From Flowerpot Roles to Dubai Real Estate Success: Rimi Sen’s Journey
Rimi Sen’s exit from Bollywood wasn't an accident. Despite starring in massive hits like Hungama (2003) and Golmaal (2006), Rimi recently admitted she felt like "furniture" in male-centric films."I was tired of being typecast in comedies where I had no significant role. I wanted to do films like Johnny Gaddaar, but they didn't work at the box office," Rimi shared. By 2011, after Shagird, Rimi stepped away, later appearing in Bigg Boss 9 (2015) before finding her true calling in the UAE's thriving property sector.
Why Rimi Sen Chose Dubai Over India for Business Opportunities?
In a bold comparison that has gone viral, Rimi explained why she chose Dubai over India for her second innings:
- Systemic Discipline: In Dubai, the market is strictly regulated. Developers and agents have clear, separate roles, preventing the overlap and chaos often seen in Indian property deals.
- Professional Status: Rimi noted that in the UAE, property agents are respected on par with financial consultants. "In India, if you ask for two months’ brokerage, people look at you as if you have committed a crime," she remarked.
- Business-Friendly Policies: She highlighted that Dubai’s 95% expatriate population is a testament to its welcoming nature, contrasting it with India’s "overnight policy changes" and "thousands of taxes" that complicate business growth.

Plastic Surgery vs Smart Maintenance: Why Celebrities Look Unrecognizable
Social media has recently been abuzz with "Before and After" photos of Rimi Sen. Addressing the speculation with characteristic bluntness, Rimi clarified that her transformation is not the result of surgery, but of non-invasive discipline.
Her Current Skin Regimen Includes:
- Botox & Fillers: For subtle age management.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): For natural skin rejuvenation.
- Future Plans: Rimi stated she is open to a facelift, but only after she turns 50.
"One shouldn’t need plastic surgery unless you are on the run after a crime!" she joked, crediting her youthful appearance to expert doctors outside India and a disciplined lifestyle.
