From the sultry siren of Raaz to the glowing mom on Instagram, Bipasha Basu has had one hell of a journey! Once the reigning queen of Bollywood’s bold brigade, Bipasha gracefully bowed out of the limelight to embrace something even more magical – motherhood. Now, she’s finally reveals why she stepped away fromBollywood.
Back in the 2000s, Bipasha Basu was Bollywood’s certified bombshell. She set the bar sky-high. But everything changed in 2015 when Cupid crashed her shoot for Alone and she fell head over heels for co-star Karan Singh Grover. Fast-forward to 2016, the duo tied the knot, and Bipasha pressed pause on her career. Why? Because real love and self-care were calling louder than any film offer.
Bipasha basu shares her take on motherhood
In a heart-to-heart with Bombay Times, Bipasha got candid about leaving behind the glitz. “When I got married, I definitely consciously stepped back,” she revealed. “I’d hustled for years, and now it was time to enjoy the rewards, the peace, the love.” While it wasn’t the easiest road, it was one she chose fiercely. When baby Devi brought happiness in 2022, Bipasha’s life flipped into full-time mama mode.
She added, “I wanted to enjoy the perks of all that I had worked hard for. Then the three years went by so fast — being in love and settling down, it was great. I don’t regret any of it. Then the decision of wanting to become a mother was a little difficult for me. I had to make some strong decisions, and it took me some time to do that. I had a baby, and now I don’t want to miss out on any time with my baby.”
Bipasha still feels the tug of the big screen. “Acting is something that I love,” she shared. Baby devi is now growing up and she is curious, the actress reveals, “And I need my child to see who I am, apart from being a mum. Now she’s becoming more intelligent and sharper. She is always curious – ‘Why are people taking Mama’s pictures at airports?’.
Will We See Bipasha on Screen Again?
Never say never! Bipasha isn’t shutting the door on her acting career just yet. In fact, now that Devi is getting all curious about Mama’s superstar past, a comeback might just be brewing.
Whether she’s sizzling on screen or snuggling with Devi, Bipasha Basu is glowing – inside out. Her decision to prioritize love and family is not just inspiring, it’s downright beautiful. Because once a star, always a star and Bipasha Basu was, is, and forever will be pure fire.
