Riya Sen (born Riya Dev Varma in Kolkata, India on January 24, 1981) is an Indian film actress and model. Sen, who hails from a family of actors including her grandmother Suchitra Sen, mother Moon Moon Sen and sister Raima Sen, began her acting career in 1991 as a child artiste in the film Vishkanya at the age of 15. Her first commercial success in film was with the 2001 sexploitation comedy, Style, a Hindi film directed by N. Chandra. Following this she starred in Pritish Nandy's musical film, Jhankaar Beats (2001) in Hinglish, David Dhawan's comedy film, Shaadi No. 1 (2005) and Santhosh Sivan's Malayalam horror film Ananthabhadram (2005).

Riya was first recognised as a model when she performed in Falguni Pathak's music video Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi at the age of 16. Since then she has appeared in music videos, television commercials, fashion shows, and magazine covers.

Riya has worked as an activist, and has appeared in an AIDS awareness music video with the aim of dispelling popular myths about the disease. She helped raise funds for pediatric eye-care. Considered a sex symbol, Riya has faced controversies such as the infamous MMS clip with actor Ashmit Patel, her semi-nude photograph on photographer Dabboo Ratnani's annual calender and her on-screen kisses in a conservative Indian film industry.
