Remarks:
Flora Asha Saini is an Indian film actress and model. She predominantly works in Telugu film industry, but has appeared in a number of Kannada, Tamil and Hindi productions as well. Since her debut in Prema Kosam (1999), she has acted in over 50 films and co-starred with noted actors including Rajinikanth, Vijaykanth, Prabhu, Karthik, Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Jagapati Babu and Rajasekhar.[2] Career Born in Chandigarh, Haryana to an army officer, Flora began her schooling in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir and continued her education in Delhi.[3] Her family moved to Kolkata then, where she started pursuing a modeling career. She participated at the Miss Kolkata beauty pageant contest.[4] Flora made her acting debut in the 1999 Telugu film Prema Kosam in which she enacted the lead female role.[5] 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.[6] Flora subsequently essayed 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,[7] being the most notable, which led to her being referred to as "Lux Papa" thereafter.[8] In 2002, she debuted in Hindi, starring in the T. P. Aggarwal-produced Bharat Bhagya Vidhata.[9] 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.[10] Flora starred in several Kannada films, too, including Giri starring Srinagar Kitty and Nammannna starring Sudeep.[11] In March 2008, she was arrested in Chennai for supposedly having forged visa documents,[12] and was subsequently banned from the Tamil film industry.[13] She claimed innocence,[14] and the ban was lifted a couple of weeks later.[15] 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.[16] In 2010, Flora Saini was honoured with the Uttarakhand Ratan Award.[17] She has also received The Great Daughter of Soil Award in Mauritius for her work towards the poor and helpless.[18]
