Money is everything, honey

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"></div> <div class="Normal" style="" text-align:="" center=""><img src="/photo/923690.cms" alt="/photo/923690.cms" border="0" /></div> <div class="Normal"><br />At a time when Bollywood damsels have been queueing up to do parallel and crossover cinema, here is Bipasha Basu who chooses to turn down an offer from internationally acclaimed film director Buddhadev Dasgupta.Why? No money in it honey, that''s why. <br /><br />"I don''t have a superstar or a millionaire for a father," says Bipasha candidly, "I earn my own living and run my own house. Under these circumstances it is difficult for me to settle for the price which was offered to me. Dasgupta is great director, but at the end of the day, acting is my job and I possibly cannot do it without money. Dates were also a problem."<br /><br />The fact that she has been replaced by Sameera Reddy in the movie is of little consequence for the sultry siren. Content with doing the ''meaty roles'' coming her way in Bollywood, it appears that it will be quite a while before Bipasha is seen facing the camera with critically-acclaimed directors. "You need money worth your while and as for doing such roles I feel there''s still time. I can do them when I am older and more mature as an actress," she concludes.<br /><span style="" font-style:="" italic=""><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script></span><br /></div> </div>
