One thing the IPL has done, is to throw quite a few of our lesser known actors and actresses into the limelight. Take the case of Riya Sen, for instance. While the actress is not exactly unknown, thanks to Salman Rushdie, the IPL has definitely made life busier for them than ever.

Riya is the brand ambassador for IPL and has to attend at least five matches. Even though her favourites, the Kolkata Knight Riders, are not doing too well, the lady has little time to grieve. She is currently all set to make her debut in a Rituparno Ghosh film, where she will have a deglamourised look. Also in her kitty are films like Love Khichdi with Randeep Hooda, Heroes directed by Samir Karnik, a children's film, Shor Machaye Haiyya, and comedy called Paying Guest based on Paritosh Painter's play by the same name. So, what with traveling all over the country with the IPL matches, and the number of films in her kitty, Riya is definitely going places these days.
