Red hot: Bipasha Basu in new look

Bipasha Basu looks stunning as she faces the camera for this exclusive photo shoot.

The Look: Bipasha plays a supermodel, so fashion is a part of her life. She looks super sexy but with an edge. Bipasha can't help but look sexy on screen. She has a great body and we've taken full advantage of that. She's wearing some outfits that fit her like a body glove. Her character is not afraid of showing off her figure but she's not flashy. We've straightened her hair for the look.

Inspiration for the look: We researched a lot of people who dress coolly. I've used real models as inspiration for this character. I know models, who can mix designer wear with roadside fashion. You see Bipasha carrying a Dior handbag, wearing a Cartier watch but on her other hand, she's wearing bangles she bought for Rs 20. This makes her look unique.

Bipasha's inputs on the look: I've worked with her quite a few times so we understand each other well. Her inputs have always been in the form of encouragement. She's the most patient actor to work with. She'll sit for fittings even if it's goes on till midnight. We've used jewellery that she picked up on her

BIPASHA BASU IN DIFFERENT MOODS

"If a girl wears a shirt and a skirt, does she become more sensuous? I think a girl in a sari is more sensuous than a girl in a skirt. In my opinion, a wet sari is the most sensuous."






I already have a dream man (John) but if I had to make a choice, I wouldn't mind someone like Brad Pitt! I would like him to have qualities like my father, very chilled-out, because I'm over sensitive and hyper and I want someone who is very calm with a great sense of humor. Someone who has energy like me, who can work the whole day and party right through the night and have a blast without a bother, someone who is very secure and confident of his woman."




I have always believed that if you need to take your clothes off to get your man, you've begun to lose the battle. If you pull it off right, you can do it in a very classy way...Being sexy is about suggestion; it's about the tease. It's not about being obvious and forcing yourself out in the open. That takes all the fun out of being a woman

BIPASHA BASU STUNT

Says Bipasha, "Allan tends to treat the scary stunt scenes with a dash of humour, talking about everything from what fish he's going to cook to some barbecued dinner he had." The director had the actress in splits before the stunt scenes so she was relaxed. She adds, "For this particular stunt, we were doing a cannon shot.

BIPASHA BASU DO NOT LIKE SOME TERMS

: I don’t like the term good friends. The media, the people and actors have misused the term time and again. Yes, I got to know Saif a little better in Race. I did not know him before that. We just got along well.
