Bipasha Basu short Interview

MUMBAI - One of Bollywood's most glamorous heroines, model-turned-actress Bipasha Basu made her debut in films with "Ajnabee" in 2001.

Since then, she has played myriad roles in Hindi films, establishing herself as one of the industry's most bankable actresses.

In between consoling her year-old niece and shooing away her dog, Basu spoke to Reuters about turning 30, her affinity for thrillers and how the recession has affected her.

Q: What is it about thrillers that make you click? There was "Race", "Dhoom" and now "Aa Dekhen Zara".

A: "I don't know about that (laughs). All I know is that thriller is a genre that everybody likes to watch. When you start watching, you have to follow it. There is an instant connect. Of course it has to be very smart, very modern, very edge-of-the-seat and very slickly shot. I guess the entire packaging has to be crisp and I would easily blend into a set-up like that.

"I started off with a thriller - "Ajnabee". "Raaz" was a thriller. I did "Jism" which was a romantic thriller, so I have pretty much been there for thrillers. But not that I don't enjoy comedy -- I have done "No Entry", I have done "Bachna Ae Haseeno" which is a romantic comedy, so I enjoy everything depending on the part, but I guess I get attracted to thrillers, because I like watching them."
