You can’t decide whom to fall in love with. It just happens.
BIPASHA BASUYou can’t decide whom to fall in love with. It just happens.
BIPASHA BASUMy philosophy towards life is to enjoy it to the fullest and have fun. I am one of those ‘laugh-out-loud’ kinds. I am quirky, yet witty.
BIPASHA BASUI have done some tacky films, but then they were all my decisions, and I’m happy to have made those because they have made me who I am.
BIPASHA BASUAs women, we tend to take the easy way out in showbiz. I have done movies where all I did was look pretty in every frame.
BIPASHA BASUYou don’t have to do offbeat films to prove that you can act. I have done it but only to prove myself that I can fit convincingly into every kind of films. I want to do the 100 crore film where the hero does all the work, and I get to relax.
BIPASHA BASUFor the longest time, Indian women have been okay with being curvy. But I think the modern Indian woman needs to get toned. I don’t endorse being thin. Anorexia and bulimia are a reality in India because everybody wants to be thin.
BIPASHA BASUI enjoy the TV series ‘Dexter,’ where there’s a reason for every kill. Quentin Tarantino is a favourite, and a ‘Kill Bill’ action-packed movie would be up my street. I’d love to be India’s first scream queen!
BIPASHA BASUFor me, modelling has been an advantage because if I hadn’t been modelling, I would never have been spotted as an actress. I didn’t have any intention of becoming an actress.
BIPASHA BASUI know I look good. The regular adjectives that come my way – sexy, hot, dusky, bong bombshell I love them.
BIPASHA BASUWhen things have gone really wrong in my life, I’ve cried like a child. I have really, really cried. I cry it out. Two-three days I cry, and then I’m like, enough, time to deal with reality and figure a way out. This is the way I have dealt with everything.
BIPASHA BASUKissing onscreen is the worst thing in the world. I’m OK with lovemaking scenes, but I hate kissing.
BIPASHA BASUAs a child, I was a brat, and my parents didn’t know how to control me. So they told me ghost stories, which stayed with me. I am still petrified of darkness and being alone.
BIPASHA BASUI have blind trust in people. Even if that ends up hurting me, I won’t change. I will go on trusting people because that’s the only way I know to love someone.
BIPASHA BASUI am a positive person. I am not cynical. If you are born in this world, no matter who you are, negative things will happen. If you aren’t positive as a person, you’ll be very unhappy. It’s extremely important to be positive, to laugh, to be happy, to accept life as it comes.
BIPASHA BASUWhenever I get married, it will be a Bengali wedding. If I won’t have a Bengali wedding, my mother won’t come. She has warned me. So, I am going to have a Bengali wedding for sure.
BIPASHA BASUI actually wanted to be a doctor. But doing all those horrid rat dissections made me faint. I studied science till the 12th standard and later took up commerce. I was planning to do chartered accountancy, but fate had something else in store for me.
