INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Marina Abraham, an Indian actress, YouTuber, and television personality, first captured the public’s attention through her engaging performance in the Telugu soap opera “America Ammayi,” which aired from July 27, 2015, to July 21, 2018. In this notable role, she portrayed Samantha Williams Vajrapati, affectionately known as Sam, a young woman determined to reunite her mother with her family in India after being raised in America. This character provided her with a platform to showcase her acting prowess and resonated with audiences, solidifying her place in the entertainment industry.
Marina’s journey into acting began rather unexpectedly in Hyderabad, inspired by a connection through her mother. A friend of her mother’s, already involved in the entertainment sector, introduced her to the world of acting. In her own words, she humorously reflected, “I came into this industry for some pocket money,” but what started as a casual endeavor soon blossomed into a full-time career. After her debut in film, she gravitated towards television, stepping into the limelight with “America Ammayi.” Reflecting on her preference for TV over films, she explained that while she initially aspired to work in movies, she found greater satisfaction in the consistent roles offered by serials, which allowed her to explore characters more comfortably.
Marina’s versatility as an actress was further demonstrated when she took on the lead role of Kavya in the Telugu daily soap “Siri Siri Muvvalu” in 2019. In this series, her character navigates the challenges of marrying a man who is disinterested in married life, ultimately striving to become the ideal wife. Later that same year, she made her mark by securing the titular role in “Prema” on Zee Telugu, after replacing the former lead actress, further cementing her status as a prominent figure in the industry. Beyond acting, Marina showcased her talent in reality television, competing alongside her husband Rohit Sahni in shows like “Dance Jodi Dance” in 2018 and the popular “Ishmart Jodi” in 2020, where they engaged in entertaining challenges as part of a celebrity couple lineup.
In 2022, Marina and Rohit entered the spotlight once more by participating in “Bigg Boss Telugu Season 6,” becoming the second celebrity couple to do so after Varun and Vithika. Their dynamic presence on the show added another layer to Marina’s multifaceted career. Alongside her television endeavors, Marina has also ventured into the digital space, creating two YouTube channels: “Marina’s World” and “Marina And Rohit Diaries.” Her first vlog, “World Famous Laddu – Vinayaka Chaviti Special,” gained impressive traction, amassing 100,000 views in just two days. The channels quickly gained popularity, earning them a Silver YouTube Button in December 2020 for surpassing 100,000 subscribers.
Outside of her professional life, Marina is known for her compassion towards animals. An avid dog lover, she advocates for pet adoption through her vlogs and has adopted two dogs, a Pomeranian and a street dog, who reside with her mother, Juliana Abraham. She has expressed her affection for her pets, stating, “Both of my pets are adopted, one is a ‘desi’ dog and another one is a Pomeranian, which I found at my parking lot.” Marina’s commitment to animal welfare and her engaging online presence have endeared her to fans, earning her a place among Hyderabad Times’ Most Desirable Women on TV in 2017 while providing a glimpse into her vibrant personal life.
