Personally
Bipasha in Sanskrit means ‘Deep, dark desire.’ Bipasha Basu is one of the talented Bollywood actresses and a sexy dusky supermodel who has attained a distinct unique identity for herself in Bollywood. She has been heralded as one of the sexiest women in Asia along with the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai and Mallika Sherawat.
Bipasha (28 years old) was born on January 7,1979, in New Delhi. She is the second of three daughters in her family. When Bipasha was growing, her family shifted base to Kolkaata. Before her puberty, Bipasha was often overlooked because of her ugliness. Bipasha remembers her childhood days at school, when she was given the role of a tree and was asked to stand in the background in a play, only because of her dark looks. After turning 15, she began to bloom into a gorgeous looking young woman. She stunned everyone by winning the regional beauty contest.
It is quite a distinction that the beautiful and sexy Bipasha who was once considered ugly, is now a raving beauty, whose charm has besotted the country. Those who are optimistic are called Aashwadi and those who are positive and love Bipasha all the same, are called Bipashawadi!
