They are making a mockery of my name
Bipasha Basu is irritated about a C-grade film being named Bipasha-The Black Beauty

Even before her next film Corporate hits theatres, Bipasha Basu has another film named after her. While the actress is fully aware of the film, called Bipasha-The Black Beauty, she is unaware of the plot. The promos of the film advertise Needhi Gill, an unknown actress as Bipasha.
"I think they are making a mockery of my name," she says. "I have a beautiful name. This is a C-grade film and hope it is not based on my life. I don't think my life is worth making a film on."
Having a film being named after her does not excite her, but she is looking forward to Corporate. "I think every woman should see Corporate. They will identify with the film," she says. "The film is about a woman who stands tall in a man's world. She strikes the perfect balance between her professional and personal life and is an achiever. The film will drive home the point that every woman can reach the top with hard work."
Could she relate to this role? "In today's time it is important for every woman to be financially independent. I have seen several educated girls in Kolkata suffering after marriage, because of lack of financial independence. The film will reiterate the need for women to become financially secure."
The release comes with a new look – Bipasha has chopped her tresses. "I don't know what the fuss is all about? I was bored with my old look and wanted a different one for my film with Abbas-Mustan. I do not intend wearing a wig, so I preferred to chop of my hair," she says.
At this point, where does her relationship with John Abraham stand? "There is nothing left to be said about our relationship. People allege that we have broken up and later assume that we have patched up," she says. "People are welcome to think what they want to, I have no control over that and it doesn't bother me anymore. As far as John is concerned, I am very proud of him. John is going to make it really big in the next two years. I have seen him through his ups and downs and am very happy for him."
