My Take
Bipasha Basu earns my respect for refusing the safe path. A New Delhi-born model turned actress, she became one of Bollywood's defining faces of the 2000s, yet what intrigues me is her willingness to dive into thrillers and horror, genres many leading women avoid. Crowned a scream queen and a Filmfare winner, she paired striking glamour with real nerve. I am always drawn to performers who weaponize their beauty rather than hide behind it, choosing risk over comfort. Her run through that era left a real mark, and her embrace of darker, edgier material is exactly why she stayed memorable.
