Riya
Wasn't
Comfortable
In
The
Roles
She
Was
Playing
PTI
quoted
Riya
as
saying,
"I
realised
some
of
the
films
I
did,
after
a
few
hits
that
I
had,
they
weren't
working
for
me
because
I
wasn't
comfortable
in
the
roles
I
was
playing.
That's
why
probably
people
thought
I
was
a
bad
actress
and
I
don't
blame
them.
At
that
point
when
I
did
a
lot
of
Bollywood
movies,
it
was
about
being
sexy,
the
clothes
that
you
wear,
the
makeup
that
you
do.
I
didn't
fit
into
that."
People
Perceived
Her
Differently
In
Real
Life
She
continued,
"Getting
those
tags,
it
was
just
terrible,
horrible.
Living
with
that...
I
was
in
school
when
the
tag
of
‘sexy' started
coming
way.
There
was
so
much
pressure
to
always
look
perfect,
a
certain
way.
Even
when
I
went
out,
people
had
this
perception
that
Oh
Riya
Sen
because
they
feel
what
you're
on
screen,
you're
the
same
in
real
life."
She
Couldn't
Believe
That
Was
Her
On
Screen
Riya
hails
from
a
family
of
artists,
with
her
grandmother
being
Suchitra
Sen,
her
mother
being
Moon
Moon
Sen
and
sister
being
Raima
Sen.
She
further
said,
"Everyone
wants
to
be
glamorous,
no
doubt,
but
I
was
so
young
when
I
came
here.
I
was
doing
all
these
roles,
wearing
a
mini
skirt,
running
around
and
acting
‘cute'.
When
I'd
watch
myself
on
screen
I'd
be
like
‘eeks,
I
can't
believe
that's
me.'
When
She
Decided
To
Quit
Bollywood
Explaining
why
she
quit
Bollywood
and
went
on
to
act
in
Bengali
films,
she
said,
"I
found
myself
very
uneasy,
very
uncomfortable.
It
wasn't
me.
I
couldn't
go
on
set
everyday,
get
my
hair
curled
for
hours
and
sit
with
all
that
make-up.
It
just
didn't
do
it
for
me.
I
took
a
conscious
decision
to
stop
working
in
Bollywood
movies
at
that
time."
