In
a
decade-long
career,
Bipasha
Basu
has
achieved
many
milestones,
but
the
actress
says
there
have
been
times
when
she
was
not
a
"go-getter" in
Bollywood
and
she
blames
herself
for
that.
The
33-year-old
actress,
who
started
her
cinematic
journey
with
Ajnabee
and
Raaz,
says
she
is
no
longer
content
with
doing
just
whatever
comes
her
way.
"I
have
become
more
greedy
as
an
actor.
There
were
times
when
I
was
not
a
go
getter.
Most
of
the
times
I
have
done
things
that
have
come
to
me.
I
lacked
the
spirit
of
going
and
getting
it
and
I
blame
myself
for
that.
I
know
there
is
a
kind
of
hunger
to
do
some
good
work.
I
am
just
going
to
try
my
best," Bipasha
told
PTI.
Her
last
two
films
-
Multi-starrer
Players
and
rom-com
Jodi
Breakers
-
did
not
do
well.
The
actress
is
now
looking
forward
to
make
a
successful
comeback
to
Box
Office
with
her
supernatural
thriller
Raaz
3.
The
3D
film
will
see
Bipasha
portraying
the
role
of
an
actress
who
resorts
to
black
magic
to
stay
at
the
top
in
Bollywood
when
career
starts
to
decline.
Asked
whether
actresses
go
through
such
insecurities,
Bipasha
accepted
that
realities
like
this
exist.
"It
is
quite
crazy
but
is
stemming
from
somewhere.
There
are
realities
like
this
existing.
It
is
just
sad
to
see
human
beings
degenerate
so
much
for
just
wants
in
life,"
she
says.
The
industry,
which
is
dominated
by
male
actors,
is
currently
focusing
on
actresses
with
films
like
The
Dirty
Picture
and
upcoming
Heroine
and
Bipasha
finds
it
a
welcome
change.
"Bollywood
is
very
hero
centric.
They
are
safe
bait
and
given
a
chance
I
would
invest
in
them
too
because
they
pull
in
crowd.
I
also
want
to
be
part
of
a
100
crore
film.
Why
not?
If
you
want
to
survive
in
this
business
it
is
best
to
be
safe."
"However,
there
is
a
small
opening
for
actresses
too
and
I
am
happy
to
be
a
part
of
it.
People
want
to
have
women
as
protagonists
and
these
are
not
feminist
films.
These
are
interesting
stories
told
where
heroines
can
have
substantial
roles,"
she
says.
The
actress,
who
has
been
part
of
hits
like
Raaz,
Jism,
No
Entry,
Phir
Hera
Pheri,
Dhoom
2
and
Race,
says
acting
was
not
her
first
choice
and
just
came
her
way.
"I
never
planned
to
become
an
actor.
Whatever
choices
I
have
made
are
by
gut.
I
have
learnt
on
the
job
and
learnt
to
enjoy
this
job."
Bipasha,
who
is
single
after
separating
from
long-term
boyfriend
John
Abraham,
says
she
is
more
focused
and
charged
about
her
career
right
now.
"I
am
hungry
for
good
roles,
which
I
have
not
touched
before.
At
this
point
of
time,
I
am
very
very
charged.
I
am
a
little
more
driven
right
now.
I
want
to
do
cinema
that
I
like
to
see.
I
would
like
to
do
what
I
have
not
done
before,"
she
says.
Bipasha
will
next
appear
in
horror
film
Aatma
with
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui.
She
is
also
part
of
Abbas-Mastan's
multistarrer
Race
2.
