Bipasha Basu wants to be Shahrukh Khan

Bipasha Basu who has just completed a decade in the industry has worked with a range of actors during this period. But she says, “If given a chance to be a man, I’d choose to be a hero. A hero’s life is so much easier than a heroine’s.”

We probe a little more and she reveals, “I would want to be Shah Rukh Khan. He is intelligent, a creative actor and a business man. He is making pot loads of money and at the same time living a good life,” She adds, “I believe if you achieve so much fame and money in life, you should also translate that and live a good life. I see SRK having fun.”

The actress also lists herother favourite co-stars. Beginning with her debut film, Ajnabee, Bipasha is of the opinion that she would have never become an actress had it not been for co-stars Bobby Deol and Akshay Kumar’s support. “I shall always be thankful to them. They were big stars at that time, but they made me feel at ease.”

Up next is actor Ajay Devgn who she considers a close friend. “Ajay and I share an interesting chemistry. I would want to thank him for being a fantastic co-star and a great friend.”

She is also very fond of the young heartthrob, Ranbir Kapoor. Bipasha worked with the Kapoor munda in Bachna Ae Haseeno and can’t stop praising him. “Usually I get along with all my co-stars, but Ranbir and I became great friends. He is one of my most favourite people and I love, love, absolutely love working with him.”

Last but not the least, Bips also adds John Abraham’s name to the list. “John and I look fabulous on screen and have crackling chemistry. He thought I looked my best in Jism,” she grins mischeviously.

SRK has a new fan!

Bipasha Basu says she adores Shah Rukh Khan.So what is news in this? Every girl in Bollywood likes him. Bipasha also loves Gauri Khan.

She says Gauri is the classiest star wife she has met. Bips recently requested SRK to do a small interview for her fitness video. And she was blown away by the hospitality given to her by Gauri and SRK. While SRK was recording his bit for Bips’ video, Gauri played the perfect hostess.

And when the sexy Bong actress left Mannat that day, SRK had added one more name to his long list of fans.

Shahrukh Khan set to launch Bipasha Basu as host in a show

"King Khan's" Red Chillies Entertainment production house is producing an American based reality show in India. The production house has signed Bipasha Basu for this as the host of the show.

The show will hit the floors from the next month. It is based on the concept of America's Next Top Model. A source reveals that the show will have a lot of women to participate who will compete for the title of the Best Model to get a chance to start their career in the modeling industry. Some minor changes will be made in the show as it is to the Indian audiences and the show will be called "The Female Model Hunt".

The source continued to say that this show in America has gained a lot of popularity and has one of the highest TRPs among the audiences. The American show was hosted by the former supermodel Tyra Banks.

In India, one will see model-turned-actress Bipasha Basu as the show host.

According to the sources, the show will have around nine to thirteen episodes and will start with 10-14 contestants. In each episode, one contestant will be eliminated. There will also be a bench of judges which is still under the process and they will be chosen from the modeling industry.

SRK is charismatic: Bipasha

The actress recently performed for a live show with Shah Rukh Khan in Mumbai; and like everyone else who is touched by the Khan, she too is all praise for the Badshah of Bollywood. “Shah Rukh’s energy levels are so high; he is charismatic and he motivates everyone around to give their best shot.

I performed at the same wedding as him in Mumbai, but I barely interacted with him during the show. However I’ve been witness to his stage shows earlier and I just feel those who work with Shah Rukh are lucky because he truly transforms the lives of those around him. His zest is infectious and I’m looking forward to doing a film with him.”

Shah Rukh is the nicest superstar I’ve ever met: Bipasha Basu

If you thought that age would stop Shah Rukh Khan from sporting young ladies on his arms, then you are mistaken. The actor, who already has top B-town ladies like Kareena Kapoor fighting for his attention, is now drawing praises from dusky beauty Bipasha Basu.

The Bong babe rarely has a word of praise for her contemporaries, but is apparently all head over heels for King Khan. The sultry actress who performed a cameo with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ says that she was much too thrilled to perform with the actor.

Speaking to a news daily about her cameo with the superstar, she said, “It was like Mumtaz-meets-Sadhana. I loved it! I got a chance to work with Shah Rukh Khan, nothing else matters. Like millions, I had seen him on screen. Then I met him for a show and I was very impressed”.

The stunner further added, “I did `Rab Ne…` in the hope of doing a full-length role with Shah Rukh and a film with Aditya Chopra. That one day of shooting with Shah Rukh was memorable. He`s the nicest superstar I`ve ever met and irresistibly charming. This was my chance to dance.”

Well, she surely danced on that chance!

Shahrukh Khan's Temptation gets more loaded

Shahrukh Khan seems to be pulling out all the stops to make his upcoming world tour as loaded as possible.

The superstar is making sure there’s enough glitz, gloss and glamour in the musical concerts of the ‘Temptation Reloaded’ tour, to be held in Germany, Spain and Dubai in October.

Even as the preparation for the shows is underway, SRK has roped in the Bollywood bombshells Bipasha Basu and Deepika Padukone for the German leg of the tour. The two ladies bonded well during the promotion of their film Bachna Ae Haseeno and are also likely to share the stage during the concerts.

Katrina Kaif will also be a big attraction of the tour, in spite of the rumours alleging her departure from ‘Temptation’ after SRK’s spat with Salman Khan .

This bandwagon of Bollywood beauties might get further crowded with the possible inclusion of Kareena Kapoor . Talks are presently on with Kareena and her dates are being looked into to figure out if she can spare time for the concerts. She is presently shooting Raju Hirani’s movie 3 Idiots in Shimla.

‘Temptation Reloaded’ will also feature SRK’s good friend Arjun Rampal who is likely to play the guitar onstage, like his character in Rock On .

The concerts are scheduled thus: Show in Berlin on October 17; in Munich on October 18; in Frankfurt on October 19; in Barcelona (Spain) on October 20. There will be a four day break before the final concert in Dubai on October 25.

Rani, Bipasha to Star in Shah Rukh's IPL Music Video

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has roped in Rani Mukherjee and Bipasha Basu to participate in his music video for his Kolkata Knight Riders.

Shah Rukh had bought the Kolkata franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for $85 million last month. The Twenty20 competition of the IPL begins April 18.

Preity Zinta who owns the Mohali franchise of the IPL has apparently no intention of competing with Shah Rukh as far as star line up in the IPL music video is concerned.

A source close to Preity Zinta, who's currently in London, set aside the rumours that she intends to get Sunny and Bobby Deol and their dad Dharmendra to do a music video for the Mohali team.

'The playing field when the matches start in April will be filled with star-cricketers. That takes care of the glam-element,' said the source.

'As for the music video we feel it should represent the earthy feel of Punjab and Chandigarh. Hence the robust song that Preity and Ness have recorded for their team, as opposed to the poetic lyrical mood of Kolkata and Shah Rukh's team.

'We feel we can't capture the flamboyant and vigorous flavour if we bring film stars into the video. Preity wants the video to be very Punjabi. That's why she got Daler Mehndi to sing their theme song,' the source said.

Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Mallya on the other hand seem to believe star-line up to be the best way to attract big crowds to their cricket matches.
