Rimi Sen Birthday: Did You Know the Former Bigg Boss Contestant Was Once Considered the Lucky Mascot in Bollywood?

Rimi Sen turns 39 today. The actress had a short-lived film career but featured in some of the most amazing comedy movies. She is a talented actress, whose potential was not tapped into by the film industry. Weird as it may sound, her comic timing in the box-office dud Thank You was wonderful and she was able to match Irfan Khan on screen. Do check out Rimi's scenes in the movie. In fact, she was also fine in De Taali, playing the antagonist-ish character. Of course, her most talked-about film appearance has to be YRF''s Dhoom, where despite limited screentime, she made an impact.

She was also a contestant on the ninth season of the most controversial reality show, Bigg Boss. She regretted her decision almost immediately after entering the show. "I am venturing into direction next year so I am using ‘Bigg Boss’ as my base to connect with my fans again. I have been very choosy about my roles, so my fans have seen me in a handful of films in my 12-year Bollywood career,” she said before entering the house.
