“NO personal questions please and all John questions are ruled out,” says Bipasha Basu, who was in the city on Wednesday. And marriage, says the sexy actress, can wait. “Right now it’s work that’s important to me and my parents understand that. So it’s going to be a while before marriage happens,” she says.

Awaiting the release of her latest film, Corporate, she says, “I know it sounds cliched, but Corporate is genuinely a different film. First, I play a woman who’s more than my age and has a serious outlook. Moreover it’s made by a man who’s been subtly sensitive while handling such a subject and has ensured that ambitious women are not made to seem like vamps.”

It’s obvious she’s now in the mood to experiment, even chopping off her trademark long hair to sport a Monroelike look. “It’s for my next film with Abbas Mustan. I hate wearing wigs and decided to chop it off before I changed my mind. Like a typical Bengali girl, I’ve had long chotis all this while, so this did take some thinking,” she says.

But there’s no loss of sex appeal, she says. “Besides it’s the audience who’ve tagged me with that. I’ve never made an effort or tried to dress up a certain way thinking now I’m going to ooze sex appeal. At the end of the day, sex appeal lies in your personality,” she says.

Her personality takes on a different shade in her other release, Omkara. And what does she think of Shakespeare being adapted into a Hindi film?

“I think it’s a brilliant idea! Imagine Othello being set against a rustic Indian background! Just goes to show that people are the same everywhere, they have the same insecurities, greed, anger and feelings,” says the actress.

In spite of her hectic schedule in Bangalore she still found some time to spend with sister Bidisha who lives here. “We’re a very close-knit and my family is always around me. I’m very close to my sisters. And I absolutely adore Bidisha’s son Anitej. They recently came down to Mumbai for a month and we had such a blast!”
