Bipasha Basu recently demonstrated her new fitness workout – Jukari Fit to Fly – in an event organised by Cirque de Soleil. Jukari is the Afrikaans name for a reebok, a type of deer and the equipment used for the workout – the Flyset – has been designed by the Reebok sports company. “Right now I have just had a small taste of it but yes, when you do an hour-long workout like this, you actually will feel like you are flying. It’s really fun,” Bipasha said “There are a lot of women, and some of my friends too, who don’t like to go to the gym and this kind of a workout is great fun because they will get to join a group class and there will be music.”
Bipasha, who is currently involved in making the movie Pankh about a young boy who suffers from gender confusion, has spoken openly about the issue of homosexuality that is currently being debated in India. “We are born with certain natural preferences which we can’t deny,” she states, “No one can dictate what is good or bad for a person’s sexual experience. It is an individual choice.”
Apart than Pankh, Bipasha has a number of other fascinating movies on-stream. “I have in my kitty Lamha in which I am essaying the role of a Kashmiri girl and a comedy flick called All the Best. Apart from these, I am working on Rituparno Ghosh’s Bengali film Shab Choritro Kalpanik and on my first English movie Chimera opposite Billy Zane.”
