Riya Sen

   Rohini Iyer

The name is:
Riya Sen

Your claim to fame :
Starred in music videos of Jagjit Singh, Sonu Nigam, Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar. My upcoming movies are N Chandra's Style Love you Hamesha.

On a scale of 1-10, how Net-savvy are you?:
I would say 7. I'm pretty net savvy. I study IT and fashion at NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology), so I have had to learn MS Paint, Powerpoint…the works.

How often do you surf?:
It depends on my mood. When I first got my computer I went berserk. I used to sit up surfing all night. It bored me after a point though. These days I log on only if I need information for college projects, or if I have an afternoon free to check my mail.

What do you like best about the Web?:
Email. I can't get enough of mailing my friends. I have so many friends living abroad that email is like a dream come true.

If you could change something about the Internet, it would be:
I would remove all pornography, especially sites hosting nude pictures of actresses. They take your face and superimpose it with some nude model, and there are some pictures of me, too! I saw them once and they're awful.

Your idea of a perfect Web site would now be:
Something that keeps me updated on the daily news and also doubles up as a good search engine.

Do you go ego surfing, checking out pages or sites devoted to you?:
I do. When I first went ego surfing, I was surprised to find a lot of pages devoted to me. There are pictures picked up from various magazines (some that I absolutely hate) as well as a lot of articles that go on and on. It felt really good.

One celebrity you would like to chat with:
I have a long list. There's Johnny Depp (I loooooove him), Tom Cruise and, yes, Keanu Reeves. I would die and go straight to heaven if I could chat with any of these guys!
