The gorgeous Bipasha Basu gave an interview to Hindustan Times, where she spoke at length about her workout routine, her decision to marry Karan Singh Grover and being friends with exes. The actress, who has never really shied away from speaking about her personal life, made some interesting revelations. Here are excerpts from her interview –

On her diet –

I’m actually a very big foodie. But at the same time I believe in moderation and try to eat as many home-cooked meals as possible. I really like to eat out a lot but thankfully I have a partner who only likes eating at home. His good habits do rub off on me a bit. I try to limit eating sweets to only when I’m going out or meeting family, but it’s a constant battle.

My home food is basically oats, eggs, juice (breakfast). For lunch its chicken, dal and sabji. And for dinner its dal and sabji again.

On Tinder and her views on marriage –

Whatever I’ve heard about it has been from my sisters who’ve tried it, but it really hasn’t done much for them. I feel that love has the right time and if you’re supposed to meet someone you will and if you’re not it’s ok, life is not too bad being alone also.

But then everyone says that you should get married in time otherwise you’ll die alone and then you need to have kids also.

I think people should wake up to the fact that you die alone. So this package deal of happiness that you’re trying to buy is quite sad, you need to be happy within first, and then only can you be happy with another person.

As far as my views on marriage go, I was pretty much ok not marrying, but I met someone who wanted to get married and we were completely in sync; had spent a lot of time together- so it just happened. We didn’t plan it or anything.

And on being friends with exes –

See if your ex is an asshole it’s not possible. But if your ex is a good human being and things didn’t gel well between you then of course it’s possible, but it depends.

Shots fired at a certain ex? Guess we’ll never know.
