much on her handle. She was previously seen promoting her sister Noam’s designs. Noam is the founder of ANwear, a family boutique. Like Maya, Noam is also not seen much on social media.
Mili Eshet’s Boyfriend: Who Is She Dating?
Mili Eshet has never talked about her dating life in her interviews. Her Instagram posts also seem to hint that the actress is currently single.
The Israeli actress is mostly seen sharing posts of her projects or with her family members. Earlier this year, Mili traveled with her sisters enjoying her free time in London.
Her last three posts have been about her latest TV series, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Unlike her older sister, Mili doesn’t have many acting credits.
She debuted in 2008 with the movie Eli & Ben, and eight years later returned with the film Beyond the Mountains and Hills. It was in 2021 that Maya started picking up roles.
She starred in two movies, Take The “A” Train and Ahed’s Knee. In 2022, in the film Barren, she played the center role, Faigi, a young married woman trying for a baby with her husband, Naftail (Yoav Rotman).
Last year, Mili was seen in the movie Kissufim and also starred in the TV series Sovietzka. So, for now, it looks like the Israeli actress is focused on her career and isn’t searching for love.
From reading celebrity blinds to keeping up with scores of all the different sports happening worldwide, Shreeyukta can’t simply have enough of the entertainment world.
