New
Delhi:
After
spending
more
than
a
decade
in
the
industry,
Bipasha
Basu
feels
that
an
actor's
life
is
not
easy.
Bipasha,
34,
who
started
her
career
with
a
negative
character
in
2001
hit
Ajnabee,
says
she
now
wants
to
do
challenging
roles.
"It
is
true
that
hunger
and
fierceness
to
do
some
good
work
is
little
more
than
before
in
my
life.
Whatever
I
am
going
to
do
would
be
an
honest
reflection
of
my
true
self;
my
performance
won't
be
corrupt.
Acting
is
a
brutal
profession
but
I
would
maintain
my
own
dignity
and
pride.
An
actor's
life
is
never
easy.
It
is
always
a
Friday
that
decides
how
she
is
going
to
do
in
months
to
come," Bipasha
told
PTI.
Bipasha
was
last
seen
in
Vikram
Bhatt's
Raaz.
Her
evil
character
in
the
film
was
received
well
and
opened
doors
for
many
new
projects.
But
Bipasha
says
she
is
not
on
a
signing
spree
after
the
success
of
the
film.
"For
the
last
seven
years
I
have
been
doing
three
films
at
maximum
in
a
year.
It
is
going
to
be
the
same
in
future
as
well.
I
want
to
do
good
work.
Also,
the
kind
of
balance
that
I
have
struck
in
my
life
is
for
the
keeps," she
says.
Bipasha
feels
that
she
performs
better
when
she
steps
out
of
her
comfort
zone.
"I
have
come
to
realise
that
whenever
I
step
into
unsafe
zones,
I
perform
better.
The
kind
of
films
that
I
have
done
in
the
recent
past
or
am
doing
now
are
some
risky
steps.
"These
kind
of
roles
can
leave
a
very
strong
image
about
you.
However,
this
is
a
risk
worth
taking.
Also,
I
am
sure
audience
too
has
matured
enough
to
understand
the
difference
between
reel
and
real
life." Bipasha
will
be
seen
next
in
Vikram's
another
3D
film
Creature
and
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
starrer
Aatma.
