Bipasha Basu Singh Grover (yes, we have to get used to calling her that now!) recently opened up about her initial struggles in Mumbai. In an interview with DNA, she candidly shared a side of her life that we didn’t know about earlier.
She debuted with Ajnabee before which she struggled as a model. However, her modelling journey was not a bed of roses. Turns out, she struggled for food and carried a hammer and a pillow to protect herself, since she would fall asleep while traveling in the cab.
She said:
Initially, life was very tough, especially, but I could never tell my parents how bad it was. For days I didn’t have any money and would subsist on just bananas. Dino Morea and I would share Rs 10 thali where I would eat the rice and him, the chapatis. As a group, we would go to a restaurant, order one ice cream for everyone and sit there for hours.
The actress didn’t have it easy but rose to popularity soon! You go, girl!
