Rimi Sen said- You don’t get work in Bollywood without pleading: I was tired of doing comedy films continuously, I even broke contact with Ajay-Akshay
Actress Rimi Sen, who appeared in many hit films like ‘Hungama’, ‘Dhoom’, ‘Deewane Huye Pagal’ and ‘Phir Hera-Pheri’, has been missing from the industry for 13 years. In a recent interview to HT, the actress explained the reason for staying away from the industry. She said that she was tired of doing comedy films continuously. Rimi also said that she did not get work in Bollywood until she begged. I wanted to do films like ‘Johnny Gaddar’: Rimi Rimi said, ‘I was tired of doing comedy films. There were not many roles for me. In such films, I only had the role of furniture. At the same time, I had a good role in some films like ‘Hungama’ and ‘Johnny Gaddar’, so ‘Johnny Gaddar’ was a hit. I wanted to do similar work.’ ‘Everyone here helps keeping in mind their own benefit’ Rimi, who has worked with actors like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and John Abraham, said that she is not in touch with these actors either. She said, ‘I cannot ask for help from anyone. In this industry, unless you beg, you don’t get help. Why won’t others look at their own benefit? Why would anyone come forward to help someone?’ ‘Here talent lies in the store room’ Rimi Sen further said that she was not at all good at marketing herself. She said- ‘In this industry, one has to take some risk. Talent comes later. You should first know how to handle people? Otherwise your talent will lie in the store room. Mine also remained because I did not know how to do my own PR.’ Rimi was last seen in the 2011 film ‘Thank You’ and Nana Patekar starrer ‘Shagard’. After this, he produced the film ‘Budhia Singh’ in 2016 but that also did not work.
