We are Puppets in the Hands of Media: Bipasha Basu

New Delhi, Oct 26: Exhausted with too much media ado about beau John Abraham and rumours of splitsville between them, Bollywood actor Bipasha Basu says the media governs the personal lives of actors these days.

"We are just puppets in the hands of the media, especially when it comes to our personal lives. The media decides when our (John-Bipasha) relationship starts going through a rough patch and when it mends," Bipasha said.

Tinsel town has been abuzz with rumours of their long-time relationship souring and later their reunion.

"In this industry it happens. However, for me it is a great pride being myself. I will never conduct myself in a way that I have to be ashamed of, later," she maintained.

"I also understand the pressures the media works under. The world is extremely competitive. You have to sell news, if one channel has it the other wants it too."

The dusky beauty was in the capital Wednesday evening to launch her friend and favourite designer Rocky S' couture line at fashion store Aza.

Sporting a sunset orange sari teamed with a golden embroidered blouse, she left her hair in trademark style -- long and straight - 'especially for Rocky's show'.

Asked how much time she spends on shopping, she said, "Now I don't get much time to shop. Life has become a little luxurious now with more help at home, as the work has increased. Designer friends like him (Rocky) design clothes for me when I am sitting at home. As far as jewellery is concerned I love wearing my mom's jewellery."

As the evening blossomed, models decked in bridal wear, including lehngas (skirts), mermaid skirts, cholis (blouses), saris, kurtas teamed with salwars and churidars, sashayed across the ramp.

The colour palette ranged from deep reds, strawberry pinks and aqua to creamy pastel shades of peach, apricot, old rose, honey and olive.

An eclectic mix of brocades, georgettes and net organza was used to create the outfits, which were adorned with ribbon appliqué, gota, thread, stones and crystal embellishments.

And what would the Bong beauty wear at her wedding?

"I am going to have a beach wedding and everybody will be in beach wear," she laughed.

"I often tell my mother during light hearted conversations that it will be great fun seeing all the aunts shaping up for my beach wedding," she added.

Bipasha's forthcoming projects including 'No Smoking', 'Goal', 'Race', 'Mr Fraud' and 'Taj Mahal'.

    Bollywood stars like to live in media glare and are desperate that media write everything about them. And this is also applicable to most of our cricketers. So what Bipasha Basu says is not entirely right. In fact, Bisha Basu, John Abraham and other stars coddle with the media to be in the limelight. These stars, thanks to the media and the adoring public, suffer from an attitude problem and are paranoid, rather than realising that they are mere mortals.

    From my observation it is the people who are noveau riche or have risen from rags to riches lead a surreal life and want the media to cover all aspects of their life and they also flaunt their wealth and make themselves very flamboyant, as if they are rich from time immemorial and are not ready to accept the fact that the other day they were nobody when it came to wealth and fame. They conveniently forget their past. The other day, while speaking to a friend of mine, being aware that his apartment is nearby one of India's top tycoon's house, I enquired about this personality.

    He told me that this personality, who means a lot to the Indian economy and prosperity and is known for his business ethics, lives just behind where my friend stays. I then enquired this personality must be living in a palatial house being a tycoon. He suprised me by saying that this man lives in an apartment building and there are others living in the same building. Surprise of surprise for a man whose families have been wealthy for at least 200 years. In short, some people suffer from attitude problem and a sense of insecurity. In short,
