Bipasha Basu: On Being a Diva
Masculine side: This is a question that I don't really relate to because I react to life as a woman. I think on any given day, a woman is stronger emotionally, she is more mature. I am all woman and there is absolutely no masculine side to me.
Woman in a man's world: Professionally, definitely. The industry is male-centric. Changes are coming in very slowly and producers and directors are making women-oriented subjects with tiny steps but the vision is there. But, personally, I am self-sufficient. I interact with people on my own terms. I am successful and I think today women are equally powerful and can hold their own ground.
Mistress of your own destiny: I am.
Most diva moment: I am not a Diva. I don't aspire to be one. A Diva is unnatural, unapproachable and I don't aim to be that. I am a normal simple girl. Sometimes people give me 'that' look and may perceive me to be so, but, that is not me.
Most challenging time: When I dropped out of college and had to convince my parents I was doing the right thing. My work, however, took me all over the world and has helped shape the person I am today.
Essence of the modern woman: Since women have the ability to be good inside the home and outside it, they are able to strike a balance and make the best of both worlds.
Personal style: In today's world there are so many options and so many ways you can dress yourself. I am someone who likes to dress for the occasion. I like to dress girlie, womanly or sporty. But mostly, I prefer feminine clothes. Of course, I do have days when I just want to dress down.
