This piece of news would undoubtedly be the mother of all small talk. If Bipasha`s close buddies are to be believed, the dusky Bengali actress has been in touch with some of her mother`s astrologers in Kolkata. They have predicted a great innings for her in Mumbai.

Now judging by the way things have gone for her in the past few months, that would be easy to buy. But she has also been categorically told that another "very successful girl from her profession would play a very important part in her life" after which Bipasha would reach the dizzying heights of stardom. And wait till you hear the initials of this supposed angel in her life -- K.K.

One quivers at the thought of Kareena Kapoor playing any role in the life of this outspoken actress. But Bipasha has taken the forecast so seriously that she agreed to give interviews to two film glossies that very day. It looked as if she was dying to give the Kapoor girl a mention in her answers and insisted on describing "the healthy rivalry with Kareena," as a boost to her morale. She even complimented her for having the best bod in showbiz. Whoever told you that a soothsayer`s clairvoyance is the definitive verdict on one`s future, Bipasha.
