On the 92nd episode of Seinfeld, "The Gymnast"" (aired on November 3, 1994) Jerry Seinfeld dated Katya, and mentioned that she is a Romanian gymnast which won the silver medal for gymnastics at the 1984 Summer Olympics.
Some of her notable roles are Diana Reiter in Schindler's List (1993), "Katya" in the 1994 Seinfeld TV show episode The Gymnast, Iris in Six Ways to Sunday (1997), and Anne Levels in The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998).
Baywatch star Pamela Anderson learned of Bhardwaj's challenges when she purchased a raffle ticket on her behalf, became a personal supporter, and gave the gymnast a generous $20,000 grant to support her training expenses.
The gymnast's parents assisted Vorobyev with the legal process of gaining residency in the U.S., where Vorobyev then began to coach their son and his mixed-pair partner, Shenea Booth, at Empire AcroGymnastics in Riverside, California.
