Her last lead role was in ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ in 2006 opposite Shreyas Talpade. Then, she appeared in 2007 in the sizzling title song of ‘Heyy Babyy’. The song was a hit but Riya seemed to have lost among the bunch of girls in the song.
Now, she has a cameo in ‘Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein’ where she also has an entire item song shot exclusively on her. Titled ‘Sajan Mera’, the song also features the film’s lead Sarwar Ahuja who appears to be all pensive and troubled as per the demand of the situation in the song.
Produced by Rajesh Gupta and directed by Manish Goel, the film marks the debut of Tabassum’s grand daughter Khushi as the leading lady.
However, Riya is not cooperating with the makers for the promotion of the film on the plea that the makers only wanted to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film.
This is why she was demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film. However, the film being a small budgeted one, the makers are not ready to bow down to Riya’s demands.
