Bipasha seems to be racing ahead with her new release Race.
Archita Kashyap: Lets start with your haircut. Many people say it is Rihanna inspired or is it something that you like?
Bipasha Basu: Rihanna happens to be my favourite pop icon. I like the way she dresses and I like her haircut.
Archita Kashyap: Coming to Race, you play a model. I will start upfront with the hot steamy sequences that everyone is talking about.
Bipasha Basu: It is work. I have done it time and again. It’s just that the faces have changed. It is a part of my job. It is actually very technical. It was a messy sequence and when there is hay around, it gets worse. I am a person who is highly allergic to hay. I actually had an allergic attack.
Archita Kashyap: Saif Ali Khan and you are just good friends…close friends?
Bipasha Basu: I don’t like the term good friends. The media, the people and actors have misused the term time and again. Yes, I got to know Saif a little better in Race. I did not know him before that. We just got along well.
Archita Kashyap: One last word on Taj Mahal. It is in the scripting stages. When do we get to see you there?
Bipasha Basu: As soon as we find a scriptwriter. The writer’s strike is just off. So they will figure out a writer and after that is done, the narrations will happen and it is a long process. So it’s going to take some time.
