Not every actress can hold a sword and fight in front of the camera, but actress Riya Deepsi has that opportunity. Riya who plays Princess Barsine in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Porus  will have a face to face fight with Porus played by Laksh. Speaking on the fight sequence Riya says,"It was my dream to play a warrior princess and am so proud to play this role of Princess Barsine in Porus. Fighting with a sword is a different ball game altogether, I did a workshop during Mahabharat also and before Porus was on air I also have done another workshop. Laksh and our fight choreographer Deepak Das both of helped me a lot.'

And at the end I did complete my part. Shooting for the fight sequence was exciting and you get charged to do well." Riya also adds,"I was a complete tomboy in my school and college days and I have also learnt Taekwondo and participated in state level championship. I feel every girl needs to know self-defense  well. I carry a pepper spray and a small knife in my bag." How is working with Laksh? "Actually me, Laksh and Suhani are a great team. We gel pretty well with each other. On and off set we have a wonderful relationship."
