Mumbai: For all those star-struck fans and Bollywood’s wannabe, here are some tips to success, straight out of Bipasha Basu’s mouth. Yeah, Bips babe has taken the pains of easing out the path of struggle for her fans.
In an interview given to a news daily recently, the actress chose to speak about nothing but the pathway to stardom. And her tips go like this- “Firstly, you have to know what you want to do in life. I started very young so I was a little vague. But I knew one thing, modelling is very big in Mumbai and Delhi and that`s where I should be. Secondly, if you are not from the city, be prepared to go through the struggle of getting to know the right people. It would take a lot of wisdom to find people who support you, but once you have, hang on to them, even after you have tasted success.”
Wise words flew fast as she added, “Be responsible for yourself. It`s tough not to get carried away when you are on your own and are in the process of making it big. Stay the way you have been brought up and do not let anyone mess with that. Stay grounded: With heady fame and success and the kind of lifestyle Mumbai can provide, it doesn`t take long for your head to start spinning. You might be forced to think drinking and smoking is fashionable, but keep your focus on your goals.”
This isn’t all, Bipasha also thinks that there is a need of not allowing oneself to get complacent at any stage in life, for if one thinks stardom will chase one forever then that person is living in a fool`s paradise. “You are not doing anybody a favour. Money and fame can delude you into thinking you are irreplaceable. No one is”, says this humble chick.
Well, here’s hoping that these valuable tips shall be of some use to be star in the making, even if they aren’t, they surely give us a peep inside Bipasha’s days of struggle.
