A biography for Riya Senhasn’t been written yet.
“As I've always been open to learning, directors have helped me with the nuances of acting.”
“I was in Calcutta and my parents had an offer for me to feature in Falguni Pathak's music video, produced by Universal Music. I was in Class 9 then, and pleaded to decline the offer because I was too shy. My parents explained that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I was in tears because I was too shy and conscious in front of the camera.”
“I don't mind being called sexy, but I am much more than just that.”
“I have been offered several Bengali films. Due to destiny and good luck, 'Noukadubi' will be my first.”
“No wonder they call shopping 'retail therapy,' as any girl will tell you how it just takes away all the stress.”
“I love indulging myself once in a while with a good aroma or Thai body massage followed by sauna and jacuzzi.”
“My idea of a Benarasi sari was those heavy ones that are pretty cumbersome to wear.”
“Shivam might not be as shy or as moody as me but he has a wanderlust as well. We both yearn to constantly travel.”
“Dad hails from the royal family of Tripura, Kooch Bihar and Baroda and is a great chef. Be it Nepalese, Italian, Lebanese, Chinese, Mughlai, Punjabi or Thai cuisine, he knows the nuances of them all.”
“I eat everything under the sun and manage to do so as I control the amounts I eat, but I avoid binge eating.”
“Marriage doesn't guarantee anything, it doesn't come with perfect settings.”
“I am lucky that my in-laws are incredibly special people and I love them dearly. My father-in-law is an extraordinary man and my mom-in-law a beautiful and brave woman.”
“I hate matching stuff.”
“Now that I have started acting in Bengali films, I will look forward to working with various directors.”
“Among the actors, I think my name has been misused the maximum number of times in the industry.”
“I was open to taking risks and learning from my mistakes.”
“When I look at my earlier work, I often wonder why I acted like that, why I wore that dress, why I said that dialogue... Why couldn't I do it better? I realized I was too young then and not confident.”
“My parents have been very broad-minded and let us do what we wanted.”
“I think belly dancing is very sensuous.”
“It wasn't me. I couldn't go on set every day, get my hair curled for hours and sit with all that make-up. It just didn't do it for me. I took a conscious decision to stop working in Bollywood movies at that time.”
