	Actors - Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu (birthdate disputed) is an Indian actress and model. She appears in Bollywood films and now lives in Mumbai. She is often regarded as a sex symbol. Her first name means "deep, dark desire" in Bengali.

Bipasha is the second daughter in her family. She was raised in Calcutta and studied for a business degree. Bipasha won the Ford Supermodels Contest at the age of seventeen; she was also named Tulips Miss Super Vivacious. Many modeling jobs followed.

From modeling to films is a common step in today's Indian movie industry. Bipasha's debut movie was Ajnabee (2001). The movie was fairly successful and Bipashu was quickly signed for more movies. She attracted a lot of attention with her roles in Raaz (2002) and Jism (2003). Jism was unusually explicit for Bollywood films.

She has also appeared in music videos, such as the famous Tu... for Sonu Nigam’s album, Kismat.

Awards
