Given all the attention that she is being showered with currently, Bipasha Basu is flying high. But her immediate family and beau Dino Morea have been conspicuous by her absence from the celebrations.

Dino, one hears, is concentrating on his film career and dating another model though he is often seen dining with Bipasha in suburban restaurants. Amid all this, there are strange stories of Basu`s family from Kolkata disowning their celebrated daughter in the wake of controversies surrounding her. "I am enjoying every bit of my achievements, even the flip side of it, since success comes in a package," says the dusky Bengali beauty.

Even if it connotes breaking free from family ties and friends? It`s the rising sun everyone worships, Bipasha. What would you depend on when you are on your way down some day? Lock yourself in an ivory tower and watch your films in solitude?
