Indian actress Riya Sen gets lots of crank calls and she likes it, the Bollywood starlet told the Times of India newspaper in an interview.

"My mom and dad are used to blank calls at odd hours at home. In fact if I don't get attention I feel I am not good looking any more," Sen said.

Sen, 25, is a granddaughter of legendary film actress Suchitra Sen and daughter of Moon Moon Sen, a big name in the Bengali film industry based in Calcutta.

Riya Sen started her film career at age 15 when she appeared in "Taj Mahal," a movie made in southern India by director Bharati Raja.

She also has appeared in Hindi music videos and acted in Bollywood movies such as "Diwana Tere Nam Ka" (Mad after you) and "Style."

However, she has not taken on any new film roles in a while because she hasn't found the right one yet, she said.

"I still haven't got what I really deserve. If I want to I could sign three solo-lead movies every single day," she told the paper in an interview published Wednesday.

Bollywood, India's prolific Hindi-language movie industry, is based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.
