Actress Riya Sen, made a name for herself as a glamorous starlet with masala Bollywood films like Apna Sapna Money Money, Shaadi No.1 and Qayamat.
Riya now hopes that people will get to see a different her in Rituparno Ghosh's Noukadubi where she plays a demure wife.
Riya, who stars alongside her sister Raima in the movie, does not feel that she could not find good roles because of her glamorous image.
'I am used to doing up my face before going in front of the camera but in this film my opening shot was the ship wreck. I did the make-up really well, then they smudged it. But I enjoyed that.
'I won't say that being glamorous has made much difference but I am confident that I am different in the movie,' Riya told.
Granddaughter of Bengali screen legend Suchitra Sen, Riya says that despite belonging to Bengal she never got a chance to star in any movie from the region until Noukadubi. 'It was really a novel experience for me to return to my roots after such a long time.'
