Bipasha, now a ‘refined actor’

From a model to a popular Bollywood star, Bipasha Basu’s journey hasn’t been one without ups and downs. But she has taken every experience in her stride and says she has emerged as an evolved person.

‘Today, I am a refined actor, lived a little more life, have seen a lot, handle situations, not just a relationship, career-wise I have fallen down, come up again. I have had my run of relationship crisis, staying away from my parents for a long time, loans to pay at times I didn’t know how to pay,’ said Bipasha.

Her latest release Raaz 3 received a good opening, and Bipasha is happy the way life has shaped up for her.

‘From 1997 to 2012, I’ve lived a wholesome life, moved from one room to one BHK [bedroom, hall, kitchen] to two BHK sharing with a friend. Then bought a car, but didn’t know how to drive and also couldn’t afford a driver. Finally, my friends ended up driving, so I realised there was no point of buying a car. I had a very broken life, yes sometimes broken down, sometimes very strong, so I feel I am a very evolved human being right now,’ she added.
