Born in America, Marigold was the only child in the Lexton family. Her mom died when she was very young. She took an interest in acting and movies, much to the chagrin of her dad, who refused to do anything with her. She started acting in small budget movies as well sequels to popular releases such as Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct amongst others. She landed a part in Kama Sutra 3 and had an eventful journey to Mumbai, India, and from there by taxi to Goa.

It is here she found out that the movie has been canceled, and she has no money to return home as she was provided with a one-way ticket. She lands a singing/dancing role in Manoj Sharma's film, meets with Dance Instructor, Prem Rajput, who tells her that his grandma had predicted that he would meet and then get married to a woman named Marigold.

She becomes attracted to him, even accompanies him to Jodhpur, Rajasthan, to his family home on the occasion of his sister, Pooja's marriage. It is here she will find out that Prem belongs to a royal family, and his marriage had already been finalized with a woman named Jhanvi, and no one in this family has ever dared to go against arranged marriages and tradition.

Ali Quotes

• "Singing and dancing was definitely the hardest part for me. I’d never sung before on screen and we only had about three days’ rehearsal to learn all the different musical numbers."

• "I’d had no dance training before and I’m not the most co-ordinated of girls, so that was my greatest challenge. It helped that I was playing someone who couldn’t dance to start with!"

• "Marigold came at a time when I wasn’t getting as many offers to play characters I wanted to play and it was something that I really wanted to be part of and had to keep pushing for."

Critic Reviews

"Ali Larter plays an amazingly bitchy actress sent to Bollywood. They hate her, then they love her. I didn't quite get the love bit." - (Read Full Review: Telegraph)	"The final half hour may lose its way but this remains a sassy and endearing romantic effort." - (Read Full Review: Empire)
"An ambitious but largely successful attempt to marry Bollywood and Hollywood, Marigold is worth seeing for Ali Larter's performance and some joyous musical numbers." - (Read Full Review: View London)	"This first co-production between the United States and India starts badly and never recovers." - (Read Full Review: Spirituality and Practice)
