Reveled! Secret Behind Bipasha Basu's Envious Figure

She started her career when she was 15. Besides her hugely successful stints as a model and an actress, Bong beauty Bipasha Basu has been known as a fitness icon too. Today, even 16 years later, Bipasha continues to be one of the fittest actresses in the industry. Her fitness DVDs are bestsellers among fitness enthusiasts.

In a free-wheeling chat with us, Bipasha reveals her ‘fitspiring’ side...

A Beautiful Bollywood Journey

“It has been a quick and a very beautiful journey. From being this young kid at 15, knowing nobody in Mumbai, to becoming a model, then an actress, and still after so many years doing the things I love – acting and propagating fitness – it’s been an amazing journey!

“All this would not have been possible without the audience’s love, so I completely owe it to the people.”

My Fitness Trigger

“What got me started into fitness was the fact that I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2004. I remember everyone telling me that I would not be able to dance or exercise or perform any kind of action scene again. That’s when I decided I would not allow this to happen!

“I started doing physiotherapy and physical training. One thing I learnt from my physiotherapist was that I needed to make all my leg muscles stronger to off load the weight from and protect my knees. That’s how I started strength training. Today, only because of strength training, I have battled osteoarthritis.

“It’s been a very long love-hate relationship with pain. In fact, when I don’t feel pain in my legs, I don’t feel alive! Haha. But this pain has only made me fit, and the person I am today. When you get handicapped, you realise that you cannot take your body for granted. I needed to clean up my act, give time to my body and take care of it.
