Bipasha: On what makes her the Most Desired

Bipasha: On what makes her the Most Desired
It's official. The queen of fantasies for the year has been crowned, chosen by votes cast on Indiatimes.com and the deliberations of a secret celeb jury for Zoom. The Most Desirable Indian Woman alive is Bipasha Basu.
It was a hard-fought crown in which beauties from all fields (such as Aishwarya, Sushmita, Priyanka, Sania Mirza and Mallika) vied for the coveted position.But Bips won on pure 'desirability' and 'drool quotient' - the deciding factors - (and not just BO and Page 3 popularity alone).
But the actor remained as firmly rooted as always when we quizzed her on making it to the top of the hottest. "It's a huge compliment," she laughed, evidently touched by the response.

"I want my loyal fans to know that I appreciate their love." Bips beat all in a list of 50 selected by Zoom - India's premier glamour and lifestyle TV channel.
"I still think Aishwarya is one of the most beautiful women I have seen," insists Bipasha. "Rani Mukherjee is my favourite actress because she is really good at her craft - I've seen Black.
However, the desirability factor also encompasses various other elements such as your overall personality and intelligence, not to mention your screen image, and that is the reason I am really touched by this decision."

How did she feel about the fact that millions of voters and a select panel of jury members think that she is the best of the best? "The vast reach of both Zoom and Indiatimes put together confirms what I feel.
My looks are not Indianised - I can fit into any role - be it Indian or international." With this kind of sensual appeal, we wonder if beau John gets jealous sometimes, with all the male attention.
"Initially, when John entered the industry, I think he may have been susceptible to that emotion, but since he's learnt how it works, he's realised that there is nothing to be worried about.
And his growing popularity, and the attention he draws from female fans, too have taught him not to attach too great an importance to the drool factor."
And what about Bipasha herself ? Has she ever felt jealous that her boyfriend is one of the most desired males in the industry today? She laughs, "Of course, not.
I think by now I know the ropes of the industry too well to be affected by all the attention that John gets - and he has a tremendous fan following believe me!"
Thus spake the confidence of the world's Most Desired Indian alive.
