Rimi Sen says she 'has achieved nothing' despite being part of big projects

Updated : Apr 9, 2021, 21:47 IST427 views

'Dhoom' actress Rimi Sen, who made her Bollywood debut in 2000 has been leading headlines for quite sometime now. The actress, who is all set to make her comeback in the film industry has been making certain revelations about her film career. Now in another interview, Rimi went on to say that she was nothing more than 'furniture' in some of her biggest films and that she worked only for money. She said, 'That time I wasn’t mature. I was young, aggressive, I was getting a lot of work and I used to go with the flow. I was there only for money. I did Dhoom, Phir Hera Pheri, Hungama, Golmaal and I had the role of furniture in all of them. That time the film industry was male dominated. Today content is the hero. Back then, hero was the only hero! OTT platforms have changed the scene today.' Further more, Rimi said, 'I feel if I had fought for 3-4 more years, I might have succeeded. My only fault is I failed to wait and didn’t agree to struggle. If I had, I would’ve got to work with more directors and the scenario would’ve changed. Now when I watch my films after 10 years, I realise what have I achieved? Nothing.' Talking about what has changed in the industry in the last two decades, the actress said, 'First of all, content. Earlier it was like a money making business. Today, we educate our public. Take Pink or any Raju Hirani film. They aren’t preachy, yet there’s a message. Now it’s no more entertainment. It’s also going in the sensibility zone. Today, there’s work for everyone. Filmmakers today don’t worry about 100-crore business or audience, they have become fearless.' When asked what kept her away for 10 long years from the glamour industry, she replied, 'I never craved for attention or was fond of glamour. I’m a simple person and didn’t always want to be in front of camera. In school also, no one knew my name. I was like a back bencher. I just feel uncomfortable with the attention.' When asked what advice would she give to her younger self, Rimi said, 'I’d tell her to fight back and sustain a little more. Also to handle people in a better way. Earlier, I was way too honest and on the face. Producers used to hesitate to call me for interviews as they feared what I’ll say. I’m still honest, but I am better today.'
