Bipasha Basu - The Bengali Diva Missed Kolkata & Her Family On Durga Puja

Bengali babe Bipasha Basu is depressed because she couldn’t head back home to Kolkata to celebrate Durga Puja with her family and, to top it, beau John Abraham is also not in town.

“I wanted to go to Kolkata for Durga Puja. It’s a family puja started by my grandfather and we’ve kept up the tradition every year. The whole family makes it a point to be in Kolkata for the family puja. But I can’t,” said the actress. The last time Bipasha attended the puja it was five years ago.

“And it was a disaster. John (Abraham) had accompanied me and the entire focus shifted from the solemnity of the occasion. We were mobbed. It was so embarrassing,” she added. She has not been able to join her family for the celebration, thanks to her hectic work schedule.

“Every year it has become the same. For the last five years, I’ve been trying my level-best to make it home to Kolkata. But it never works out. This year I’m busier than ever. I’m totally drained out with rehearsals meeting and preparations for my Kashmiri’s role in ‘Lamhaa’, which starts very shortly. I’m doing my looks, clothes, not to mention my diction and action classes. It’s hectic and exhausting for me.” Full News
