The moment of awakening came for Riya on the sets of David Dhawan's Shaadi No.1, where she was wearing a bikini for the first in her career.
"Although I am sexy otherwise too, I look far hotter in a bikini," she reveals with joy.
She adds: "Since I'm playing glamorous and sexy girl in Shaadi No.1, I had to wear this skimpy dress. This is also the first time in my life I'm wearing a swimsuit in any film. When I looked at my self after that I felt really happy. I realised how sexy and glamorous I look in a swimsuit.
But despite her killer looks Riya isn't oblivious to the stiff competition from her contemporaries.
"Nothing comes easy in life. I am aware of the girls around me and that inspires me to work even harder," she says.
But why she agreed to do a such film which has little scope for her?
"I'm hardly concerned about the footage I get in the film. I am a die-hard fan of David Dhawan. I wanted to work under his direction and that is the reason why I agreed to wear a swimsuit. I have done comic roles earlier too but comedy in Dhawanji's films is much louder," says Riya defending herself.
Although there are three leading ladies in the film, four songs are picturised on Riya alone. We are sure David has tapped Riya's talent in the most optimum way. Right David?
