Linda Arsenio is an American actress and model, who has predominantly appeared in Indian films and is best known for her role in the 2006 Hindi film Kabul Express.
Early life
Arsenio was born on Galveston Island, Texas, the daughter of a Salvadoran mother and a Yugoslavian father.[2]
Career
She made her acting début in a British independent film, called The Process of Creative Deception, before stepping into the Hindi film industry. She has acted in Tamil and Telugu films mostly as an item number in films such as Sachein, Bhadra, Kana Kandaen, and Thotti Jaya.[3]
Her first Hindi film is Kabul Express. This movie was entirely shot in Afghanistan.[4] She also appeared in other movies Mumbai Salsa, and Aloo Chaat.[5][6]
In early 2007, she had acted in two cross-cultural Tamil telefilms, titled My Dear Father (En Iniya Thanthai) and Self Defence (Aththu Meera Aasai), both directed by 'Atlanta' Ganesh.[7][8]
In 2009, she acted in the Malayalam film Pazhassi Raja alongside popular South Indian actors Mammootty and Sarath Kumar. However, she received much criticism for her role in the film (as Malabar District Sub-Collector's young wife Dora Baber).[9]
