Riya Sen first appeared as a child artiste in the film Vishkanya, where she played the role of the young Pooja Bedi. At the age of 15 she was cast in a major role in Bharathiraaja's Tamil film Tajmahal. Her Bollywood film debut was supposed to have been in Love You Hamesha, opposite Akshaye Khanna, but the film was stalled and she ultimately made her debut in N. Chandra's low-budget comedy Style.[3]

Though Style met with success at the box office, most of her other films have not done as well.[4][5] An exception was Jhankaar Beats, another comedy in which she co-starred with Shayan Munshi, Juhi Chawla, Rahul Bose, Rinke Khanna and Sanjay Suri. Most of her appearances have been item numbers and cameos.[6][7] Her few leading roles have been in low-budget films.[8] Though the depiction of kissing on screen is considered inappropriate in India,[9] Riya has shared on-screen kisses with her co-stars (Silsiilay and Style), though she takes a stand against casual kissing.[10]

She was slated to appear in Anjan Dutta's The Bong Connection, with her sister, but was eventually dropped from the project.[11] She was replaced by Peeya Rai Chaudhary.[12] It would have been the second time the two sisters acted together, after director Ajai Sinha's The Bachelor. She has also appeared in a Bangladeshi film, titled Money Porey Tomakey. Her most notable South Indian film to date has been director Santhosh Sivan's Ananthabhadram, which was also the director's first Malayalam venture. During the filming of Shaadi No. 1, she was hit by a motorbike, and supposedly had a near death experience.
