My age group is little tricky, says actor Riddhi Sen

"My age group is little tricky...we're in the middle. We're considered as children, so we can't be seen much in movies. And it isn't anyone's fault," Riddhi said.

"I consider myself to be lucky as the kind of roles I got when I started growing-up from the age of 16, has been interesting. But it's tough to find characters for my age," he added.

Riddhi, son of Bengali actor Kaushik Sen and dancer Reshmi Sen, is shuffling between Bengali and Hindi cinema and is happy to have the best of both worlds.

After playing a brother, who takes the responsibility of his elder sister in the wake of 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War in 'Children of War', Riddhi is now set to play Kajol's teenage son in 'Helicopter Eela'.

About 'Helicopter Eela' Riddhi said, "When director Pradeep Sarkar called me one day for a film about a mother-son and that Kajol will be my mother, I thought he was joking."

"I asked him, if he wants I can audition for the film," he added.

"I didn't audition, but I did an ad with Dada in 2016 and he liked my work," he said.

'Helicopter Eela', which is scheduled to release on October 12, is based on Anand Gandhi's Gujarati play 'Beta, Kaagdo'.

Riddhi says the "biggest crisis" in Indian society is parenting.

"Parenting is the first and last school. It's the foundation. My parents are celebrated people and we discuss everything. They taught me to be independent," he says, adding he plans to pursue filmmaking someday.
