Bipasha was born in Delhi and has spent most of her life
in Calcutta. Of course now she resides in Mumbai. Like
many others of her ilk, she also had different plans about
her career earlier. Her desire to become a doctor made her
study science, till her twelfth class. Later she opted for
Chartered Accountancy.
But it was a chance audience with Mehr Jessia, the famous
model that changed her life forever. Mehr told her to take
part in Godrej Super Model Contest. She won this contest
at the tender age of 17 and set foot on the glamorous
world of modelling in a big way. Besides winning this
contest she has cat walked for all leading designers.
A large number of commercials too came her way and who can
forget her in Sonu Nigam’s Kismet. To prove herself on the
International scene, she went to USA and Paris. In the
States, she had worked with a topmost modelling agency
Ford. She also worked for the World famous photographer
Steven Mizhel and featured for the vogue Magazine.
In her earlier days, she got offers for Himalaya Putra, a
Vinod Khanna Production, which was a launch pad for his
son and Amitabh’s Refugee which saw his son Abhishek, in
his maiden role. She spurned both these offers, declaring
herself to be too young to handle big projects. Ultimately
she proved her mettle in Abbas Mustan’s Ajnabee with
Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol as co-stars.
Raaz, though not a very successful movie brought her into
limelight and many offers too. Bipasha has been bold
enough to accept an unusual role in her initial films
“Ajnabi” and “Raaz. But it was Amit Saxena’s Jism, done
with newcomer John Abraham, in which she worked wonders.
The film took her to a new high. Both Raaz and Jism earned
Bipasha Basu, the label of being an unconventional
heroine. Next she was seen in Vikram Bhatt’s Footpath. It
is a male film with Aftab Shivdasani and Dino Morea.
In Vikram Bhatt’s Aetbaar, Bipasha shows the maturity of
an actress. She proves that besides playing sensual roles
on screen she is also capable of handling complex roles
that demand strict histrionics.

Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Amitabh, Aamir, Michelle Pffeifer,
Julia Roberts, Kajol, Manisha and Tabu. Amongst her all
time favourite movies are Godfather and My Friends
Wedding. |
