The actress became star at 17 who made her debut alongside Akshay Kumar. She is currently away from Bollywood after marrying TV actor.
Bollywood has had several celebrities who fade into obscurity over time. We’re going to speak about a superstar today who had major songs in the 2000s and spent three years on the ’50 Most Desirable Women’ list. Before starting her acting career, this actress, who was born in Delhi and grew up in Kolkata, was a well-known model. She believed she was too young at the time and turned down the role when Vinod Khanna wanted to cast her opposite his son Akshaye Khanna’s 1997 Bollywood debut Himalay Putra.
Additionally, Jaya Bachchan wanted her to play the lead role in her son Abhishek Bachchan’s first movie, Aakhri Mughal, which was directed by JP Dutta but was cancelled. Finally, she made her Bollywood debut in the suspense thriller Ajnabee (2001), starring opposite Akshay Kumar in a negative character. The actor, once known as Bong Bombshell, is currently relishing the stage of parenthood alongside her husband, Karan Singh Grover. Yes, Bipasha Basu is the star in question.
Kareena Kapoor and Bobby Deol played the main parts in Ajnabee. Both during and after the film’s release, Kareena and Bipasha made fun of one another. The Jab We Met actor referred to the Raaz heroine as ‘kaali billi’ (black cat) during the filming and claimed that she and the clothes designer Vikram Phadnis had a falling out. During an interview with Filmfare, Bipasha Basu said, “I think this is a case of making a mountain out of a molehill. There were never any problems with me. She had some problems with the designer. I don’t know why I was pulled in. It was quite childish.”
Following her debut, Bipasha starred in several successful films, including Raaz, Jism, No Entry, Omkara, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Race, and Aakrosh. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with several celebrities, such as Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn. She was last seen in the 2015 horror film, Alone as the leading lady. She starred in the 2020 web series Dangerous on MX Player and made a brief cameo in the 2018 film Welcome to New York.
