Early life

Arsenio was born on Galveston Island, Texas, the daughter of a Salvadoran mother and a Yugoslavian father. She has two sisters and one brother, who live in Texas.

She studied at the Actors' Conservatory in Dallas for two years, graduating with a degree in acting and continued her studies in acting in New York City. Having already experience with theatre and musicals, she went on to do professional theatre in Texas and later in New York, which then led her to working in feature films.

Career

She made her acting début in an English independent film, called The Process of Creative Deception, before stepping into the Hindi film industry. She has acted in Tamil and Telugu films. The Tamil films are Sachein and Thotti Jaya in which she has item numbers, and she also plays a cameo in Kana Kandaen. The Telugu movie she has acted in is Bhadra. She has a forthcoming film called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.[1]

Her first Bollywood movie is Kabul Express. This movie was entirely shot in Afghanistan. She currently resides in Mumbai where she continues to be active in Bollywood after the success of Kabul Express. She also appeared in the Bollywood movies Mumbai Salsa,[2] and Aloo Chaat with Aftab Shivdasani.[3]

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.[4][5][6]

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).[7]
