Rimi Sen (Bengali: রিমি সেন)
(b. on September 21, 1981 in Kolkata, India) is an Indian actress
working in the Bollywood film industry. In an interview with journalist
Vickey Lalwani, Sen revealed that she does not use her real name,
Shoumitra Sen, "because it is so unusual."
Biography
Sen moved to Mumbai to become a film actress. She was first noticed
when she auditioned for a Coca-Cola advertisement, impressing
Priyadarshan, the director of the ad. Priyadarshan cast her in his hit
film Hungama, establishing her in Bollywood.
She then played Amitabh Bachchan's and Hema Malini's granddaughter
in the hit film Baghban. Her next big hit was the Yashraj produced
Dhoom. Her next releases Phir Hera Pheri and Golmaal have been
successful at the box office. Her latest release Dhoom 2, released on
November 24, 2006, is another big hit, though she has very little
presence in the film.
Rimi is now going by the screen name Rimii. She explains the name
change as a career move: there are many other Sens working in Bollywood
right now, and a single name may help her stand out from the crowd and
stay apart from others.
