Bollywood actress Raima Sen, who has made a name for herself in the Bengali film industry as well as Bollywood with her offbeat roles, says she is ready to don a bikini on the silver screen if she finds the script of the movie fantabulous and demands her to go for it.
“I don’t like to wear a bikini on screen. I thank god that till date I haven’t got such roles where I need to wear a bikini because I don’t think wearing one will add glamour to the role, ” Raima, 30, told in a recent interview.
“But if a script comes to me and if it’s really a very, very good script and the role demands, then it’s okay wearing a bikini, ” said the star of such films as “Chokher Bali” and “Parineeta”.
Raima comes from an illustrious Bengali film family – her grandmother, legendary actress Suchitra Sen, was one of the most sought after in Bengali as well as Hindi movies. And her mother Moon Moon Sen was a yesteryear sex symbol. Her sister Riya too is active in Hindi movies.
Best known in the industry for her innocent and girl-next-door looks, Raima‘s beauty has often been compared to that of her grandmother’s.
“I feel honoured when people compare my looks with those of my grandmother, ” she said.
Raima made her debut in the film industry with a small role in the critically acclaimed Hindi movie “Godmother” in 1999. But her acting skills were overshadowed by the presence of Shabana Azmi who was the main protagonist.
She is open to all kinds of roles and is very keen to feature in period films.
Raima Sen is currently enjoying her new role as a judge on the kid’s dance reality show “Twinkle Twinkle Dancing Stars” on Bengali entertainment channel Mahuaa Bangla, but says her heart lies in acting.
“Yes, I am enjoying my new role as a judge of this dance reality show of kids. It’s a different thing altogether. But I must say one thing – my passion is acting.”
This is the first time Raima Sen is judging a reality show.
