My fitness ventures are not gimmicky!

Says actor Bipasha Basu about her new DVD, also talks about being spiritual and her penchant for horror flicks

Riding on the success of her latest film Raaz 3, actor Bipasha Basu is now turning her focus on her next venture — her new fitness DVD. Just recovering from a health scare, the actor is ready to continue her journey in making a firm place for herself in the field of health and fitness. Says Bipasha, who’s just returned from a darshan at Siddhivinayak temple, “It was so beautiful. Though I’m not all that into rituals, my mother does puja at home.” The actor was there to seek blessings for her recent success and her next venture. “I have been concentrating on giving the final touches to the DVD and now, it is ready. I’m going to make a lot of noise about it next month. It’s something that quintessential gym haters won’t be able to resist. It will teach everyone to love themselves. Those working with me have been inspired to take up yoga or hit the gym.” With other B-Towners like Shilpa Shetty and Lara Dutta also having their fitness DVDs to boast of, we ask Bipasha what is so different about her fitness gyaan? “In my case, content is king and there are no gimmicks involved! I am going to set a new trend as the whole fitness DVD concept is a new thing in India. As you said some people have been doing it, but I don’t know how successful they are or have been. We just launched the first look at the Delhi marathon and things are looking pretty good. Furthermore, the support that I have got from the industry is immense.” Apart from the fitness venture, the actor also has her hands full with Race 2, Aatma and Holly flick Singularity. But it’s her penchant for horror films that made her sign another flick in the same genre after Raaz. The actor, who’ll be travelling soon to shoot for Aatma, is looking forward to rebuilding her brand with the Bhatts. In fact, director Vikram Bhatt at a recent event, said, “I think I owe it to myself and to Bipasha, to do another film with her right away. It’s amazing how hard she worked on the film and look at the end result. Both of us have gone through our share of turmoil. Like they say, no pain no gain. ”
