Bachna Ae Haseeno: Actress in their late 20s being considered old upsets Bipasha Basu

To regular Hindi movie goers, Bipasha Basu does not need any introduction. This twenty nine year old Bengali beauty is one of the most attractive women in Bollywood. Often referred as the sexiest woman in Asia, Bipasha Basu has been in the industry for seven years. What annoys her about Bollywood is that it is a male dominated industry. Male actors have lots of advantages over their female counter parts. Not only the top male actors make more money than female actresses but their career life is longer than female actresses. An actress in her late 20s considered old according to movie makers. This has miffed the actress very much who is the current Bollywood sex symbol. Responding to a question regarding her pair up with Ranbir Kapoor, who is younger than her, she said that it was very unfortunate that when an older male actor is paired up with a young actress, people do not bother about it, but when an older actress is paired up with a young actor, it is not taken positively.

Before coming to acting, Bipasha Basu was a super model. In Bollywood, she has a more glamorous image. Though she did few deglamorized characters but she found success in glamour roles. In Bachna Ae Haseeno , Bipasha Basu was asked to do a seduction scene with Ranbir Kapoor which she was not told when she signed the movie. When director Siddharth Anand told her about the scene, she did not agree to do it because she though it was unnecessary. Though Siddharth was upset in the beginning, he became tight lipped about the whole thing. Aside from Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu is appearing in Freeze with Neil Nitin Mukesh, who is also younger than her.
