Millions of people dream of becoming actors, but only a few make it to the top. Some achieve instant success, while others rise more gradually. This is the story of an actress who made an immediate impact and worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. However, in recent years, she has seemingly disappeared from the silver screen.
The actress in question is Rimi Sen. She made her Bollywood debut with the film Hungama, which featured a star-studded cast including Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Aftab Shivdasani, Shakti Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, and more. Her career quickly gained momentum as she appeared in major films like Bagban, Dhoom, Garam Masala, Phir Hera Pheri, and more. She also had a notable role in Ajay Devgn’s Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, where she portrayed Niraali. Beginning her Bollywood journey in 2003, she unexpectedly stepped away from acting in 2011, with her final film being Shagird.
In 2015, Rimi Sen appeared as a contestant on Bigg Boss 9, where she received a warning from Salman Khan about her career. During the show, she expressed reluctance to perform tasks and put in the necessary effort. In response, Salman Khan advised her to reassess her attitude, warning that if she didn’t take her career seriously and change her approach, she would struggle to find work. Rimi, however, made it clear at that time that she wasn’t interested in continuing to work in the industry.
In an interview, Rimi Sen explained her decision to leave the film industry. Speaking to Etimes, she said, “I had lost interest in the film industry. Offers had got repetitive; I was getting roles in only comedy films. I had started my career in the top bracket, so I couldn’t go further up nor I could afford to go lower.” She also admitted that she was solely responsible for the way her career unfolded.
