Aish is Bips Favourite...

Bollywood's dusky beauty Bipasha Basu has carved a niche for herself in Hindi cinema and says she has no intentions of going to Hollywood because filmmakers there are familiar with only one Indian actor - Aishwarya Rai.

"No filmmakers of Hollywood are willing to sign any Bollywood actor without a screen test apart from Aishwarya. They seem to know no Hindi film actors, not even Amitabh Bachchan, " Bipasha told.

"I got a chance to go there, but I found out that I will have start again from scratch like screen tests and other tantrums. They treat you like a newcomer. So I decided to stay in Mumbai and be the 'queen' here, " said the actress who was in town to promote "Bachna Ae Haseeno".

Talking about the film with newcomer Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha said she signed on because she hadn't done a romantic movie for quite some time.

"I haven't done an out-an-out romantic film for a long time so when I heard the script of this film, I found it a little fresh.

"I play Radhika, who comes all the way from Ranchi to Mumbai to become an actor. But she ends up being a member of (choreographer) Shiamak Davar's dance troupe."

Bipasha doesn't seem to mind sharing screen space with two other actresses - Minissha Lamba and Deepika Padukone in the film.

"I am okay with even a 10-minute role provided I get an apt character and my share of attention on screen. Anyway, if you are a Bollywood heroine, you have very limited choice. I was intelligent enough to realise it long back and hence am picking up roles that look good on-screen, " she said.

Bips in a Bad Mood?

On Sunday, Bips was in a bad mood, or what? During the promotion of Bachna Ae Haseeno at Fame South City in Kolkata the normally affable Bipasha Basu's behavior shocked the Bengali media.

She refused to speak in her mother tongue, curtly asking journalists to question her only in English. She also refused to pose for pictures, except before the posters of her film.

Says a source present at the venue, “It was shocking that she behaved in such a discourteous manner. The event organiser lashed out at the press stating that she shouldn't be asked any personal questions, but Ranbir Kapoor who was also present with her, gamely fielded questions about Deepika.”

Bipasa - The Brand Ambassador for Gili

Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu, who featured in this year's hit "Race', was Friday appointed as the new brand ambassador of leading jewellery brand Gili.

'Diamonds are a girl's best friend and Gili offers a wide range of diamonds to choose from. I hope this association is amiable and mutually profitable,' Bipasha said in a press statement.

The actress has proved her mettle in films like 'Corporate' and 'Omkara' and will be seen romancing Bollywood's new entrant Ranbir Kapoor in 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.

The brand Gili had earlier been acquired by Gitanjali Group, one of India's largest integrated diamond and jewellery manufacturer and retailer.

Mehul Choksi, Chairman Gitanjali Group and Nakshatra, feels that Bipasha epitomises what Gili stands for.

'In our effort to find the right brand ambassador for Gili - a brand of mass appeal, we have stumbled upon the gorgeous and vivacious actress Bipasha Basu to endorse her alluring personality on its products, which is a rhapsody of the traditional and modern. We are excited about having her on board as the new face for Gili,' said Choksi.

John-Bips Play the Host

John Abraham was recently in Delhi, and then he was to be in Bangkok later, with girlfriend Bipasha Basu. But the couple cancelled their trip for a wedding. Not theirs – hold your horses – but that of John’s brother Alan! They were scheduled to attend an award function in the Thai capital, but they cancelled because Alan got married to his Romanian girlfriend Anca recently.

John’s brother Alan got married to his long-time girlfriend Anca in Romania just two weeks ago.
Hence, John has been very busy with his brother’s wedding preparations and cancelled his trip to Bangkok. His family hosted a grand reception in Mumbai on Saturday evening. The reception was held in Bandra, and John and Bips played the hosts there.

It was a completely private affair and John didn’t want many people to know about it. The guests at the reception included mostly his close friends and relatives. It’s been a while since Anca shifted to Mumbai and that’s how she met Alan. He’s finally gotten married and John and his family are very happy about it.”

Bipasa Enjoying Year -2008

Race has so far proved to be the biggest blockbusters of 2008 and Bipasha is one woman who seems to be on cloud nine. However, Race’s success hasn’t calmed down the dusky actor as she is working round the clock to keep up her success rate high!

Soon after actively participating in the massive promotional activities of Race, Bipasha left for Australia to shoot for Siddharth Anand’s ‘Bachna Eh Haseeno’ along with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba. The film has also been shot in Venice and other European locales. The film’s shoot is still on! If extensive travelling for Bachna was not enough, Bipasha chose to travel to Bangkok to shoot for her next venture with Neil Nitin Mukesh. Phew! Bips will be seen juggling two films at a time.

Bipasha’s stamina and never say die spirit has to be appreciated as where her male co-star– Ranbir chose to sit back and take rest in the break of Bachna’s shoot, Bipasha did otherwise.

“I am currently shooting for my film Freeze with Neil in Bangkok and Eros is producing the film. My shoot for Bachna is also on and I’ll be back to Mumbai only in June”, replied Bipasha through an SMS.

Where the rest of Bollywood’s heartthrobs choose to go slow and steady after they deliver a hit at the box-office, Bipasha is one actor who is in no mood to go slow and look back!

We hope Bipasha’s hard work pays and her success streak continues.

Bips for Freeze in this Heat!!!!

Bipasha is currently shooting in Bangkok's scorching heat for Freeze. She can't help but joke at the irony of it all. Bips says, "I suggested them to change the film's name to Melt instead."

Bipasha seems to be caught in amidst extremes. She has been constantly shooting in alternate climates for the past three months.

She adds, "I was first shooting in the freezing cold in Italy for Siddharth Anand's Bachna Ae Haseenon after which I joined John and the unit of Dostana in Miami for three days.

The weather there was extremely sunny but I had a blast. What do you expect with two pranksters like Abhishek and John are at the same place?"

Bips is having a ball in Bangkok as her younger sister Vijayta has also joined her. Says Bipasha, "We are having a great time together - she's slightly mad, just like me."

"I don't know how I've gone survived so many climate changes in the last three months," says Bipasha.

Does it have to do with her co-stars- the handsome Ranbir Kapoor and Neil Mukesh? Says Bips, "Yeah maybe. I've been very lucky with my co-stars. In the last two months, I've worked with Ranbir and Neil.

Ranbir is a super-cute and we got along like house on fire. As for Neil, we're both Capricorns, and like me, Neil is extremely organised."

Bips tells us that Neil's gentlemanly streak is a common Capricorn trait. Bips says, "I've known two Capricorns earlier- Hrithik and Uday Chopra. It's fun to work with someone who has the same personality traits as you."

Commenting on Bachna Ae Haseenon being Ranbir's film, Bips says, "I'm one of the protagonists in the film. Otherwise I wouldn't do it. My days of doing decorative roles are over. There would be no story without my character in Bachna Ae Haseenon."

She says, "I had such a good time shooting with Ranbir and Siddharth Anand that I didn't give a thought to my role's length. "

However, Bips can't wait to get home to be with boyfriend John Abraham on June 20 for Aashayein's premeire. When aksed whether John needs moral support, she says, "He needs support, but not flattery.

John is a very down-to-earth person. I never flatter him. I think it's very important to be grounded.”

Bips:The Cover Girl of Vogue this Summer

With everyone is digging into their ‘fifth’ standard books all over again for an upcoming TV show with SRK, we also thought of doing something that will trace your brains into something that we learnt in the fifth standards! And that’s called the ‘Degrees’.

For starters, there are three degrees: Positive, Comparative, and Superlative. For example: The Positive degree of ‘Good’ is ‘Better’ while its Superlative degree is ‘Best’.

If only we had the authority to be the Final Authority in Bollywood Grammar, then, we would have definitely positioned the degrees as follows: The positive degree of ‘Hot’ is ‘Hotter’ and its Superlative degree is not ‘hottest’ (as many of you must have thought), because it is ... BIPASHA BASU!

Yes indeed, this Bong-Bomb’s heat can even put the sun to shame! And guess what! She is doing exactly that, in the May edition of Vogue India! If her new hairstyle is something to die for, then, her deep dusky hazel dew eyes definitely serves as Oxygen!

Statutory Request: Please keep tissues ready before you buy this issue, to wipe off your sweat that this issue is bound to exude and that to when summer is in its superlative degree!

Is Bipasha Following Dimple's Footsteps?

Bipasha Basu may soon be going the Dimple Kapadia way. The actress is believed to have given the go ahead to star in a film opposite a much younger Neil Nitin Mukesh for a forthcoming film, quite like what Dimple did in Dil Chahta Hai with Akshaye Khanna.

Bipasha is likely to play the older love interest of Neil Nitin Mukesh in a film by newcomer Jehangir Surti. The actress feels it is too soon to talk about the film and her role in it, but it hasn't stopped Neil from excitedly admitting that he is cast in the film opposite Bipasha and is extremely happy about the fact.

The actor feels that their characters in the film will justify their presence. Incidentally, Bipasha was initially not too keen to act in the film. But it seems that boyfriend John Abraham, who is a friend of the director and had read the script, managed to persuade her to do so.

Meanhwile, Neil, who made a wonderful debut with Johnny Gaddar, is again playing a character with a lot of shades in it in Sudhir Mishra's Tere Kya Hoga Johnny. He begins shooting for Surti's film in April. Let's see if this mismatched pair can create the same magic that Dimple and Akshaye did so many years ago.
