The entire fracas started when she noticed that a low budget film called 'Bipasha-The Black Beauty' is trying rake in moolah by presenting her real life journey into film in a kitschy way.
"I think they are making a mockery of my name," lashed out angry Bipasha. "I have a beautiful name. This is a C-grade film with a C-grade actress in it and hope it is not based on my life. As for my life, I don't think it's worth making a film on."
But the film's leading lady, Needhi Gill, who Incidentally also has an uncanny resemblance with Bipasha didn't take her criticism in a very healthy manner and sent her a legal notice.
"I was very upset, that without knowing any details Ms Basu said it's a C-grade film, and she mentioned my name – which is really bad. It's about my reputation, my respect," fumes Needhi Gill. "I want her to apologize in front of media. She has already spoiled my reputation, and she will have to pay."
Adding to Gill's remarks, her lawyer Nagesh Mishra argues, "Bipasha is a common name, just like Ram, Shyam, Mohan, Suresh, Ganesh. Coincidentally her name is similar. So what? But whatever she said has had a bad impact on my client's career and her film. So therefore it comes under the ambit of the law."
Nidhi's lawyers also say that Bipasha is by no means the inspiration. But film's promos and the presence of John Abraham look alike in the frame augurs that Bipasha is not going to oblige any way.
