Phir Hera Pheri actress Rimi Sen duped of ₹4.14 crore by a fraudster

Actress Rimi Sen, who has starred in a string of successful films like Dhoom (2005), Golmaal (2006) and Johnny Gaddaar (2007), has been duped of a jaw-dropping ₹4.14 crore by a fraudster who was imposing as a businessman.

The Mumbai Police filed a complaint at Khar Police Station on Wednesday against the Goregaon-based man (named Raunak Jatin Vyas), who Rimi claims had asked her to invest in his company that manufactured LED lights.

In her complaint, Rimi has stated that she first met Jatin at a Mumbai gym in 2019 and they became friends. Later on, he came up to her with the offer and promised 40 percent profit if she invested in his venture.

However, when Rimi approached Jatin at the stipulated date for her profit share, he stopped responding to her calls and became uncommunicable. Later on, she learnt that the venture was never started in the first place. That’s when the actress realized that she had been cheated and resorted to legal aid.

Noteworthy, Rimi Sen, who owns the Mamlo Film Production house, has starred in a number of Hindi, Bengali and Telugu films in a career that spans close to 20 years. The actress was a celebrity contestant in the ninth season of the Indian version of the reality TV show Big Brother, Bigg Boss aired in October 2015. She was evicted after staying in the house for 7.5 weeks.
