Early Life and Education Riddhi has continued to explore acting as well as filmmaking. His performances have been recognized at several award platforms, including the National Film Awards and Filmfare Awards East. He also directed the short film Coldfire, which won Best Short Film at the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival, demonstrating his interest in storytelling beyond acting. Riddhi Sen's connection with acting began almost as soon as he entered the world of theatre. Growing up in a family deeply connected with Bengali stage and cinema, he was exposed to rehearsals, performances and theatrical culture from childhood. His grandmother recalled that he began performing at an extremely young age, and theatre became an important part of his formative years. His association with Swapnasandhani provided an important platform for his development as a performer. Rather than entering cinema without preparation, Riddhi gained extensive stage experience and learned the importance of voice, movement and character interpretation. This theatrical foundation later became visible in his film performances. Riddhi gradually moved into cinema and appeared in both Bengali and Hindi productions. His role in Kahaani introduced him to a wider Hindi-speaking audience, while films such as Parched and Chauranga gave him opportunities to work in serious, socially conscious stories. Several of these projects also received recognition at international film festivals. Career Journey & Entry into Bollywood The defining milestone of his early film career came with Nagarkirtan. Directed by Kaushik Ganguly, the film presented Riddhi in a demanding central role as Parimal. His performance received widespread critical appreciation and earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor. At only 19, he became one of the youngest actors to receive the prestigious honour. The success of Nagarkirtan significantly strengthened Riddhi's position as a serious young performer. He continued working with established filmmakers and took on roles that allowed him to move between emotionally intense drama, mainstream Hindi cinema and Bengali storytelling. Riddhi has also shown interest in directing and filmmaking. In 2020, he directed the short film Coldfire, which went on to win a short-film award at the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival. This experience demonstrated that his creative ambitions extend beyond acting and that he is interested in developing stories from behind the camera as well.
