Early life and modeling career

Bipasha Basu was born to a Bengali family in Delhi on January 7, 1979. [Reference needed] Her mother,

Mamta is a housewife, while her father, Hirak, is a civil engineer. She has two sisters: Vijayeta, her

younger sister, and Bidisha, her older sister. Her name, which is also the name of a river, symbolizes

" profound black desire," according to Basu.

Basu attended Apeejay High School in Delhi and lived in Pamposh Enclave, Nehru Place, until he was

eight. She participated at the Gangabux Kanoria Vidyamandir in Bidhannagar at Bhavan when her

family relocated to Kolkata [4]. [5] Basu was chosen to be the head girl at her school and was

affectionately known as " Lady Goonda" because of her diminutive stature and strong leadership abilities.

The model Mehr Jesia Rampal noticed Basu in a hotel in Kolkata in 1996 and advised her to try modeling.

[7] That year, she competed in and ultimately won the Ford-organized Godrej Cinthol Supermodel

The contest represented India at the Ford Models Supermodel of the World competition in Miami. [8] [9]

She subsequently starred in the Calida commercial with her ex-boyfriend Dino Morea, which sparked

controversy because it showed them in a sensual pose. As a result, she experienced several

demonstrators outside her home. [8] After appearing on multiple magazine covers, Basu pursued a

career in fashion modeling through her late teens and into her early twenties before switching to

acting.

Acting career

Debut: 2001–02

Vinod Khanna, one of the judges of the Godrej Cinthol Supermodel Contest in which Basu competed,

wanted to cast her alongside his son Akshaye Khanna in Himalay Putra. Still, she rejected the offer

because she thought she was too young, and the part ultimately went to Anjala Zaveri. Jaya Bachchan persuaded her to star alongside her son Abhishek Bachchan in J. P. Dutta's Aakhari Mughal

when she got home. [10] The movie was canceled, though, and Dutta created Refugee with Kareena

Kapoor after altering the script. [11] A part in Refugee opposite Sunil Shetty was also offered to Basu,

but she turned it down.

Basu finally made her acting debut in 2001, co-starring with Akshay Kumar in Vijay Galani's Ajnabee. The

American movie Consenting Adults served as inspiration for the film directed by Abbas-Mustan. [12] It

had a mediocre box office performance and received negative reviews from reviewers. [13] Basu won

the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut even though critics praised her performance in a

negative character.

Fitness DVD launch

Basu is an enthusiast for physical fitness in addition to movies. Her debut workout DVD, Bollywood

Bodies, which she co-produced with John Abraham, was released in 2005. [83] In 2010, she created her

loving and taking care of oneself. [84] The weight-loss method on the DVD included a beginner's

workout, an expert workout, and a " easy tone" session. It was a 60-day regimen. She also served as the

Sugar-Free brand ambassador, which assisted her in advertising the DVD. Director of Shemaroo
