Last seen in Vodka Diaries (2018) alongside Kay Kay Menon, Raima Sen may be missing from Bollywood, but has been finding a fresh lease of life in the digital world. After Forbidden Love, Black Widows and Hello 2, Sen featured in The Last Hour. The supernatural thriller, which dropped on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, sees the actor play Sanjay Kapoor’s wife in the series. “There’s a mystery element to my character,” she says, refusing to divulging any details. “It’s an intriguing crime drama; there are a lot of questions that need answers.” 

Like most actors, Sen, too, finds the OTT world throwing up “new challenges” to actors by providing an opportunity to portray “diverse roles”. The Last Hour came her way out of the blue. She was in Kolkata when she got a call from the show’s creator-director Amit Kumar, who earlier helmed the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Monsoon Shootout (2013). “He told me that he needed to do [my] screen test. I have a phobia about it. I avoided it by telling him that I will do it in Mumbai,” adds Sen. Later, they caught up in the city and she agreed to go through the process. “I had this inkling that I will never get it, but to my surprise, he later called to say that I was on board.”
