Mumbai: Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu says she is comfortable with bikinis and her fascination for the swimsuit started when she was a kid.
"When I was two years old, my dad got me a bikini from Australia. I have that picture and that looks really cute. So, from that time I have been a girl who loves sun and beach," the 34-year-old said here Monday after she was declared the brand ambassador of India Resort Wear Fashion Week.
"So, it`s something which comes naturally to me. It`s not definitely to create a screen image, I am very comfortable off-screen also. I am totally a beach bum," she added.
Bipasha has donned the two-piece in films like ‘Dhoom 2’ and ‘Players’.
Asked which Bollywood actress she feels looks confident in bikinis, she said: "I think Zeenat Aman, at some point, was the hottest actress ever.
"She is iconic, and to match her sexiness is tough for all of us contemporaries.
"In today`s time, all girls are fit and look hot and glamorous. I think anyone can look good in a bikini.
"It`s just the factors - you need to be little confident. It is not about wearing a bikini, it`s about wearing your confidence more," she added.
Bipasha will soon be seen in Suparn Verma`s horror thriller ‘Aatma’ that releases March 22.
