Bollywood actress and producer Rimi Sen, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with blockbuster films like Hungama, Dhoom, and Golmaal, has once again made headlines for reasons beyond her film career. This time, it’s her success in Dubai’s real estate sector that has caught everyone’s attention. According to Indian media, 44-year-old Rimi has spoken about her decision to distance herself from Bollywood, choosing instead to pursue her business ventures in the Middle East.
After years of being a household name in Bollywood, Rimi’s connection to the Hindi film industry began to fray, and instead of waiting for a comeback, she decided to move forward and carve her own path. Her journey took her to Dubai, where she has achieved significant success in the property business. Rimi has described Dubai as a welcoming city, where almost 95% of the population consists of expatriates. As a native of Kolkata, Rimi believes that Dubai offers opportunities to people from all backgrounds.
In a comparison between Dubai and India, Rimi pointed out that doing business in India can be challenging due to frequent policy changes, high taxes, and complex regulations. In contrast, Dubai offers a clear and predictable business environment. Specifically, Rimi highlighted the property sector, stating that it has become a well-functioning industry due to the presence of clear regulations and laws. She also noted that the property market in Dubai is growing, and investing in it is more beneficial than making fixed deposits.
When asked about her experiences in Bollywood, Rimi expressed her frustration with the industry’s treatment of women. She stated that women actors face short-lived careers, while male superstars reign supreme. The presence of Salmans and Shah Rukh Khans in the industry only reinforced her decision to leave. Rimi’s comments have sparked debate about the state of Bollywood and the treatment of its female actors.
