Bipasha Basu not interested in number game

Actor Bipasha Basu may be giving hits as well as having some really good films under her belt, all the signs of reaching the numero uno position in Bollywood which people say is now a photo finish between Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra, but the Bong bombshell says she has no intention of playing the number game.
"I have been in the industry for nine years now, and I'm going to be around till the time I enjoy doing movies. For someone who did not have heroes pushing me forward or producers who were uncles, I think I've done fabulously. All credit must go to the audiences who have liked and accepted me," the dusky siren claimed.
She added, "This number game is fun to read about, but it's not great to actually get sucked in by it. I have never thought about it. It's too taxing to be number one anyway. What if the next day I drop to number 15? This is why I prefer to stick to working hard and feeling satisfied with what I have achieved."
Bipasha is sizzling in the promos of her forthcoming film Aa Dekhen Zara in which she is paired opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh, someone who is younger than her. In Bachna Ae Haseeno too she was paired with a younger actor, Ranbir Kapoor. We quizzed her about this trend in her career.
"I don't understand why there is such a hullabaloo when I'm paired with a guy (Neil Nitin Mukesh) who is only three years younger than me, but is in the same mental space as me. I have acted with actors 20 years older than me and that time no one said a thing. If I'm looking good with someone, then I think the age difference does not matter," she said.
Along with commercial masala movies, Bips (who has been tagged as a sex symbol for many years now) is also dabbling the world of serious cinema with Pankh and Lamhaa. We asked her if it was time she shed her sexpot status. "No, I will cry if you take it away from me... just kidding!" she laughed. "Being sexy is something you can't take away from anyone. It depends on your personality and traits."
