Flora Saini (born 29 September 1978), also known by her screen name Asha Saini, is an Indian film actress and model.[1] She predominantly works in Tollywood, and also appeared in a number of Kannada, Tamil and Hindi films as well. Since her debut in Prema Kosam (1999), she has acted in over 50 films and co-starred with noted actors including RajinikanthV. RavichandranSudeepShivarajkumarVijaykanthPrabhuKarthikJagapati Babu and Rajasekhar.[2]

Career

Born in Chandigarh to an army officer, Flora began her schooling in UdhampurJammu and Kashmir and continued her education in The Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan Delhi. Her family moved to Kolkata then, where she started pursuing a modeling career. She participated at the Miss Kolkata beauty pageant contest.[3] Flora made her acting debut in the 1999 Telugu film Prema Kosam in which she enacted the lead female role.[4] The film producer of her first film rechristened her as Asha Saini, while years later she would adopt a new screen name, Mayuri, as per an astrologer's advice, before eventually reverting to her original name.[5]

Flora subsequently played supporting roles in more than a dozen Telugu films in the next three years, with her appearance in the film Narasimha Naidu (2002), which went on to become highly successful,[6] being the most notable, which led to her being referred to as "Lux Papa" thereafter.[7] In 2002, she debuted in Hindi, starring in the T. P. Aggarwal-produced Bharat Bhagya Vidhata.[8] Her second Hindi film Love in Nepal (2004) saw her pairing with popular playback singer Sonu Nigam, which too was produced by T. P. Aggarwal.[3] Flora starred in several Kannada films, too, including Giri starring Srinagar Kitty and Nammannna starring Sudeep.[9]

In March 2008, she was arrested in Chennai for supposedly having forged visa documents,[7] and was subsequently banned from the Tamil film industry.[10] She claimed innocence,[11] and the ban was lifted a couple of weeks later.[12]

Flora had three of her films, Broker (Telugu), Vismaya Pramaya and Vah Re Vah (both Kannada) releasing on 31 December 2010, a rare occurrence that secured her an entry in the Limca Book of Records for the most number of film releases on one day.[13] In 2010, Flora Saini was honoured with the Uttarakhand Ratna Award.[14] She has also received The Great Daughter of Soil Award in Mauritius for her work towards the poor and helpless.[4] She is last seen in a web-series called Gandi Baat season 2 with Anveshi Jain,[15] where she played a lead role. Recently Saini was seen in many web series and notably worked in Mayanagari-City of Dreams of Hotstar.

In 2015, Flora Saini played the role of Muskan in MSG: The Messenger starring Gurmeet Ram Rahim. She played the role of a daughter with Jayshree Soni as Kasam and Olexandra Semen as Alice.

In October 2019 Flora Saini made her debut in Bengali web series through Dupur Thakurpo hoichoi web series. It was the 3rd season of the series and she played the iconinc role of Phulwa boudi.[16][17]

She also was chosen a face of short quality video app "Firework" , while managed by "Celeb Connex".
