Early life
Basu was born on January 7 in New Delhi to a Bengali Hindu family. She is the second of three daughters to her parents, the elder being Bidisha, and the younger—Vijayeta. Although she was born in New Delhi, her family later moved to Kolkata.[citation needed].
In an interview, she has stated that she had initially planned to study medicine, but entered modelling and acting by accident. Basu studied science till the 12th standard at Bhavan's Gangabux Kanoria Vidyamandir and then studied commerce at The Bhawanipur Gujarati Education Society College, an undergraduate college affiliated with the University of Calcutta. In Kolkata, she did modeling and ramp shows part-time. However, in 1996, she met model Mehr Jessia in Kolkata; the latter suggested that Basu take part in the Godrej Cinthol Supermodel contest. Basu participated, and won the contest.
Career
After winning the Ford Godrej Cinthol contest, Basu also was flown to New York by the Ford Company, where she had a successful modelling career at the age of 17.
Basu made her film debut in Abbas Mustan's Ajnabee, with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and Kareena Kapoor. She played a married woman who goes all out to woo her husband’s married friend, and eventually won the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award for her performance.
In 2002, Basu starred in Telugu movie Takkari Donga and Vikram Bhatt's thriller Raaz. Raaz was a big commercial success and surfaced as the biggest hit of that year. For her performance in the film, she received her first Best Actress nomination at the Filmfare. One review in The Tribune noted, "...it is Bipasha Basu who steals the show with her fine performance." She appeared as Sonia Khanna in the 2003 hit movie Jism alongside John Abraham. The movie earned her a Filmfare Best Villain Award nomination.
Besides acting, Basu did the video "Tu" for Sonu Nigam's album, Kismat. She also made a guest appearance in Jay Sean's music video Stolen.
In 2006, she performed an item number during the song Beedi in the film Omkara for which Rediff noted Basu's picturisation.
Basu in 2008
In 2008 Basu starred in Race, her second collaboration with duo Abbas Mustan, with whom she debuted in Bollywood. Co-starring Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, the film performed well at the box office, and Basu's performance was appreciated by critics. Taran Adarsh of indiaFM described her performance as "her best work so far. She’s superb". She also received good reviews for her role in Bachna Ae Haseeno opposite Ranbir Kapoor. She completed the year by appearing in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in the song Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte.
In 2005 Bipasha and John Abraham did a fitness video with Eros called Bollywood Bodies.[9] In 2010 she has launched her own line of videos with Shemaroo under the banner BB - Love Yourself. The first release is called 'Fit and Fabulous You.

Basu is currently dating actor John Abraham. The couple have been together since late 2002 and have been referred to as a supercouple in the Indian media. She previously dated fellow Bollywood actor Dino Morea.
In 2006, Basu claimed to have been harassed by certain organizers of the India Day Parade in Edison, New Jersey. Basu was initially scheduled to lead the parade on 13 August 2006. Basu eventually appeared on stage late, according to her, because of the harassment. She said, "I wanted to attend the parade, but I could not." She explained that she was harassed physically and mentally in the car by two people who were taking her to the parade.

Little Girl's Hairstyles - How to do hair for School Pics!
I don't know about the rest of you, but School Picture Day is probably one of my most stressful mornings (pathetic, I know). I stress because:
1: I can't be there to rearrange, comb, spritz anything back into place, and
2: how do I get the hair to STICK, look natural, but not move until it's picture time?
I justify my erratic and tense behavior because, as I tell my girls, "I'm paying for these, so I want them to be PERFECT." So, now that you are feeling sorry for my children, let me share with you some possible ideas, that I think would be SUPERB for picture day.
I really really like my girls' hair down for pictures. I think that if I'm going to do something fancy, it should be visible, and since most of my fancy stuff is in the BACK of the head, it does nothing for their pictures, which I really want to show off their cute little faces. So, here's some of my favorites, with the hair down, that I think we'll be choosing from, since our picture day is tomorrow!
But, I know some of you may want to have the hair up, so I've picked a few faves for you too. They are at the end. Enjoy! Good luck with your morning!
Hair Down
Rosettes/Twist Bun Headband (I will be sharing a video on how to make the actual headbands soon!)
Hair Up
If you wanted to eliminate the top twists, I think a side bun with a flower would be adorable for pictures as well. I'm leaning towards this hairdo myself.....

Little Girl's Hairstyles - How to do a Puffy Braid Updo 10-15 Min
Well hi there..........I've been away for a while! It's been such a crazy last few weeks. My daughter started a new school, we've had family visiting, and I've just had other duties taking priority! But I hope to redeem myself and start posting regularly once again!
Here's a fun one that I saw on a little girl when we were at the library. I'm sure she thought I was odd as I kept glancing at her trying to 'understand' her hairdo so I could go home and do it myself!
Basically, this is just an upside down puffy braid, that starts at the base of her neck and travels up to a messy/stuffed bun up top. There is a front ponytail that will join the bun at the top as well. Begin by parting off the lowest ponytail section and clipping off the rest up top. Of course I do this with damp hair!
After doing this section, and the next section above it and putting them into puffy braids (shown below), I part off the top and frontmost ponytail, as pictured. In retrospect, I think I'd do a pull thru ponytail on the top, so it would lay flatter. Either works!
Then you are left with one last section, which is where you will join the bottom two puffy braid ponytails and the front ponytail.
Gather it tightly into a messy stuffed bun. If you want to watch the video on how I do this, go HERE.
Here's a pic of those nifty little bobby pins I love so much,
and how I'm using them to pin up sections of her stuffed bun to make it look more messy.
Voila!
Neat and tidy, cute and fast! Just how we like them!
Happy School Days moms and gals! Where did summer go!? My gal is already on her second week!

Little Girl's Hairstyles--How to do a Triple French Braid- 10-15 min
Hi ladies! Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by school starting up again so soon!? We only have a week left, and I'm fully in denial! But the good thing about school starting is that means I'll be back on a schedule, and that means I'm going to be blogging more consistently! I've really been a slacker this summer, but hey, what is summertime for if not to break away from the mad routines of life, right!? I hope you all have been having lots of fun with your kids--school age or not.
So here' s something we tried out. This was a tester hairdo, to see how it would look (as so many of them are!). My vote is:
1: This would look BETTER on shorter hair, allowing the braids to show more.
2: Next time I'll loop up the braids, attaching it back to the point where the braid is loose from the head.
And...down here, yes, down below..........these are my latest FAVE books!! Check out these great prices! I've been telling EVERYONE about The Help--it's such a great read, especially for us ladies. Go pick up a copy TODAY!

2: Next time I'll loop up the braids, attaching it back to the point where the braid is loose from the head.
I first parted off (wet hair) the first of three sections from ear to ear.
I did an inside out braid, and braided down to the ends of her hair.
I continued down her head, parting off the second section making it even in size. I then did two more braids in the next two sections, braiding the hair down to the ends.
This is how I think this style would look SO cute on shorter hair, since the braids wouldn't as long. If your daughter's hair is long like hers, then you can try the looping up. I gathered the three braids together at her neck and tied it with a ribbon, BUT we both decided we didn't love that either. So we decided to just let them hang, which was my munchkin's first choice.
And happy here we are!
