Actress Rimi Sen, who appeared in many hit films like 'Hungama', 'Dhoom', 'Deewane Huye Pagal' and 'Phir Hera Pheri', has been missing from the industry for 13 years.
In a recent interview with HT, the actress revealed the reason for staying away from the industry. She said that she was tired of doing comedy films continuously. Rimi also said that she did not get work in Bollywood until she started pleading.

I wanted to do films like 'Johnny Gaddar': Rimi
Rimi said, 'I was tired of doing comedy films. There were not many roles for me. In such films, I used to have only the role of furniture.
I had a good role in some films like 'Hungama' and 'Johnny Gaddar', so 'Johnny Gaddar' was a hit. I wanted to do similar work.
Rimi was also seen with Salman Khan in the film 'Kyun Ki'.
'Everyone here helps according to their own benefit'
Rimi, who has worked with actors like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and John Abraham, said that she is not in touch with these actors either. She said, 'I cannot ask for help from anyone. In the industry, you don't get help unless you beg. Why won't others look after their own benefit? Why would anyone come forward to help anyone?'
Rimi had worked with Bipasha Basu in films like 'Dhoom-2' and 'Phir Hera-Pheri'.
'Here talent lies in the store room'
Rimi Sen further said that she was not good at marketing herself. She said- 'In this industry, one has to take some risk. Talent comes later. First you should know how to handle people. Otherwise your talent will remain lying in the store room. Mine also remained lying because I did not know how to do my own PR.'
Now Rimi has changed a lot. However, she is also very fit.
Rimi was last seen in the 2011 film 'Thank You' and Nana Patekar starrer 'Shagarid'. After this, she produced the film 'Budhia Singh' in 2016 but that too did not work.
