: She is noted for her bold on-screen presence, having frequently shared glamorous photos and videos on Instagram that showcase her toned physique and versatile style, from traditional sarees to high-fashion western wear.
Reflecting on the "sexy" tag, Riya stated she was not proud of being considered a 'glamour goddess' the way the media portrayed it, admitting it was a difficult period where she felt she was ahead of her time.

A certified yoga teacher, Riya frequently shares fitness photography that emphasizes strength, flexibility, and holistic well-being over superficial aesthetics.
