The Queen Of Horror: Bipasha Basu

Log film karne ke liye taras jaatey hai. Artists are so desperate to make it big in today’s times and here I am with a tag at every stage of my life! The thing is you get labeled only when you’re doing something worthwhile. If today Emraan Hashmi is being called the ‘serial kisser’, it’s because he’s doing something good in that department. You have to take these things with a pinch of salt and you have to know what you want. I am the Queen of Fear because I can control fear. At different stages of my career I’ve been called something sometimes a sex goddess, other times a Billo Rani, I’ve always got them. However, since the past three years I’ve chosen the supernatural and I do one film a year. I have bought equity and respectability to this genre of horror, that’s why I own this space. Should you reckon there’s nobody that has got a tag like that, right from the time Hindi cinema has originated? No man or no woman, except me! And now I am bringing that to TV and we are actually going to take it to that many more people. It’s got a lot of scope. The packaging and content we have is not like anything you’ve seen before on TV. We already have a large viewer base in the horror genre, now imagine what would happen if we gave them better content, better visuals and better special effects with a modern packaging with modern topics!
