From a model to a popular Bollywood star, Bipasha Basu's journey hasn't been one without her share of ups and downs. But she has taken every experience in her stride and says she has emerged as an evolved person.
"Today, I am a refined actor, lived a little more life, have seen a lot, handle situations, not just a relationship, career-wise I have fallen down, come up again. I have had my run of relationship crisis, staying away from my parents for a long time, loans to pay at times I didn't know how to pay," Bipasha told an Oye! 104.8 FM radio channel host.
The 33-year-old made her Bollywood debut in 2001 with "Ajnabee". She was dating Dino Moreo that time, but parted ways with him in 2002. Then she became romantically involved with her "Raaz" co-star John Abraham, whom she dated for around eight years.
Professionally, her career picked up with films like "No Entry", "Dhoom", "Corporate" and "Bachna Ae Haseeno". Her latest release "Raaz 3" received a good opening, and Bipasha is happy the way life has shaped up for her.
"From 1997 to 2012, I've lived a wholesome life, moved from one room to one BHK (bedroom, hall, kitchen) to two BHK sharing with a friend. Then bought a car, but didn't know how to drive and also couldn't afford a driver.
"Finally, my friends ended up driving, so I realised there was no point of buying a car. I had a very broken life, yes sometimes broken down, sometimes very strong, so I feel I am a very evolved human being right now," she added.
For now, Bipasha awaits the launch of her second fitness DVD, and her debut international project "Singularity", will hit the screens early next year.

"She was trying to save her relationship when it was not there for her you dumbass." Hahahhaha - sorry, but if you think that makes it OK for her to lie and deceive her fans then YOU'RE the dumbass!!! And unless you've got actual PROOF of John's infidelity, shut the f*ck up!! JEEZ!!!

OK, thanks for the long paragraphs of gibberish. First of all, if you read this article carefully "relationship" is referenced and also in so many other related articles, where Bips has talked about her relationship with John Abraham. Second, no one wants to know your personal life details. Third, everyone has their share of broken hearts so STOP assuming! Fourth-if you are going to still feel like a victim and be stuck in the past then it's your choice. Fifth-Please seek out a good psychologist. Sixth-please work on your English, it's not a "physiologist" but spelled as "PSYCHOLOGIST."
I am assuming you are in 30s as you mentioned you had a 10 years relationship, you definitely need help! But this is an entertainment forum please get some help
------------------------------
Thx for your advice.If you dont need to know my personal life in details then please stop guessing my lifestyle in the first place so that I dont need to defense myself.I just said i can understand her pain and you are the one who jumped with unwanted advices and prediction.I am healthy and fit and I took my share of help.May be its time for you.
Yes sure you can freeload me with advices once again..Thx in advance : )

Sorry - I don't think she's a good role model for ANYONE! First of all - why can't she ever get her story straight about the break-up? SHE was the one tweeting that they were still together when they weren't. THEN she said that the relationship had been 'over for a year', which means she was lying to media & fans. THEN she starts saying she's all carefree. THEN she makes insinuations that he cheated on her, implying that SHE broke it off. THEN, last weekend, in the TOI interview, she does a complete U-turn and starts playing for sympathy, saying she felt 'abandoned' when HE left HER etc. (Make up your MIND, woman!!) Interestingly, in THAT interview she said NOTHING about cheating, OR John allegedly getting her 'thrown out' of Shootout at Wadala. Now - given her massive ego, I can't BELIEVE she wouldn't have taken such a choice opportunity to diss John AGAIN, and I can't believe that the TOI journalist wouldn't have asked her about it. SO - did John FINALLY put his foot down and say 'enough's enough' and get his lawyers involved? I hope so. Unfortunately, it's too late and she's already trashed his reputation utterly. OK, yeah she was hurt but that was VERY scuzzy and uncool of her. (I know this comment probably won't get published because Pinkvilla is totally Bips-partial - but I just HAD to point that out to everyone, OK?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was trying to save her relationship when it was not there for her you dumbass.She never said she was cheated or jonh abandoned her,She never took his name just explained her experiences through love life.Uncool is John who embarrassed her by cheating with another woman.BIPASHA BASU is a role model because she made her name by herself.
Cry me a river cross-eyed Mary!

OK, it hurts obviously, but Bips isn't actually making herself look good if she keeps giving "importance" to John Abraham, etc...and "marriage" isn't everything, aren't you glad though you didn't marry that guy and then him divorcing you later on...and, you should be glad, your health is intact, break up or not, if you are suffering say, type diabetes, or any other disease, having a MAN in your life or someone dumping you after 10 years would be the last of your worries...
-----------------------------
When did she mentioned John abraham in her interview?You obviously didnt get what I meant in my earlier comment and Honey who are you to tell me how I should feel?Its me who is the one with the situation and only I can feel.I am definitely happy that I didnt married him but I was also full of confusion to ever trust a man again after that experience.Its my father who sit me down and explained over and over again.He told me take me as example leave him from your mind.Me and my ex worked in the same company and I still dont see any of my ex coworker to save my face from embarrassment.Yes I was not the one with fault but that dont teach people to stop asking same question and giving me current information.Bips might be in nightmare considering her public life.Trust me if you never had a broken heart then you have no idea what are you talking about.
Coming to bips..she didnt gave importance to john a bit..its her soul searching journey that she mentioned how her life was and how she evolved with a broken heart.She invested 8 damn years of her life with that man and they were in love..Bips even proposed to john for marriage..How do you want her to behave when she knew he is with another women?Unless she is a kim kardashian then it obviously brought a lot of question in her mind.Yes she is no longer interested in john and over with that relationship but if she was dedicated with her relationship then these 8 years would bring a lot of question in her mind.Her mind will do this as a defense system to avoid any future emotional turmoil.That is why she mentioned in her earlier interview that she doesnt want mama's boy and is looking for someone as caring as madhaban.She wants someone who will not break her heart again.
I have lots of respect for her for how she deal her very public break up.She didnt even avoided john like kareena did with shahed and did a cosmetic add after the break up with him.It take lots of nerve to act politely with a douche bag.I would have respect for John if he waited some time to enter new relationship after the break up but he practically left bips for the new girl.
Remember Carrie braodshaw with the break up rule?It take half the time you have dated someone to get over your system.....It is what many physiologist says so
I am happy for bips and I am sure she will find true love soon enough.To all of you who are criticizing her now wait till you find yourself in the same sitution with a broken heart.One day you will get it....

Why does Bipasha always feel the need to announce how difficult her life has been!! We've all had our share of ups and downs, and so many of us that comment on PV are still young, and have so much of life to experience! we all live and learn!!
===============================
Well said!!!!
ME TOO Feeling the same.
============================
what is wrong with a self made woman confessing her struggle to the younger generation?What do you guyz want?Hear it from sonam kapoor or avishek baachan?Bips is a role model..and lots of youngstar wre waiting to hear her story..go eat your heart.

"bips just hired rohini iyer as her new PR" GOOD!!!! Maybe she'll advise BIPS to stop bleating about how hard done by she is and taking cheap pot-shots at John!!! (Not a fan of the guy, but her constant sniping at him is REALLY immature of her.)
Atleast she is frank abt her career n life not like ms mukherjee who announces that life is a bed of roses for her
UGH! Here we go AGAIN. This woman is just SO IRRITATING! I'm NOT young (like some of the commenters here) and, believe me, when YOU get to MY age you will see that she is NOT a 'role model' but a whining self-obsessed creature who has been pampered all her life. She HASN'T known great hardship, tragedy, suffering or deprivation and it's really tedious every time she tries to convince people she has. She has health, wealth and beauty and it's high time she grew up and stopped playing the sympathy card. MY father would've told her to 'shut up and just be grateful' a LONG time ago!

She started dating John Abraham after "Jism", not "Raaz" as mentioned above.
I absolutely agree that she really worked hard and did it well in Bollywood without god father. I can't believe that PC keeps bringing up how she did well without god father....she is so pathetic.
Bip is a very likeable person. She was super sweet with everyone when she came to Toronto. I wish her all the best!

I am a huge fan of Bipasha, but how was she so broke considering being so successful in movie business? Unless, she is talking about initial stages of her career, then most people do struggle. I think, compare to the world, and India, Bipasha is extremely lucky, and I understand John was an ass in terms of how he handled the whole thing, but Bipasha should just STOP talking about it, comes across bitter. Focus on better things in life, and she isn't as an underdog compared to billions of people....Basically, that's how plastic PS talks about her struggles, but Bipasha is a lot real, maybe it's time for Bipasha to dump PC as friend too....
---------------------------------------
the problem with stars are that they have to keep up thier image and wardrobe just like the TOP STARS but they earn less.You cant stay in BORIVALLI and act in Btown.Its would be hard for those who are without backup
Bips maturity reflects in her eyes, expression, and the way she carries herself. She is definitely a role model. I believe her words completely. Yes everyone's been through ups and downs, but this doesn't mean she can't share her own experience. This must have been in response to an interview question. Always nice to know how an actor feels about their journey. I also want to get her fitness dvd sometime.
someone commented that she comes across bitter when she talks of her struggles but i agree with another comment below that after eight years of relationship, it is very difficult to move on so easily..in fact it is lot harder when your life is so public.. every reporter asks you the same damn question and you're supposed to look calm and composed.. she has done well for herself even if she is not a great actress.. and one can say, truly made it without a "godfather", you hear that Priyanka?

I dont remember bips this before the break up.The fact that Jonh choose another woman and is in a relationship after 8 years of being with her is so hurtful.I think she will be needing a long long time to get over it. ai know how it feel as I was in a similar situation.You will have to be in soul searching journey after such traumatizing experience.I was doing the same...memorizing my ten years life every time.... actually i was searching what went wrong or why did i choose that person and why didnt i noticed earlier.You cant understand unless you have been dumped by your long time partner when you are planning to get married.It hurts to hell.
"Then she became romantically involved with her "Raaz" co-star John Abraham..." John Abraham her Raaz co-star? I think I have to watch Raaz again to find John there... ha ha ha

Why does Bipasha always brag on about how difficult her life has been. Everyone goes through their share of ups and downs but no gets it printed. Move on Bipasha!
Good for you Bips.
