Bipasha Basu quotes

“I can’t do anything vulgar. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the eye. I think it’s my personality that makes me appear bold.”

“I am very down-to-earth. I cannot be with any man who is starry.”

“I always enjoy being photographed by male photographers far more than women. I am less inspired by a female photographer.”

“If I want to do something I will do it, no matter what it takes. I have the courage to admit my mistake. I am not embarrassed of anything that I have done in this industry and I have not hurt anyone by what I am doing. I am very clean on that.”

” I had never thought that I would be a model. I wanted to be a Doctor (laughs) but then here I am. I got sick with the thought of dissecting rats and stuff and after 12th I took commerce.”

“To be called a sex symbol or sexy is an achievement in itself. One doesn’t get it easily. However, I want to shed this image now. Hence I am playing different roles.”
