Career
Since
childhood Sen nursed the dream of becoming an actor. After completing her
studies, she persuaded her mother to accompany her to Mumbai. She later said that
she wasn't encouraged by anyone in her family except for her grandfather. After
doing the rounds, she got into ads including one Coca-Cola ad with Aamir Khan. She was
instantly noticed and her first offer for films started rolling in.

followed it with appearance in big budget movies like Dhoom (2004), Garam Masala (2005) and Golmaal (2006). She also did a cameo in
2006 film Dhoom 2, and followed

Gaddaar alongside newcomer actor Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Rimi
is currently going by the screen name Rimmi. 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 and stay apart from others.
Controversy
In
2006, Sen made racist comments about black African people in an online
interview about a film, saying, "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." Sen's comments were condemned by human
rights and anti-racism organisations in India and abroad and has not apologised
for her comments. Since making these comments her career has suffered, but has still
been able to hold on to her role in the Dhoom series.
