"I'm
in
love
with
Bipasha," said
Hollywood
actress
and
style
icon
Sienna
Miller
in
an
interview
with
a
Mumbai
daily
a
few
days
ago.
There's
no
dearth
of
people
who
would
love
to
love
Bipasha.
Isn't
it!
Well,
it
seems
Buxom
Basu
babe
has
been
making
a
hell
lot
of
news
off
late.
Whether
it
is
good
or
bad
one
can't
say.
For
in
showbiz
any
publicity
(positive
or
negative)
is
considered
to
be
good
publicity.
Post
the
smoldering
beedi
in
Omkara
and
bikini
peep
show
in
Dhoom
2,
Bipasha
was
anyway
tava
fresh
property.
But
the
heated
grapevine
has
made
her
hog
the
newsprint
and
prime
time
news-space
in
a
continually
big
way.
Here
are
five
reasons
why
Bips
is
still
hot
and
happening.
1).
There's
a
lot
of
speculation
about
Bipasha's
longstanding
relationship
with
John
Abraham.
A
Mumbai
tabloid
quoted
"sources" stating
that
Bipasha
admitted
to
friends
that
she
was
single
for
the
first
time
in
the
last
ten
years
and
she
is
enjoying
it.
She
was
single
at
this
year's
IIFA
Awards
in
Yorkshire
and
with
another
girl
ruffling
John's
hair
in
the
latest
Clinic
All
Clear
ad
(a
brand
that
they've
been
successfully
endorsing
for
some
time
now)
people
are
saying
the
split
is
confirmed.
In
a
sudden
turnaround,
the
newspapers
are
buzzing
with
a
last
minute
filmy
patch-up
between
the
two
as
according
to
eyewitnesses
John
after
returning
from
an
outdoor
shoot
in
Pondicherry
headed
straight
for
Bipasha's
house
the
same
evening.
So,
have
they
kissed
and
make
up!
The
mystery
is
killing...
2).
Bipasha
has
been
looking
a
million
dollars.
In
fact
she
has
never
looked
so
hot
and
sexy.
She
has
been
getting
loads
of
male
attention.
Not
only
in
India
but
even
the
firangs
are
going
nuts
over
this
Bong
bombshell.
She
made
the
famous
announcement
that
the
beauteous
Taj
Mahal
is
indeed
the
new
wonder
of
the
world
at
Lisbon
a
few
days
ago.
But
the
more
juicy
part
was
the
photograph
that
showcased
22
year
old
footballer
Christiano
Ronaldo
planting
a
passionate
kiss
on
Basu's
lips
in
the
celebrations
that
followed
thereafter.
The
on
lookers
vouched
for
the
terrific
chemistry
the
duo
shared
as
they
danced
together
hip
to
hip,
gym
chest
to...oops...Bipasha
later
criticized
the
media
by
dismissing
it
with
a
statement
saying
that
how
can
she
be
serious
about
a
22
year
old
kid?
A
kid!
Hmmm...we
don't
think
she
is
an
aunty
yet
and
Ronaldo
is
known
to
be
a
scampering
stud.
Never
mind.
From
what
it
seems,
everyone
seems
to
have
had
a
good
night's....
3).
Once
the
rumours
of
rift
with
John
started
doing
the
rounds
Bipasha
was
continually
linked
up
with
her
Race
co-star
Saif
Ali
Khan
(he
is
fresh
from
a
break
up
with
Rosa).
Interestingly
the
two
have
shot
for
a
steamy
love
making
scene
for
this
Abbas-Mustan
thriller.
Basu
admits
that
she
visits
Saif's
house
but
then
so
what!
Uhm...we
aren't
saying
anything.
There
have
also
been
reports
of
Bips
patching
up
with
ex-boyfriend
(or
should
we
say
ex-ex-boyfriend)
Dino
Morea.
The
two
have
been
spotted
at
functions
together
further
fuelling
speculation.
Wonder
where
this
dusky
siren's
heart
is
heading
for?
4).
A
tabloid
in
a
shocking
story
revealed
that
Bipasha
had
undergone
a
silicon
implant
operation
before
Jism
to
add
more
dollars
to
her
physical
packaging.
Apparently
the
doctor
who
performed
the
operation
has
still
not
been
paid
the
Rs
2.5
laks
that
Basu
owes
him.
Columnist,
Socialist
and
novelist
Shobha
De
in
an
article
in
The
Sunday
Times
of
India
on
22nd
July
(aptly
titled
Boob
Tube)
said,
"Every
other
aspiring
actress
goes
under
the
knife
to
fix
assorted
body
parts.
The
only
thing
big
about
this
deal
are
the
extra
inches
a
surgeon
adds.
Too
bad
Ms
Basu's
doc
isn't
a
gentleman.
I
hope
after
this
leak,
he
never
recovers
his
money.
Let's
have
another
beedi
,
Bips."
So
far
Bipasha
hasn't
reacted
to
this
surgeon's
allegations.
We
still
don't
know
the
raaz
of
those....Uhm.
5).
Bipasha
has
always
been
an
advertiser's
delight.
She
continues
to
endorse
products,
the
latest
being
Reliance
Mobile,
Pantaloons
besides
Clinic
All
Clear.
It
is
being
said
that
with
souring
of
relationships
between
her
and
John,
she
shall
be
shooting
for
the
ad
separately.
An
interesting
point
to
be
noted
is
that
Bipasha
was
earlier
associated
with
gaming
portal
zapak.com
and
launched
zapak.tv
in
January
2007.
The
website
had
promised
to
feature
a
'Bipasha
Basu
zone' with
games
based
on
the
actress.
But
it
was
only
a
couple
of
days
ago
that
we
received
an
invite
for
the
launch
of
what
was
promised
to
be
the
launch
of
Bipasha
Basu's
first
mobile
game
by
another
brand
called
Jump.
If
Bips
had
already
been
associated
with
another
gaming
portal
then
how
can
her
first
game
be
launched
by
another
group?
These
were
five
reasons
that
make
Bips
a
hot
property
right
now.
