She can’t understand why people are making a big deal about her pairing with the younger and much-in-demand Ranbir Kapoor in Bachna Ae Haseeno. Of course, Bips admits that she is older than Ranbir, but then, so what? “A woman doesn’t reach her 30s and you call her old, yet a man who’s 50 can romance a girl who’s 14 or 16! Why are these biases there,” she asks with a frown.The actress, who’s never looked in better shape than now, isn’t amused that people tend to write off an actress when she reaches her 30s. “If late 20s is old, what is 60s? Are only 16-year-old kids supposed to do films? What is two years elder or five or even 10? Does it look strange on screen? No it doesn’t. I’m working with Neil Nitin Mukesh who’s two years younger than me, Ranbir must be four years younger, but so what? Aishwarya has married a man three years younger, is that a big deal? Do they look like misfits? No, so I find these discussions very strange. I can’t tell you how many people have said that I’m looking the best with Ranbir,” she said.
Indeed, that appears to be in order going by the promos of the film in which the Bong babe sizzles with Ranbir despite the presence of Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba. “I have no doubt we look extremely good together. That’s also because we became really good friends during the shooting. Oh no! change that! Good friends is dangerous. No, Ranbir is just a friend,” she laughs.
The past few months have been hectic for Bipasha who has been travelling for Bachna... and Freeze, making people think she’s become low profile. “I’m always low profile when films are not releasing and come into profile when they are going to release,” she smiles. When does she find time to spend with John? “At night when I come back home he always asks ‘What’s there for dinner, baby?’ He doesn’t like to eat vegetables and it’s so irritating to think of new things to make everyday! And then he fusses and says this is not doing anything for his body,” she sighs good-naturedly.
