Evidently, Bips had done her homework, unlike some celebrity guests who look clueless about the events they attend. The Vandrevala Foundation works in the area of mental health, has a 24/7 mental health helpline, manned by trained staff to counsel people with mental health issues.
Bipasha alluded to the connection saying, "I am more focused in the direction of health. Here, we are talking particularly about mental health that still has a huge social stigma and people are not too vocal about it. So, this is a great initiative."
Racing commentator Mahendra Mallya, told the actress, "We have a filly (a female horse) called Jacqueline. She is not as good looking as you, though."
Jacqueline is the wonder horse this season, having won four races already and is looking good enough for the Invitation Cup, fittingly a day before Woman's Day on March 8. Bipasha laughed as she was asked if she would root for the filly. "Of course," said the dusky sex siren. "I am always there for all female forms." Men of the world, weep. Or better still; be there at the races on Sunday to cheer Jacqueline and win an approving nod from Bipasha.
