Priya Anjali Rai, professionally known as Priya Rai, is a retired Indian-American pornographic actress born on December 25, 1977, in New Delhi, India. Abandoned at birth by her biological parents, she was adopted at age two by American parents and raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She studied marketing at Arizona State University but dropped out to enter the entertainment industry. Rai began as an exotic dancer and glamour model specializing in swimwear and lingerie before debuting in explicit hardcore adult films in 2007 at age twenty-nine.
Standing at five feet three inches with a curvaceous, busty figure, she quickly rose to prominence as one of the few prominent South Asian performers in the industry. Appearing in dozens of scenes for studios like Evil Angel, Digital Playground, and Bang Productions, she was known for her exotic appeal and energetic performances. Rai retired around 2013 after several successful years, leaving a lasting impact on adult entertainment diversity.
