The Bengali beauty Bipasha Basu has decided to take up acting seriously. And the loser is, of course, the world of modeling.It would be no exaggeration to say that Bipasha just strayed into the Bollywood. Acting was never on her mind, not to speak of making a career of it.

But the success of Ajnabee and the attendant adulation induced second thoughts in the dusky Kolkata lass. The Basu girl is now inclined to prefer the big screen to the ramp lights. Her remark, "one can't possibly pursue two things at the same time," certainly lets the cat out of the bag.

Well, Bipasha seems to be having the best of both the worlds, as things on the love front are hunky dory, too. It seems the modeling world's loss is Bollywood's gain!
