| 'I'm going to hold Deepika's hand!' - Bipasha Basu By Webmaster, 11 August, 2008 |
 Bipasha Basu is determined she won't let it get in the way. There are reports of cold vibes between her and her Bachna costar Deepika, while the cast was shooting for a reality show. "I won't allow awkwardness to creep in now. We spent 12 hours that day shooting and laughing together, no tantrums, nothing. Why make a big drama out of everything? Now I'm going to tell Ranbir to hold Minissha's hand for other events and I'll hold Deepika's!" she laughs.Bips is red hot - this time she even has the strands to prove it, giving a red tinge to her fringed bob. In Bachna, she plays a dancer in Shiamak Davar's troupe and also Raj's (Ranbir) live-in girlfriend Radhika. "So tell me, where is all this Mrs Robinson track? I'm not even shown as wrinkled and old! And Mrs Robinson was so much older," she says indignantly. "The media would like me to feel 75 at 29, though I'm only four years older to Ranbir and two to Neil Nitin Mukesh (her Freeze costar). The film doesn't take that angle. Radhika is like me. A girl of today who's ambitious, but who balances her love life." Bipasha giggles that in real life, dancing scares her. Shiamak himself said, 'Oh goody!' when he heard she was playing a dancer in his troupe, but that intimated the star. "I thought 'I have to become thinner.' His dancers don't have an iota of fat - it's insane!" Bipasha even had a tough time working the floors. For her big song Lucky Boy, she hurt her knee bad and found out just a day before. Nothing to do; she slipped on the high heels, grinned and bore it. While she describes Bachna as an easy watch, Bipasha is already sitting pretty this year after Race, a huge hit in 2008's line of duds. "Well, I've had three years of failures too; you never know what audiences are going to accept. Neither Race nor Bachna are path-breaking. They're both a fun day out. I just believe in my gut instinct when I choose films." Three things you like about men? "Intelligence, good looks and height (I'd have to be attracted to the person in the first place) and a sense of humour" Three things you hate about men? "Some of them are vain and can't get over themselves. It's tiring when they're in love with themselves. When they blame women for everything. And when they smell bad because men can have pretty strong bad odour" Three English movies I love "The Godfather, My Best Friend's Wedding and The Magnificent Seven" Three hottest men "Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt and John Abraham. I better mention my boyfriend, he's looking so good in the Dostana trailor that at the Bachna Ae Haseeno trial, everyone started hooting when he came on!" Three things that freak me out "Lizards, ghosts (I'm a big wuss. I can never sleep alone, even if I have to be with my enemy!) and body odour. I'm a gym person so body odour gives me the heebie jeebies. I may be half-blind, but I have a strong nose! Three things I'd never leave home without "Money - very important, my cell phone and my house keys" |
