Guess who's pampering Riya Sen?

It seems like Riya Sen is loving every moment of working in Nauka Dubi. The film, which is being shot in West Bengal has Riya and Raima working together – not as sisters but rather as wives going through turbulent marriages.

And from what we are given to believe, Riya has been getting special treatment on the sets. All of it has to do with one man.

Now before you start wondering just who the man is, allow us to tell you it's Rituparno Ghosh. The director considers Riya to be her daughter and has been pampering her silly. So everything Riya asks for is promptly made available.

Nauka Dubi is based on an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's novel by the same name and is being shot in Shantiniketan right now. Riya has been cast opposite Jishu Sengupta who also starred in The Last Lear.

Riya Sen Gets Professional In Fever!

Riya Sen, who wasn’t otherwise quite professional with her work, has had a sudden fit of professionalism. Perhaps it has something to do with the big banners and directors she is working for.

She had been continuously shooting for Rituparno Ghosh’s Abohoman and a short film directed by students of Subhash Ghai’s film school. Hectic schedules took a toll over Riya’s health and she fell sick with 102 degree fever.

But she co-operated with the students because they had a limited budget and time constraints. She kept shooting despite her fever.
Now wouldn’t I call that a fit of professionalism. Of course I would!
