Rimi

Rimi Sen is an Indian actress working in the Bollywood film industry. Sen's birth name is Shoumitra Sen. In an interview she said she doesn't use her original name because it sounds unusual.She moved to Mumbai to become a film actress. She was first noticed when she auditioned for a Coke advertisement. The director of the ad, Priyadarshan, was impressed by her and cast her in his film Hungama. The film was a hit and established her in the industry.She then played Amitabh Bachchan's and Hema Malini's granddaughter in the hit film Baghban. Her next big hit was the Yashraj produced Dhoom. Her latest release is Phir Hera Pheri, also she is currently filming for the sequel to Dhoom and Golmaal.

Rimi is now going by the screen name Rimii. She explains the name change as a career move: there are many other Sens working in Bollywood right now, and a single name may help her stand out from the crowd.She has recently made a racist remark about Africans stating: "I play a sweet and beautiful girl in the film. The best thing that I like about the film is that though it has four heroes, I am the only heroine. Rohit Shetty is amazing as a director. He can make even a black African look pretty."
