She wanted to be a doctor, when modelling beckoned. After bagging the Cinthol supermodel contest, she was noticed and the silver screen beckoned. Jism burnt up the screens and the rest is history. Bipasha Basu's item number “Beedi Jalayle” in “Omkara” has become legendary and gives close competition to the “Mehbooba Mehbooba” track from “Sholay”.
That she is popular across the country was reflected in the massive crowds that gathered at the Mantri Mall in Malleshwaram for the launch of Koshler's bathroom fitting range to catch a glimpse of the Bengali beauty.
As Bipasha stepped on to the stage to present awards to the winners of a promotional offer, the crowd went berserk. Bipasha talked about her association with the city and said she is a frequent visitor to the city, since her brother-in-law and his family were based in Bangalore.
Like everyone else Bipasha, claims to like “the people and the weather” in the city. On her recent release, “Lamhe”, Bipasha said: “We have worked really hard. It is a movie that has many messages about conflict.”
Bipasha also talked about her upcoming project, Rohan Sippy's “Dum Maaro Dum.” “I hope that my performances in the movie is appreciated.”
Mandira Bedi donned the role of the host for the event, introducing Bipasha and also conducting the competitions.
