Drunk Riya creates havoc after charging 25 lakhs?
A Strange Love Story being produced by Shohreh Seth and Suresh Bhagat has indeed given them a strange experience. Shohreh Seth engaged Riya Sen in the lead role for the film opposite the new entrant Eddie Seth. But he has been bitten and not smitten by Riya. “Yes, strangely enough Riya’s behaviour has made me realise the bitter side of being a producer. We as producers always expect our films to be shot on time as well as release on time but with Riya’s strange behaviour my film was jeopardised. She would come on the sets dead drunk, misbehave and not be able to give the required shots. She would go into the make up room and sleep for hours. As a result I have not only burnt the negatives but also lost an exorbitant amount,” says Shohreh. Seth does not stop here he also discloses the remuneration paid. “I am the first producer to have signed Riya for 25 lakhs. She has never been given this amount ever in her earlier ventures. She had in fact demanded and I agreed upon her fees instantly. In addition to this I have also given her a few of lakhs of rupees towards her maintenance as well as her clothing,” says Shohreh.
The film also stars Ashotosh Rana who plays a pivotal role in the film. But he very diplomatically evades any knowledge about Riya’s misconduct though. “As a co-artiste I have had no problems with Riya. I don’t know what exactly transpired between Shohreh and Riya. Probably they both could give you the right answer though!
However, Riya Sen remained unavailable for comment.
