Raima Sen Wallpaper

Raima walked the ramp and stole hearts

Raima Sen was the star attraction on Delhi Fashion Week when she walked the ramp for Bangalore- based designer duo Jason and Anshu who aimed to make a statement on saving the environment.

Jason and Anshu from convention by making Sen do the catwalk at the beginning of their show titled 'Electric Green', which blended nature with technology and tried to make a statement about environment and energy.

Wearing a sleeveless gown with lots of accessories, Raima said she chose to walk the ramp for the duo because she liked their theme. "I like many of the clothes as well. The collection was quite different with the designers using lots of traditional colour and natural textures," Sen said.

Describing the collection, Jason said: "We felt that the world is getting exhausted and is really in need of a source of energy. Our collection is just and artistic reconfirmation of the natural energy." Sen was one of the few celebrities who lent glamour quotient to the event which began in the capital on Tuesday.

"A celebrity is also a human being. If they look good wearing the design, it is quite all right," said Anshu.

Nobody associates me with skin show:Raima Sen

Enough of second lead or supporting roles for the Bong beauty Raima Sen.

After the success of Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd., Raima says, “I started getting many lead offers after Honeymoon... and now you’ll only see me in lead roles.” So, does that mean she’ll not do a supporting role at all? “I’ll do a supporting role only if it's a Sanjay Leela Bhansali or a Yash Raj film because their women look classy and gorgeous,” she gives back. Quite ambitious!

Raima was in the city to promote her upcoming flick C Kkompany, which also stars Tusshar Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty and Rajpal Yadav. Talking about the film, Raima informs, “The film is a clean comedy which also has an inspirational message. And I play the sister of a don, which is played by Mithun Chakraborty.”

Raima, in her filmi career, has done a lot of serious cinema and has won a lot of accolades for it too. So how is it doing comedy now? “It feels good. Serious cinema sometimes gets a li’l heavy for an actor, though comedy isn’t easy either. But I’m learning,” she says, adding, “However, I’m still doing serious cinema, which include Aparna Sen’s film Japanese Wife and another with Rituparno Ghosh.”

But after having been in the industry for quite sometime now, wonder why has the pretty gal not seen much commercial success yet? “No doubt it has been a struggle for me, but thank God my performance as an actor hasn’t deteriorated. And I have a feeling that when success will come, it will be steady. I have learnt a lot from the past and feel maturer now,” she says.

So, since Raima has decided to do more commercial films now, is she game for skin show too? “Nobody associates me with skin show. No one has ever approached me to do an item number even,” she laughs. And what about the new fad with gals to have a size zero figure? “No way. I will never be able to attain that as I’m a big foodie.”

Raima is also doing a film with her sister Riya. “Yes, we are doing a Bengali film together,” she confirms, adding, “We are very professional when it comes to acting. We don’t bring our work home. At home we are like any other sisters would be. We take what comes to us. That way we are not that ambitious. Riya may look ambitious, but let me tell you she’s not.”
