Raima and Riya Sen are coming together…and as sisters…in Vicky Chopra's Seasons Greetings. The episodic film directed by Vicky Chopra will apparently have six stories all coming together in unexpected ways. The two sisters are not too willing to discuss the project.

Raima shooting in Italy says, "Yes, Riya and I are finally coming together as sisters. But I'm yet to hear the script, though I've given the nod. Though she's quite mad we're very much alike in most respects."
Riya speaking about the project earlier has said, "Raima and I stay together in Mumbai. There is not a thing that we don't share. All our friends are common. If she likes someone, so do I. And if I dislike someone, she doesn't have a choice. Our friends say we should've been twins."
The sisters had offers earlier to act together. "But we were pretty sure that if and when we come together, it would have to be as sisters," said Riya. Interestingly, when Shilpa and her sis Shamita came together, it was to play soutens in Deepak Tijori's Fareb.
