Bipasha Basu loves being sexy

Bollywood bombshell Bipasha Basu may be playing a typical housewife in her first Bengali movie "Shob Charitro Kalponik" but the actress says she is happy with the ‘sexy’.

“I love being sexy and I would be happy if people call me sexy even when I turn 100. I would love to be called a sexy grandmother. The tag has never bothered me,” said Bipasha. She does believe that sexiness is not only related to having a good body but all about how one carries one’s self.

Bipasha is currently portraying the character of Radhika in Rituparno Ghosh`s movie "Shob Charitro Kalponik", which deals with love and loss through the story of a woman, who goes on a path of self discovery after the death of her poet-husband. The film also stars Bengali superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee.

She is also playing a very interesting role in "Pankh", where she is not a real character but come as the imagination or the alter-ego of the protagonist. Her other upcoming flicks are Rahul Dholakia’s "Lamhaa", which is based on Kashmir, Ajay Devgan starrer “All the Best” and Priyadarshan’s yet-to-be-titled movie.

Bipasha Basu refuses to smoke

The sultry actress Bipasha Basu recently refused to smoke on-screen while shooting for a song in her upcoming flick ‘Pankh.’

Sudipto Chattopadhyay, the director of Pankh wanted Bipasha to smoke on screen for a vital sequence. However, Bipasha flatly refused as she does not encourage smoking and hates it. She was not in favor of the scene and if she smokes, it meant that she would be promoting smoking. Sudipto even gave her the option of holding a cigarette, but she refused that as well. Sudipto understood her point of view and agreed to shoot the scene differently.”

Bipasha confirmed the news “I don’t smoke and I don’t encourage smoking. Unless it’s absolutely essential to smoke for my role, I wouldn’t agree to do it. In ‘Pankh,’ it was not essential, hence I refused. I had also refused to smoke in one of my earlier films, ‘Corporate.’ If my role is that of an addict, then I will do whatever the character and the role demands.”
