Priya Anjali Rai, born on December 25, 1977, in New Delhi, India, is a pioneering Indian-American former pornographic actress and adult model. Abandoned at birth, she was adopted by an American couple at age two and raised near Minneapolis, Minnesota, where her father worked as a research engineer at Honeywell. After attending Arizona State University and working as a stripper for 12 years, Priya entered the adult industry in 2007 at age 29.
Renowned for her voluptuous 5'3" frame, enhanced 34DDD breasts (later reduced to D cup), and exotic South Asian beauty, she starred in over 200 films for studios like Brazzers, Bang Bros, and Naughty America. Her performances spanned gonzo, interracial, lesbian, squirting, and watersports scenes. Priya gained popularity on Foxes.com before launching her own website and briefly escorting.
She won the 2009 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene in 'Cheerleaders.' Retiring in 2013 to pursue mainstream acting in films like 'Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy,' she returned in 2018 via OnlyFans and ManyVids. Now focused on fitness, meditation, and spiritual energy, Priya remains an icon for ethnic representation in adult entertainment.
