Asked if she ever feared losing stardom, Bipasha told IANS over phone from Mumbai: "I have never been a desperate person. I have been a lucky girl and I have always lived by my own rules and not the industry norms, because when I started off I was called a bohemian because of the way I was... Fearing losing stardom, I don't know, but yeah, fearing losing relevance definitely."
She said the fear exists because there is so much investment involved as a person into it, and not just as an actor.
"I would have that little fear of losing relevance, but losing stardom, not so much, because I am the same person that I am. Right from the beginning...my wants have been simple," said the actress, whose roles in films like Jism and Raaz stereotyped her as a 'bold' actress.
Bipasha's last big screen outing was the 2015 film Alone. Among her other films are Footpath, No Entry, Corporate, Omkara, Dhoom 2, Goal and Race. The 40-year-old, who married actor Karan Singh Grover in 2016, says her family life is always a priority for her over work and career. Her new film Aadat will reunite her with Karan on-screen once again after Alone.
What kept her away from the silver screen?
"I have been working since the age of 15, right after school as a model for the first three years. And from 19 when I started my first film till now. I have been acting for a very long time. I had very little time to spend with my family and post my wedding was my time that I reconnected with my family and I could spend a lot of time with them. It is essential to spend that much quality time with your parents and your entire family," she said.
