Bipasha Basu had panic attack, fled filming of “Omkara”

Bollywood actor symbol Bipasha Basu says she doesn”t get rattled easily. But a bunch of unkempt, lewd men did the trick when shooting dance sequences for the recently released movie “Omkara.”” The Bollywood beauty told the Mumbai Mirror newspaper in an interview published on Monday that she ran away from the stage and only returned when she was told the men were actors who had dressed down for a role in the audience. Bombay, the hub of India’s entertainment world, is also called Mumbai. “I saw the crowd and I had a panic attack and ran away. I had never seen so many unshaven, unkempt, unbathed and lecherous men in a crowded sweaty place,”” Basu was quoted as saying. “I got really scared. And for the record, I”m not easy to scare.”” Basu plays a dancer and featured in two raunchy songs in the movie based on Shakespeare’s “Othello.”” The film opened last week. The movie also stars well-known Bollywood actors Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. Basu has starred in more than 22 movies since she entered the movie industry five years ago. Her recent hit films include “Corporate,”” “No Entry”” and “Phir Hera Pheri,”” or “Some More Hustling.””
