Riya Sen refuses to shoot intimate scenes for web series

Actress Riya Sen, who will feature in ALT Balaji's "Ragini MMS Returns", says she had reservations shooting for the intimate scenes for the upcoming web series. "I had reservations shooting for the intimate scene. I discussed my discomfort the director Suyash Vadhavkar and finally convinced him to tone down the scene," Riya said in a statement. Essaying a pivotal role as Simran in the horror and sex genre, Riya read the script and knew that the series would feature an intimate scene between her and her co-star Nishant Malkani. However, while shooting the scene, the actress felt uncomfortable. Fearing that she would have to breach her comfort zone, Riya approached the director of the web series and conveyed her concern. The director toned down the intimate scene considerably.

It features lead actors Karishma Sharma and Siddharth Gupta standing really close and posing topless in a classroom. The caption on the poster reads: "They didn't know then that it was a threesome". The web series seems to have some jaw-dropping scenes and twists, on the lines of the movie "Ragini MMS", which was released in 2011. The second installment of the erotic horror franchise was released in 2014 and featured actress Sunny Leone in the lead.
