Bipasha Basu

After a gap of five years, Bipasha Basu is all set to make her debut in the webspace. Bipasha will soon be seen in the MX Players web series Dangerous along with her husband Karan Singh Grover. I got to talk to the actress and I had to ask her the most obvious question of all, why the long wait. While I expected her to say something generic like oh I was waiting for the right script and so on. Bipasha filled me in on what she’s been up to after she met her husband on the sets of her last movie in 2015, Alone. She talked about how she wanted to take a break after marriage and it was a well-deserved one for someone who had been working from the age of 15.

She said:

I have to say that I have always been a follower of love yourself and satisfy your needs first. For me after my marriage, it was a decision that you know, I’ve been working from the age of 15 as a model and 19 as an actor. So I had decided that I’m not going to work for a while and just sit back, chill and enjoy the perks of the life that I worked so hard for, and it kind of happened. There was no timeline as such. I kept on saying few months, few more months and I’ll do something. But in the meantime, I was doing events and performances. Both were still on… So were endorsements.

She further added:

So I really didn’t think that it’s such a long gap and I really liked spending quality time with my husband and my mom and dad which I’ve never done before. You know, I’ve never given time to my parents so much because I was always too busy. My father retired after my wedding and we all got a lot of quality time as a family together. So I guess you know, I just lost track of time. But from the last one month? I’m very very aware and alert and ready to work and I’m missing the set after a very long time and yeah,I’m going to be working more for now.

I love Bipasha for how candid she is and of course for her self-love mantra. I can’t wait to watch her in Dangerous.
