Riya Sen in Sri Adi Manav

Bringing in Bollywood faces on TV soaps is the tried and tested formula producers resort to, in a bid to rake in the TRPs and now we hear Paritosh Painter has brought in “good friend” Riya Sen to lend some glamour to Sri Adi Manav. Sen will play herself on the show. A source informs, “Riya will play herself in the show. Shri, Adi and Manav are die-hard fans of Riya, who is a popular Bollywood celebrity and the whole episode is about winning a dinner date with her. The three boys attempt a quiz which gives the winner a chance of dining with Riya. Sri wins the quiz and is all set to go on the date when the organisers tell him he can take a friend or a family member along. He is in a tizzy now, as Adi and Manav too are crazy about her. He later decides to sacrifice the dinner for his two best friends and asks them to avail of the opportunity. But they wouldn’t go without Sri, who is the real winner. The trio refuses to go and news reaches Riya, she is left aghast. She decides to meet them to figure out the reason behind refusing to dine with her. When she comes to know of the real reason, she requests the organisers to let the entire family from here on of the winner come along with him.” Paritosh, who produces the show, confirmed Riya’s presence on the show. We texted Riya Sen but she didn’t revert. The episode is likely to air on January 8, 2010 on Sab TV.
