At 35, Bipasha says no to college girl roles

Actress Bipasha Basu, who has turned 35, says she's only keen to do roles that suit her and that she's not game to essaying a college girl on the big screen.

Bipasha, who celebrated her birthday Wednesday, will next be seen in a double role in horror movie "Alone". She was last seen in "Creature 3D".

Asked why she's picking horror films, the bold and beautiful actress said: "If at all anybody offers me a role of a college girl, I won't do it. It is very frivolous! You have to do roles that suit you."

She feels that whenever she has essayed "strong roles", people have liked it.

"People want to see me in strong roles...whether it's in an artistic film or comedy. They want a lot of strength (in the character). And I only care about my audience, about entertaining the people who love me," she added.

Bipasha is currently busy promoting "Alone", directed by Bhushan Patel. It marks TV actor Karan Singh Grover's debut in Bollywood.

The actress is happy with the response that the trailer has received, and she is hopeful the movie will be lapped up once it releases Jan 16.

"I feel good when my work is appreciated. People are liking my chemistry with Karan. This film is not just a horror story, it a love story."
