Every year hundreds of beautiful beauties enter the city of Mumbai with the beautiful dream of becoming a top star in the dazzling world of Bollywood. But only a few of these actresses are able to reach the pinnacle of success, while the career of some gets shattered at some unwanted turn even before touching the heights. Today we are talking about one such bold actress of 45-year-old Bengali origin, whose entire film career and public image was completely ruined just because of the leaking of an alleged video clip. That controversy of 2005: When the country’s first big MMS went viral on the internet. In today’s time, it has become a common thing for videos and pictures of some celebrity to go viral on social media every day. But exactly two decades ago, when the internet was in its initial stage in the country and ‘viral content culture’ was just spreading, a very personal video of this 45-year-old actress was leaked on the internet. This MMS clip, which surfaced in the year 2005, created a stir in the entire entertainment industry and gossip columns of the country. This video clip was allegedly of that time’s rising Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel and this Bengali beauty. This one incident turned a very promising and rapidly rising actress of that time into a controversial face overnight. Ending the suspense, let us tell you that we are talking about actress Riya Sen, who belongs to a very elite and royal family of Bengal. Riya Sen, who has a deep connection with the legendary film family of Bengal, had inherited acting and beauty. She is the daughter of Bengal’s famous and very glamorous actress Moon Moon Sen and the granddaughter of Suchitra Sen, the most veteran and evergreen actress of Indian cinema. His sister Raima Sen is also a well-known name in Bengali and Hindi cinema. Despite coming from such a strong and influential film background, Riya Sen had worked hard to create her own identity in the industry. She entered Bollywood as a lead actress in the 2001 cult comedy film ‘Style’. The film was a superhit and Riya’s style was liked by the audience. After this, he worked in many multi-starrer films like ‘Jhankar Beats’ and ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’, but then the scandal of 2005 came to light. The truth of the video is still unresolved, it put a break on the career. Till date no one has been able to find out what was the real truth behind this alleged leaked video. At that time neither Riya Sen nor Ashmit Patel had completely accepted this clip. Riya Sen had always called it a deep conspiracy and a fake video. Despite this, tabloids and gossip media kept the matter alive for years, which had a deep negative impact on Riya Sen’s public image. The worst impact of this controversy was on his film career. Big directors started avoiding giving him lead roles in their A-list films, due to which the pace of his career suddenly slowed down. The bodice and hem were accompanied by controversies: The name associated with cricketer Sreesanth, even after the MMS scandal, Riya Sen’s personal life remained continuously on the radar of the media. Every small and big activity of hers started being made a part of gossip: Rumors with cricketer Sreesanth: During the IPL season in 2011, there were reports in the media that Riya Sen was in love with Indian fast bowler S. She is dating Sreesanth and both may get married soon. However, Rhea immediately dismissed these reports on social media, calling them complete nonsense and rumours. Girlfriend Kissing Controversy: Exactly one year later, i.e. in the year 2012, Riya Sen once again came into controversy, when a photo of one of her private parties was leaked on the internet. In this viral picture, she was seen kissing one of her female friends, due to which there was a lot of uproar in the conservative society. Worked in OTT and regional cinema, but could not become a ‘superstar’. Despite all these big and mentally disturbing controversies, Riya Sen never gave up and continued her work in the film industry. Apart from Hindi, he has shown his acting skills in many brilliant Bengali, Tamil and Telugu films. Later, she also played mature characters in many popular OTT web series like Ragini MMS Returns and Point Blank. In 2017, she married her long-time boyfriend Shivam Tiwari in a very private ceremony and settled in her life. Today, even at the age of 45, she looks very fit and glamorous, but it cannot be denied that if that video scandal of 2005 had not happened, perhaps Riya Sen would have been standing in the ranks of Bollywood’s top-league superstars.
