Most actresses take their own sweet time to understand the nitty gritties of Bollywood. And willy nilly play the bimbette. And finally, when they do want to branch out and make a go at something new, it`s too late in the day to experiment or remain saleable enough.
Most succumb to the pressures of having to stay in circulation and thus give in. They all do, but not Bipasha Basu, the hot contender for the number one slot. It`s rather surprising that quite early on, the Bengali damsel has made up her mind not to `get slotted or just run around the trees.`Oozing with self-confidence, she has refused quite a few plum offers in which the directors were more keen on `exploiting my bod rather than my talent.`
So, is she ashamed to be nicknamed `sexy`? On the contrary, she would flaunt her out of the ordinary looks and even accept a film, Jism where the lead character uses her sexuality to further her career. At the same time, she thumbed down an item song for E Niwas` film Dum.Didn`t we say, she isn`t the typical Bollywood type?
