Bipasha turns designer
After Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, it is now the turn of Bipasha Basu to turn designer for sportswear brand Reebok. Basu, who is also a brand ambassador of the label, has worked closely with in-house designers to develop a line of women8217;s gym wear that will hit the stores soon. The look of the collection, in keeping with the actor8217;s image, is funky and energetic with a lot of classic colours like blues, pearl whites and blacks.
That apart, Basu is also excited about her forthcoming regional film, Pankh by Bengali director Sudipto Chattopadhyay, where she plays an alter-ego to a boy going through gender confusion. 8220;It8217;s a delightful role, quite different from anything I have done before in my career. The script was so convincing that I just could not give up the offer,8221; she says.
