Riya & Raima SEN
('Bilkul Mummy Jaisi')
Riya Sen - Petite beauty!  This
gorgeous daughter of Bengali actress Moon Moon Sen first stepped under
the arc lamps at the tender age of 15 when she faced the camera for the
famous Tamil flick "Taj Mahal", directed by Bharati Raja.
She was supposed to make her Bollywood debut opposite Akshay Khanna in Kailash Surendranath's "Love You Hamesha" but unfortunately the film could not hit the turnstiles owing to differences between the producer and distributors. Meanwhile
Riya became a known face on the Indipop circuit featuring in quite a
considerable number of music videos including Jagjit Singh-Asha Bhosle's
's "Jab Samne Tum" and "Kahin Kahin Se". The 5'1"
tall, budding actress, Riya Sen is a grand daughter of legendary film
actress Suchitra Sen and daughter of Moon Moon Sen. She lives with her
mother and sister Raima Sen in a cosy apartment in Juhu, the north Mumbai
suburb.  Raima
Sen- Serene BeautyBeing the daughter of Moon Moon Sen and granddaughter of stalwart actress of the yesteryears Suchitra Sen, Raima Sen has immense expectations and responsibility on her shoulders. And this petite damsel handles it with absolute finesse. Apart from that, she also has tough competition from her talented and beautiful sister Riya Sen. But she has no qualms about it, "She does her own thing and I do mine", she says. "We get along very well and every night we always discuss the happenings of the day," she adds. This movie freak has only one ambition ...that of becoming an actress. On being asked about her passion for cinema, pat comes the reply," I was always inclined towards acting as I used to accompany my mother to shootings." She is
aware of the expectations people have from her and so she has been very
particular in choosing her roles. Raima adores her grandmother, from
whom she has lots to learn and inspiration to draw. Raima's admiration
for her grandma comes due to the strength and courage she had to do
whatever she wanted in life. She recalls her experience while shooting for the film and has some fond memories of it. "I was so nervous on the first day of the shoot, but Shabana Azmi made me feel absolutely comfortable. She's a great actress and I had a lot to learn from her," she says. So, it doesn't come as a surprise to know that her favourite movie of all time is the Shabana Azmi starrer, 'Masoom'. Tears welled up in her eyes when she first saw it and they still do.
This pretty
young thing has a skin care regime that consists of washing her face
with a face wash twice a day (morning and night), drinking a lot of
water and moisturising her face either before sleeping in the night
or in the morning. She takes care of her beautiful, shining 'Sunsilk'
hair by washing it at least twice a week, oiling it once a week and
going for a deep conditioning treatment once in two weeks. She jogs
everyday for ½ hour to keep herself fit.
