BIOGRAPHY

Bipasha Basu
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Bipasha Basu, born January 7, 1979 in New Delhi, is a Bollywood actress and model.

Basu won the Ford Supermodel of the World contest at the age of seventeen and now works in mainstream Bollywood films. She's the second of three daughters in her family. She grew up in New Delhi and later moved to Kolkata where she studied for a business degree.

In an interview, Basu said that she had come into modelling and acting "quite by accident". She had planned to learn chartered accountancy or study medicine. She said that she dropped the idea of doing medical studies because she fainted when attempting to dissect rats.

After a successful career as a model, Basu turned to acting. She has been one of the most successful model-turned-actresses.

Her debut film Ajnabee (2001) was fairly successful and Basu was soon signed for other movies. She attracted attention with her roles in Raaz (2002) and Jism (2003). Jism featured more mature content than had previously been customary in Bollywood; it was a success and Bipasha was afterwards marketed as a sex symbol.

In 2005, Basu had a boundary-pushing role in the successful film No Entry. She later appeared in the 2006 film Phir Hera Pheri, which did well at the box office. She was the female lead in Corporate, she received much acclaim for her performance. Dhoom 2 is her latest release with Yash Raj Films, which was a huge hit overseas and in India.

Basu has also appeared in music videos, such as Tu Kab Ye Janegi... for Sonu Nigam’s album, Kismat and in Jay Sean's Stolen.
