Arsha is a 27-year-old Bollywood star acting as the Goodwill Ambassador for the earthquake victims. She has long black hair, has a tilaka mark on her forehead, and wears thick red lipstick.

Role in Case(s)
Arsha was spoken to by the player and Jack Archer about her tablet found in the Lotus Temple. According to Elliot Clayton, she made several appearances as the Goodwill Ambassador, and the victim was her contact from Rising Hope. She did not recognize the victim, saying she was focusing more on being a beacon of light to the those in New Delhi suffering. She exclaimed before leaving that she had no involvement in Donna's murder.

Arsha was interrogated again by the player and Carmen Martinez about the video of her giving a speech while the victim threw garbage at her. The victim warned Arsha on it that she knew where she truly came from. Arsha informed them that she was raised in a poor family, and the victim accused her of turning her back on her origins. Carmen questioned why that was bad as that could make her more popular with a "rags to riches" story; but Arsha said that it would be a dishonor to her family if her humble beginnings were revealed.

In the end, Arsha was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Dr Sumati Misra for Donna's murder.
