I can’t marry someone like Bips: Vijender

An Olympics bronze in boxing meant this simple Jat boy became a pin-up star overnight. And in the time since then, he���s become an in-demand P3P, rubbing shoulders with Bollywood stars.
Vijender Singh admits life has changed beyond belief. He now knows he attracts the sort of attention his fave stars do. ���I adore Akshay Kumar for his toned body, while I like the way Abhishek Bachchan dresses.I am trying to be as fit as Akshay,��� says Vijender, who loves to shop for jeans, jackets and T-shirts.
The boxing sensation from Bhiwani finds himself spending increasingly more time on the Internet and on networking sites. ���If I���m not practising, I like to surf the Net. This way, I stay updated and also know about my fans and what people expect from me. After all, I���m a youth icon now,��� he says. The boxer also has a fancy for gadgets and his prized possessions include a laptop, an iPod and two mobile phones.
Now that he���s such an eligible bachelor, what about marriage? ���Marriage will happen only after the 2012 Olympic gold, which is my topmost priority,��� he says. But he knows what sort of girl he���d like for a life partner. ���I want a simple girl who can adjust with my family and our values,��� he says. We bring up his much-publicised attraction for Bipasha Basu. ���Someone like Bipasha can���t adjust in a family like mine. I can like Bipasha, but not marry her,��� says Vijender.
He insists that his lifestyle has changed after the Olympics, but not the way he views life. ���I���m very grounded and my parents still discipline me as they always did. I still spend most of my free time with my old friends who are always there for me. As for the fame, it���s a big responsibility. I am accountable to all Indians. I���ve used my star status to get pukka roads laid in my village,��� he adds.
There���s, however, something about being famous that Vijender abhors. ���I don���t like travelling and hated the Bharat Darshan I undertook after winning the bronze. I would rather spend time in my village,��� he rues.
Meanwhile, he has big plans for the future. ���I want to enter politics at some point and am also open to offers from Bollywood and modelling,��� says Vijender, who already has friends like Govinda and Akshay Kumar in the industry. But all that will have to wait till after the 2012 Olympics.
