Bipasha
Basu
says
playing
a
jealous
actress
past
her
prime
in
Raaz
3D
was
emotionally
draining
as
she
could
not
identify
with
the
evil
nature
of
her
character.
Bipasha
says
she
pushed
herself
maximum
to
portray
the
character
of
Shinaaya,
an
actress
who
resorts
to
black
magic
to
get
her
career
and
lover
back
in
the
horror
film,
which
hits
the
theatres
on
September
7.
"I
did
not
know
how
to
bring
in
so
much
darkness
because
I
am
a
happy
person.
I
did
not
have
any
reference
point.
But
I
had
to
deliver
and
I
think
it
was
the
nervous
energy
that
brought
me
into
that
zone.
It
is
the
maximum
I
have
pushed
as
an
individual
to
perform.
This
role
has
depressed
me,
drained
me
and
has
broken
me
down," Bipasha
told
PTI.
The
Bong
beauty
says
she
is
fascinated
by
the
dark
side
of
human
nature
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
that
prompted
her
to
return
to
the
franchise
a
decade
later
after
2002
Raaz,
also
her
career's
first
hit.
"All
over
the
world,
actors
are
fascinated
by
dark
roles
because
the
good
is
very
predictable.
We
all
are
very
normal
beings
who
fear
things.
I
have
played
such
roles
and
it
is
fine
but
a
dark
character
is
always
more
exciting,"
says
Bipasha.
The
actress,
who
started
her
movie
career
with
a
grey
role
in
Ajnabee,
believes
that
Raaz
3
would
be
one
of
the
darkest
roles
of
her
career.
The
33-year-old,
whose
break-up
with
John
Abraham
hogged
the
limelight
until
recently,
says
playing
an
actress
on-screen
made
her
realise
how
vulnerable
actors
are
in
real
life.
"This
role
made
me
think
that
how
we
don't
accept
the
basic
fragile
emotions
that
we
actors
have.
We
are
always
supposed
to
be
strong,
perfect
creatures
to
others.
Everybody
envies
our
lives
but
there
is
a
lot
more
fragile
about
actors."
"You
have
to
be
the
same
human
being
that
everyone
else
is
but
you
have
to
put
up
a
front
all
the
time
otherwise
you
are
going
to
be
scrutinised,
you
are
going
to
be
poked,
wounded
and
hurt,"
she
says.
The
actress
says
working
on
the
film,
which
harps
on
the
insecurities
of
the
showbiz
world,
helped
her
come
to
term
with
her
personal
life
too.
"The
film
brought
out
the
little
bit
of
human
in
me.
I
learnt
to
accept
that
there
are
things
that
are
going
on
in
my
life
that
I
need
to
accept.
I
am
not
this
pillar
of
strength
that
I
project
for
people
who
love
me
or
look
up
to
me.
I
accepted
during
the
course
of
this
film
that
it
is
okay
to
be
fragile
and
vulnerable."
Asked
if
she
was
forced
to
tap
into
the
insecurities
that
come
with
the
profession,
Bipasha
says
she
is
well
acquainted
with
fame
and
failure.
"As
an
actor
I
have
gone
through
real
exciting
and
turbulent
times.
It
is
the
truth
in
every
actor's
life.
Nobody
is
safe.
You
have
to
hit
the
bottom
to
climb
up
again.
You
need
to
know
the
flavour
of
both.
But
my
character's
problem
is
that
she
adopts
really
dark
means
to
retain
her
fame."
