Bipasha to Get Rs13.3 Lakh a Minute for New Year Eve Performance

Bollywood’s Bengali beauty Bipasha Basu is perhaps the only actress who has managed to get a good price for her performance at a surburban five-star hotel on December 31 this year, reports Mid-Day.

While unofficial sources claim it’s a whopping amount (almost two crore for 15 minutes) Bipasha herself remains tight-lipped about it.

In 2007, she got paid Rs 90 lakh for her New Year’s performance at another five-star hotel for 15 minutes, the paper claims.

It has also emerged that the five-star hotel where she is performing on December 31, is also hosting her private party on its premises the same night. Advertisement

Bipasha Basu big bucks on small screen

Bipasha Basu looks all set to create a new record on television. The buzz is that the Bong bombshell will host an upcoming reality show, Female Model Hunt, for a whopping Rs 65-70 lakh per episode.If the deal comes through, Bipasha will become the highest-paid woman celebrity on Indian television.Female Model Hunt will be produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s TV software production company Red Chillies Idiot Box and is based on popular US show America’s Next Top Model. Red Chillies has started inviting applications from contestants on its website, though they are yet to finalise which channel will air the show.Bipasha’s paycheque will be fatter than those of other Bollywood actresses in the 30-plus bracket, including Preity Zinta, Sushmita Sen and Rani Mukherji.

Older filmstars have an emotional connect with TV viewers. Plus, actresses such as Bipasha, Preity, Rani and Sushmita stand to gain from TV because younger faces are taking over the big screen.It also helps them stay in touch with their big fan base,” says Manish Porwal, CEO of Percept Talent Management.Says ad guru Prahlad Kakkar: “Money is obviously the biggest driving force for Bipasha. Who wouldn’t agree to do a show if she is offered Rs 60-70 lakh per episode? Plus, actresses like Bipasha, Preity and Rani aren’t really busy with films these days.” Preity is believed to have signed The Preity Zinta Show, a celebrity chat show. The actress is reportedly set to receive Rs 60 lakh per episode.

Sushmita might have no new films in hand after the debacle of Do Knot Disturb recently, but the former Miss Universe is believed to have been offered almost Rs 50 lakh for an appearance in one episode on NDTV Imagine’s upcoming show, Raaz Pichlay Janam Ka.Rani, too, is creating a buzz with her debut television stint as celebrity judge on Sony’s Dance Premier League. Although her last film Dil Bole Hadippa flopped, she is earning Rs 50 lakh per episode for doling out a few comments on the contestants’ moves. “There are a lot of audiences who don’t visit the theatre, but enjoy getting entertained in their homes. So, this is a very good medium to connect with millions of my fans,” Rani said.”After Amitabh Bachchan’s successful stint with Kaun Banega Crorepati, Bollywood stars realised they can easily go back to films after making big money on TV. Also, the small screen is witnessing a lot of innovation, which gives the stars various opportunities,” says Porwal.

In the past, Madhuri Dixit and Shilpa Shetty made their debuts on the small screen. While Madhuri hosted the flop matrimony-based TV show, Kahin Na Kahin Koi Hai, Shilpa was the host of Bigg Boss season 2 last year.

Did Bipasha Basu lie about her role?

Bipasha Basu may scream from the rooftops that it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s insecurity that got her ousted from Ravana but industry insiders are refusing to believe her.In fact, a source tells us that Bipasha was never considered to be a part of Ravana, in the first place. Director Mani Ratnam likes having item numbers in his movies – like he did in Dil Se (Chaiya Chaiya) and in Guru (Maiya Maiya) and was toying with the idea of having something similar in Ravana as well. Sources from the set of the film say Mani was planning to introduce the character of Mandodari, Ravana’s beautiful wife into the film. This character was to do a seductive item number and a few scenes and then exit, an exact seven minute role.When news spread that Mani was scouting for an actress to do an item number and a guest appearance in his film, Bipasha was one of the first actresses to push herself for this role.

The character of Mandodari called for someone sexy and seductive, and many actresses were being considered. Bipasha wasn’t even on the top of Mani’s list. But Bipasha went ahead and told the press that she was offered a supporting role in Ravana,” says the source.Unfortunately for her Mani had second thoughts about this item number.When Bipasha heard this she got nervous. She was worried that she would become a joke in the industry. A source close to her reveals, “Bipasha had announced to all and sundry that she was playing the parallel lead in a Mani Ratnam film. This would definitely add to her market rate.But when she heard that the role was non-existent Bipasha realised she would become the laughing stock of the industry.“Bipasha flew to Kerala and pleaded with Mani Sir not to talk to the press that she was never the first choice for the film.

Initially angry at her behaviour Mani, later, understood her plight and obliged her.”However, Mani was later shocked when he heard from the grapevine that Bipasha was claiming that Aishwarya had used her friendship with his wife to oust Bipasha from the film.The source reveals, “Mani Sir doesn’t pay attention to gossip. He just laughed it off and remarked ‘if I let my wife and my heroines decide the cast of my film, I might as well let them direct the whole film’. Bipasha, apparently, has now become a joke on the set of the film.

Bipasha Basu in shock as stranger gropes her breasts!

Bipasha Basu had a quite horrendous Durga Puja celebration this time for the actress was groped by a stranger at a Durga Puja pandal.
According to reports, the incident occurred when Bipasha, who is a staunch Bengali, decided to participate in the Durga Puja festivities at The North Bombay Sarvojonin Durga Puja in Santacruz with boyfriend John Abraham.

“Bipasha and John came together for the Durga Puja in the evening and Bipasha was very excited as has always been part of Durga Pujas in Mumbai over the years. Just after the darshan, she was near the stage when some pervert groped her breasts. Bipasha, of course, was taken aback and flew into a fit of rage. People around her tried to calm her down. John too was present there and he whisked her away to calm her down. She even wanted to lodge a police complaint. However, she had second thoughts. As for the sick man, he quietly and promptly ran away, taking advantage of the commotion”, said an eyewitness.

Bipasha had gone to the pandal (being managed by Rani Mukerji) on Rani’s invitation and the last thing she was expecting was to be left feeling sick at such a shameful incident.

Well, all that we can say is the fact that if such a thing can happen to a top-notch actress, then what about a common woman? Advertisement
