This 5' 8", light-eyed, culcutta girl, came into the limelight when she won the Famous Ford Supermodels Contest at the age of 17. Bipasha Basu was the second daughter in the family and her pet name was bonny. She also won the Tulips Miss Super Vivacious in the same contest.
This Bengali bombshell is bold enough to accept an unusual role in her debut films. She was a household name much before she entered films. Besides doing innumerable prestigious ads, Bips, as her friends call her, did the famous video ‘Tu...’ for Sonu Nigam’s album, Kismat. Apart from modelling and acting her other hobbies include dancing, reading and helping her mother with interior designing.
