Nelli Auriola is set to make her acting debut in the popular Finnish soap opera Salatut elämät, where she will take on the role of a host. Auriola gained fame as a finalist in Miss Suomi 2024 and was previously featured in the 2021 season of Maajussille morsian, a reality dating show where participants seek love among farmers. Her appearance in Salatut elämät is highly anticipated, especially since the episode will air on MTV3 and be available on the streaming service MTV Katsomo+, marking a significant step in her career.

During her time on Maajussille morsian, Auriola became closely associated with farmer Kalle, with whom she shared a connection strong enough to be chosen for a weekend together in Naantali. However, Kalle ultimately selected another participant, Niina, whom he later married in the summer of 2023. Auriola has openly discussed the outcome on her Instagram, indicating that she does not see herself becoming a farm wife yet. This openness and relatability have contributed to her popularity, especially as she was named the media favorite in the Miss Suomi 2024 competition.

In addition to her television work, Auriola is a businesswoman and works as both a host and a makeup artist in Hämeenlinna. Earlier this year, she participated in a unique experience cooking and consuming traditional home-cooked meals for a week. Nelli Auriola's transition into acting and her multifaceted career indicate her growing influence in Finnish entertainment, as she navigates various roles in the public eye with enthusiasm and ambition.
