Bipasha
Basu (born May 5, 1979 in New Delhi) is an Indian actress
and model. She appears in Bollywood films and now lives
in Mumbai. She is often regarded as a sex symbol. She
is 5' 8" tall, light-eyed, and displays -- often
in revealing clothing -- a curvaceous figure. Her first
name means "deep, dark desire" in Bengali,
but her friends call her Bips or Bonny.
Bipasha is the second daughter in
her family. She was raised in Calcutta and studied
for a business degree. Bipasha won the famous Ford
Supermodels Contest at the age of seventeen; she was
also named Tulips Miss Super Vivacious. Many modeling
jobs followed.
From modeling to films is a common
step in today's Indian movie industry. Bipasha's debut
movie was Ajnabee (2001). The movie was fairly successful
and Bipashu was quickly signed for more movies. She
attracted a lot of attention with her roles in Raaz
(2002) and Jism (2003). Jism was unusually explicit
for Bollywood films. Bipasha bared lots of skin and
kissed on screen.
She has also appeared in music videos,
such as the famous Tu... for Sonu Nigam’s album,
Kismat.
Awards
Bipasha has been nominated for two Filmfare Awards:
Filmfare Best Actress Award for Raaz (2002) and Filmfare
Best Villain Award for Jism (2003). She won the Filmfare
Lux New Face Award for Ajnabee.
Personal life
The actress has dated actor Dino Morea; she is currently
