Her
fitness
video
'The
Fit
And
The
Fabulous'
endorsed
by
B-Town
hunks
and
sportspersons
alike,
hits
stores
on
February
4.
Bipasha
Basu
has
been
secretly
working
on
her
"pet
passion" for
the
last
few
months.
Her
fitness
video
--
The
Fit
And
The
Fabulous
--
hits
stores
this
Thursday.
Here,
the
actress
talks
about
her
dream
project.
It's
been
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
effort
for
me.
I
love
working
out
but
sometimes
I
can't
pull
out
one
hour
of
exercising.
The
video
is
for
those
who
are
too
shy
to
go
to
the
gym
or
can't
afford
it
or
like
working
mothers
who
are
struggling
with
time.
It's
not
some
Bollywood
actress's
pastime.
It
is
my
baby
and
completely
my
effort.
Everything
from
the
creatives
to
choosing
the
right
pictures,
post-production,
marketing
and
script
has
been
mine.
It's
a
brand
initiative.
The
DVD
won't
be
just
a
one-step
video.
I
will
be
getting
involved
in
the
entire
brand
of
fitness
--
from
fashion
to
food.
I
have
several
plans.
Please
continue...
In
fact,
I
have
to
thank
Mid-Day
for
putting
my
life
back
on
track.
Six
years
ago,
Mid-Day
had
written
an
article
saying
"Bips
becomes
fat".
It
actually
opened
my
eyes.
I
had
put
on
weight
during
Jism
and
Gunaah
and
my
boyfriend
used
to
say
that
I
was
the
hottest
thing
on
earth,
so
I
never
thought
I
was
fat.
But
I
had
to
be
brutally
honest
to
myself.
I
really
appreciate
what
the
paper
wrote
and
I
used
what
Mid-Day
wrote
positively
and
put
myself
on
the
health
track.
It
must
have
been
difficult
initially...
in
the
beginning,
I
made
lots
of
mistakes.
I
would
use
ankle
inclines
and
weights
and
injured
my
knee.
Then
I
realised
that
I
need
to
understand
this
medium
of
health
and
fitness.
I
started
travelling
and
interacting
with
trainers.
Today,
I
understand
fitness.
Any
kind
of
physical
activity
is
like
meditation
or
praying
for
me.
--
I
follow
fitness
like
a
religion.
I
love
and
respect
my
body
and
don't
share
that
one
hour
in
a
day
with
anybody
--
it's
kept
aside
only
for
my
workouts.
Everything
that
keeps
me
healthy
and
active,
excites
me.
Tell
me
about
the
fitness
video.
It
gives
you
a
25-minute
workout
and
has
a
beginners
level
for
30
days
and
advanced
level
for
30
days.
People
should
do
the
workout
that
helps
in
fat
loss
and
muscle
toning
six
times
a
week.
It
will
take
about
three
days
to
understand
the
form.
Since
I
can't
monitor
people
personally,
the
workouts
differs
from
individual
to
individual,
but
it's
important
that
they
also
follow
a
balanced
and
moderate
diet
with
vitamins,
minerals,
carbs
and
proteins.
You
can't
have
fried
stuff
and
expect
miracles
in
30
days.
I
will
also
be
having
the
launch
of
the
video
website
soon.
You
have
been
working
on
this
for
the
last
few
months?
The
beginners
level
took
some
time
as
I
had
to
do
with
others.
It
took
me
eight
months
of
research
and
trying
the
workouts
on
different
people
to
see
the
results.
I
want
to
thank
people
who
encouraged
me
when
I
shared
the
idea
with
them,
and
then
made
this
video
possible.
When
I
told
John,
he
was
blown
away
by
the
concept.
My
friend
Deanne
Pandey,
a
fitness
expert
was
also
a
big
help.
Rocky
S
has
done
my
music
video
and
so,
many
friends
have
contributed
free
of
cost.
Big
stars
like
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Shahrukh,
Priyanka,
John,
Dhoni,
Akshay,
Ajay
and
Ranbir
Kapoor
have
endorsed
the
video.
There's
a
song
in
the
video
too!
...
Yes.
It's
called
Baby
Love
Yourself
and
has
been
directed
by
Soham
Shah.
It's
a
philosophy
I
have
been
following
for
the
last
six
years.
I
love
the
5
F's
in
my
life
--
films,
fitness,
fashion,
family
and
friends
but
the
emphasis
is
on
loving
yourself.
I
am
releasing
it
a
week
before
Valentine's
Day
because
it's
about
loving
yourself
and
on
that
day
we
love
others
but
we
tend
to
lose
focus
on
ourselves.
After
the
release
of
my
first
one,
I
plan
to
have
new
ones
with
updated
techniques
maybe
coming
every
six
months.
Is
it
affordable?
Yes,
because
I
am
looking
at
the
masses
and
classes.
It's
a
bilingual
--
Hindi
and
English
as
I
want
people
at
the
grass
root
level
to
get
it.
The
DVD
is
cost
effective
and
if
someone
can't
afford
it
they
can
buy
the
VCD.
I
will
also
be
launching
my
own
fitness
line.
Outfits
for
working
out
can
be
very
fashionable,
sexy
and
be
the
right
gear.
The
BB
Love
Yourself
line
will
launched
in
March.
People
are
confused
about
what
is
thin
and
being
fit
--
it's
about
being
fit
and
being
able
to
a
million
things
in
a
day
without
fainting.
