Her paternal grandmother Ila Devi, was the princess of Cooch Behar (in Bengal), whose younger sister Gayatri Devi is the Maharani of Jaipur. Raima Sen made her debut in the film "Godmother", which was a critically acclaimed success, but her minor role may have been overlooked in favor of the protagonist, played by Shabana Azmi. She then starred in the film "Daman" playing Raveena Tandon's daughter, where her small performance was appreciated.

Raima Sen breakthrough role came when she starred in the Rituparno Ghosh's film "Chokher Bali". She won much praise for her role as the simple, submissive Ashalata. After a few more average movies Raima Sen had a critically acclaimed hit in 2005 with "Parineeta", where she played the younger cousin of the heroine, played by the debutante Vidya Balan. Since then Raima Sen has had two more hits with the action thriller "Dus" and the Bengali film "Antar Mahal" (where she had a very small role). Most recently, she appeared in the Hindi film "Eklavya" (again co-starring with Vidya Balan and Saif Ali Khan). She has yet, however, to play the leading role as an actress in a hit movie. Raima Sen continues to model, particularly for the Indian cosmetics giant Lakme.
