"I felt really lost during Raaz 3" - Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu is keeping her head high. Her Raaz 3 has turned out to be a huge success and the film has come at just the right time when she was going through one of the most terrible junctures in her Bollywood career.
"I felt really lost during Raaz 3" - Bipasha Basu

 

While you are celebrating the film's success today, one can well expect you to have been a tad conscious before stepping into Raaz 3. More so since the film had a lot attached to it - your comeback to the Bhatt fold, a successful franchise, you being a common factor in Part 1 and Part 3.

 

Guess what, this is one film for which I actually didn't prepare at all. It's not that I didn't try to. I actually did think about that but once I was on the sets, I felt really lost. In fact I remember asking Vikram (Bhatt) that why he wanted me to do these high intensity scenes in the very first 10-15 days of the shoot. I requested if we could start with something lighter.

 

What was his argument?

 

He just asked me to go with the flow. Perhaps it was intentional on his part to get me into the groove and the mental trauma of the protagonist from Day One. Though he said that he had a lot of faith in me, I was totally blank. This is when (Mahesh) Bhatt saab said to me that 'the most wonderful thing for an actress is to have a self doubt; anyone who thinks that she knows it all is all set to be doomed and would only crash land.'

 

The year didn't quite start on a good note for you. Players as well as Jodi Breakers flopped. That must have hurt, right?

 

I will tell you something (smiles). If I was really badly affected by the failure of a film, I would know it from deep within. In case of both Players as well as Jodi Breakers, my experience while making them was fantastic and that is something that I treasure most. I didn't have to think about the commercial outcome.

 

That does linger in one's mind though, isn't it? After all, one needs a good success at the box office too.

 

See, the good thing is that every single person who destroyed or criticized my films before Raaz 3 said good things about me. I don't think that there was one single review which pulled me down. Even the harshest of critics were soft towards me. You know, there are some real bad films that I have done in the past. Still, to come out unscathed and be around for a decade is something! Guess I am a little bit lucky. I am God's child!
