NEWS: Bipasha's New Year resolution all about fitness

Actress Bipasha Basu's New Year resolution is to get more and more people to start caring for their health and fitness.

"My resolution is that I am going to try and get maximum number of people to look after their health and fitness," the 33-year-old said Tuesday at the Bright Advertising awards function here.

Bipasha is set to launch her new fitness DVD soon.

"I am launching my second DVD and that is my resolution this New Year as I want people to get fitter and more aware about health because, if you will see, there are so many diseases that are killing people at such a young age," Bipasha said.

"Today if you read the newspapers all you read about is lifestyle diseases, viral, dengue... It's very important to look after your health and fitness," she added.

Bipasha was last seen in "Raaz 3" and is currently shooting for "Aatma".

She will also start working on "No Entry Mein Entry", a sequel to her 2005-hit "No Entry", soon.

NEWS: Bipasha to experiment with sci-fi

Actress Bipasha Basu, who has experimented with various genres, is all set now to be part of a sci-fi film directed by Vikram Bhatt.

"Bipasha Basu is one actress in Bollywood who is ready to experiment with different genres. Besides, Bipasha suits the role for my sci-fi film," said Bhatt, who recently worked with the actress in "Raaz 3".

"She is a fabulous actress, and is very enthusiastic about her work. I can't think of anyone else other than Bipasha for my film. She is perfect," he added.

Bhatt has earlier directed Bipasha in films like "Aetbaar" and "Footpath".

Asked if he considers Bipasha as his lucky charm, he said: "Nothing as such. I don't think (of her as) lucky charm, but she is definitely one actress who has evolved over the years and has proved herself."

Bhatt says the film will go on floors next year.

"It is a very special film for me. I can't talk much about the film, but it will go on floors in May 2013. It is a very interesting story," he said.

Bhatt has entered into a partnership with Bhushan Kumar's T-Series to produce five films that includes science-fiction, thriller and horror genre, among others.

Will Bipasha Basu, Dino Morea team up for Raaz 4?

Original Raaz actors Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu could once again pair up for the franchise's next instalment.

Looks like it's all coming to a full circle for Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu. Having starred together in the first installment of the Raaz franchisee, they could well be cast together in Raaz 4.

The couple was dating when Raaz was made, but they split later. However, they chose to remain friends. Recently, the two even went to see Raaz 3 together, after Bipasha Basu requested her former flame to come along with her. Bipasha Basu even tweeted a picture of the two of them together.

A source says, "Dino and Bipasha might be paired in Raaz 4. The Bhatts are already considering this as an option." Would Dino be willing to get close, albeit on screen, with his former sweetheart once again? He says, "Yes, why not! I would love to work with Bipasha again. In fact, it will be superb if the entire team of Raaz 1 gets together once more."

Bipasha exercises with SOTY songs

Bipasha Basu's workout sessions are like one big party for her these days, thanks to the soundtrack of Karan Johar's "Student Of The Year" (SOTY).

"Resumed my work out schedule today! Addicted to SOTY album! Love the soundtrack with my workout. Makes it feel like a big party," Bipasha, who hasn't been keeping too well, posted on Twitter.

The SOTY soundtrack has been composed by duo Vishal-Shekhar. The remixed, new age version of "Disco deewane" and the melodious "Ishq wala love", have found several fans.

Can't compare myself with Bipasha: Esha Gupta

After "Jannat 2", actress Esha Gupta is gearing up for the release of her second film "Raaz 3", with Bipasha Basu as her co-star. She isn't worried about the latter's presence and is confident about carving a niche for herself.

"I am pretty confident and I know where I am today. I don't want to compare myself with Bipasha. Even when we are sharing screen space, the only thing that I make sure is that I don't lack anywhere," Esha said.

Directed by Vikram Bhatt, the film also features Emraan Hashmi in a prominent role.

Esha, who made her debut with "Jannat 2", admits sharing screen space with established actors like Emraan and Bipasha did put some pressure on her.

"I had pressure on me as Bipasha and Emraan are great actors but apart from that I didn't care so much because Bipasha is Bipasha and the whole country recognises her. I still get shocked when people start recognising me," she said.

"For me, it ('Raaz 3') was one of the best films to work in," she said and added that other perks were collaborating with Vikram Bhatt, being part of a big franchise like "Raaz" and also working for producers - Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt.

"It was a conscious effort to do this. Of course, I had pressure as I was not sure whether I will be able to pull it," she added.

She is not shying away from taking risks by doing different kind of roles.

"Honestly right now I am going for different kind of characters. It doesn't matter whether it's a big role or small role. For me, everything is a risk because if I don't take a risk, where will I reach? It's not about playing safe. Among all the options that I got, this was one of the best," she said.

Avoid link-ups, says Bipasha

Bipasha Basu is upset at incessant rumours surrounding her relationship status. She wants the speculation to stop, and says just because she is a fun-loving and outgoing person, this doesn't mean she is dating anyone she meets.

"For a long time my name is being yo-yoed with few people. As and when dating, break up, then patch up and marriage stories are being made. I really wish all this stops as none of it is happening," tweeted Bipasha.

"Fun loving person does not mean frivolous. Meeting people does not mean dating them," added the 33-year-old, who has been linked to actors like Shahid Kapoor and Rana Daggubati.

Bipasha is single after her break up from John Abraham. While John is ready to tie the knot with banker Priya Runchal, Bipasha maintains she is still single and busy loving her professional life.
