A biography for Riya Senhasn’t been written yet.
“I didn't learn acting. I was still in school/college, shooting and then going back to studies.”
“I am not 'fashionable.' I am particular about what I wear.”
“Actually, once you have a lot of work at hand in Mumbai, there's little free time to spend alone.”
“I would like to act in films of all genres.”
“I don't care if people compare me to my grandmother. I can never be like my grandmother. Nor was my grandmother ever like me. People may compare me with her or my mother, Moon Moon. But I am cool about it.”
“Digital content is getting very popular especially with the youth in India, hence short films are a great opportunity to tell different kinds of stories for the young audiences.”
“I am always excited when the script or the character has something different to offer.”
“I realized some of the films I did, after a few hits that I had, they weren't working for me because I wasn't comfortable in the roles I was playing. That's why probably people thought I was a bad actress and I don't blame them.”
“Shopping makes me happy, just like with most girls.”
“I've been interested in fashion since school, and I studied it in college.”
“If the offers are good, I am open to do movies in any language.”
“I enjoy wearing a saree more than a mini skirt and maybe that has come off as bad acting in some of my films, because I didn't fit in there.”
“I am enjoying my work but films are not my lifeline.”
“I don't mind any role as long as I get to work with good directors.”
“So my first role was when I was five years old. I had one scene with my mom in a Bengali film called 'Gajamukta.' After that, I thought I'd become Madhuri Dixit.”
“I don't think I will ever give up doing live performances.”
“I feel Bengali directors have offered me characters which have a story to tell and not just impress people because of what I wear in the film. That's the kind of roles I want to do.”
“Chocolates tempt me a lot and I love binging on them. Sometime back, I had hogged so many of them that I had to go to Bangkok for treatment.”
“I hardly own a sari.”
“Unlike any other star kid, I didn't have any A-grade launch. I just did whatever came my way.”
