The Riya Sen & Sharman Joshi partnership
From Style (2001) to 3 Bachelors (2012). It started with Style (2001).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Style; the 2010s to 3 Bachelors. Riya Sen acted in every film; Sharman Joshi acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Riya Sen was the first actor cast in 'Style' (2001). She then recommended Sharman Joshi for the male lead after working with him in a music video. The director took her word and signed him without a formal audition.
- In '3 Bachelors' (2012), Sharman and Riya improvised the entire 'chai tapri' breakup scene. He kept adding silly reasons for the breakup, and she responded by throwing water on him — none of it was in the script. The director kept the camera rolling.
- During 'Shaadi No. 1' (2005), Sharman and Riya developed a running joke where they'd greet each other with fake marriage proposals in different accents. They kept it up through the entire shoot, even between takes.
- Sharman Joshi said in a 2012 interview: 'Riya and I have this unspoken rhythm. She knows exactly when to pause and let me land a joke. I don't have to explain anything to her.'
- The only reason 'Style' (2001) got a theatrical release in the UK was because the distributor saw the rushes of Riya and Sharman's comic timing in the 'college election' sequence. That UK release later led to Sharman's first international film festival appearance.
