Kolkata:
Popular
Bollywood
actress
Bipasha
Basu
said
she
often
makes
secret
visits
to
the
metropolis
to
be
with
her
family.
"I
keep
coming
quietly,
those
are
very
secretive
visits
when
I
don't
really
want
to
meet
anyone
else
but
the
family," said
the
actress.
Bipasha,
born
of
Bengali
parents,
has
spent
a
substantial
part
of
her
childhood
in
Kolkata.
Several
members
of
her
family
reside
in
the
city.
But
she
admitted
that
with
Kolkata
having
grown
a
lot
over
the
years,
she
sometimes
she
finds
it
difficult
to
recognise
the
places.
"Kolkata
is
where
I
have
grown
up,
from
the
age
of
eight
to
16
I've
been
in
Calcutta," Bipasha
said,
refering
to
the
city's
former
name,
that
was
changed
to
Kolkata
in
2001.
"But
the
city
has
changed
a
lot,
the
way
the
city
has
grown
with
a
lot
of
construction,
I
cannot
recognise
the
places
sometimes."
However,
she
said
the
crew
of
her
films
gorge
on
Kolkata
food.
"What
attracts
the
rest
of
my
people
to
Calcutta
is
the
food
for
sure.
We
go
to
every
city
for
promotion
but
in
Calcutta
we
land
up
eating
so
much
food,"
she
added.
Bipasha,
here
to
promote
her
upcoming
film
Aatma,
said
currently
she
was
not
doing
any
Bengali
film,
but
would
spare
a
thought
if
the
script
turns
out
to
be
"unique
and
very
interesting".
