You may have heard of actors swimming under the moonlight.
But have you heard of swimming in floodlit pools? But Bipasha Basu is different. The actress and the female members of her staff — including her two dress designers and her hairdresser actually prefer to swim in the dark. In Goa, where they are currently shooting for All The Best, the dusky beauty waits till it is dark and then she and her entourage head towards the hotel's swimming pool so that no one takes notice of them.
"If there are lights on around the pool, we switch those off too," says Bipasha who doesn't wish to be disturbed when she is swimming. This is one dark secret Bipasha has no problems sharing with the world.
Bollywood's curvy diva Bipasha Basu says she's become conscious of what looks good on her and what doesn't.
Females, and particularly actresses, are said to be very conscious of their looks. For Bipasha, who many would unhesitatingly vouch is the hottest looker in tinsel town, it is something she has learnt with time and experience. From bikinis to sarees, the actress today claims she is conscious of what looks good on her.
"Nowadays, I take a lot of interest in the way I look. I've become conscious of what suits me. I won't do anything that I don't follow or don't feel comfortable in," said the actress who took active interest in her styling in her last release Aa Dekhen Zara .
Not just clothes, Bipasha is also well aware of her body and its proportions and how it affects the choreography in songs.
"I've extra-long limbs. So I need steps that don't dwarf the other dancers. I understand all that now…Fortunately, we've such capable choreographers. They know I'm not a professional dancer. So they give me movements that are fun, more me," Bipasha is quoted by a news agency.
Beyond her looks, choreography and even acting, Bipasha is now thinking of turning director.
"I've learnt on the job. I now understand script, character, choreography and camera angles. So I guess I do see myself directing a film because I know I'll be fantastic with things from behind the camera," said the actress who's dabbling with some arthouse cinema in films like Lamha and Pankh .
Remember Bipasha Basu's debut film Jism where she sizzled on the beach? She had certainly sent the temperature soaring. The sultry seductress once again got into a sexy bikini for Dhoom 2 and left everyone awe struck as she emerged from the water.
Interestingly, very few know that Bipasha doesn't know swimming in real life. But one instance in her life made her decide to learn the sport. It can be recalled that while shooting for Shikhar , starring her, Ajay Devgan, Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao, Bipasha had to perform a water stunt along with Shahid. Apparently, she fell off from the boat and was saved from drowning by the people out there. The scary incident made the actress decide to learn swimming.
According to a close friend of Bipasha, she has always been fond of water and water sports. She also featured in a song in the film Aankhen, water kayaking with Akshay Kumar. But seldom did Bipasha enjoy herself as she did not know swimming.
Unfortunately, due to her hectic schedules, she never got the time to learn it. But now that Bips is on break with the 2 week delay in her movie, All The Best , she is using this time to learn swimming.
Bipasha will be joining the crew of All The Best on 23 rd of this month in Goa. "Though she loves water she has always been out of the water as she did not know swimming but now Bipasha wants to be in water and enjoy herself. She is using this break to learn swimming. She is excited that she will be able to enjoy the beaches in Goa," revealed Bipasha's friend.
