‘It's The Right Time:' Bipasha Basu Confirms Her Acting Comeback
Last Updated:
Bipasha Basu opened up about her acting comeback, revealing that she isn't worried about it.
Bipasha Basu is all set to return to the world of acting after a hiatus since 2015's horror drama Alone. As a devoted mother, Bipasha prioritises her time with daughter Devi and wants to make her proud with meaningful projects. In a recent interview, the Race 2 actress revealed how she desires to explore new opportunities, striking a balance between her passion for acting and family commitments.
'I have worked from the age of 15, so I needed a break. When I got married, I definitely consciously stepped back. I wanted to enjoy the perks of all that I had worked hard for. Then the three years went by so fast – being in love and settling down, it was great. I don't regret any of it." Bipasha stated in an interview with ETimes.
Reflecting her motherhood journey, Bipasha revealed, 'The decision of wanting to become a mother – that was a little difficult for me. I had to make some strong decisions, and it took me some time to do that. I had a baby, and now I don't want to miss out on any time with my baby. Itni mehnat se bacha bada kiya hai. It's as simple as that."
The actress, 46, was asked if she misses facing the camera, to which she replied, 'I do miss it. I love acting. I used to do it 365 days a year. I've done it for 20 years. So, I do miss it. And it's (return to acting) going to happen soon."
Bipasha stated that she is not worried about her comeback as different types of roles are now being written for women. 'I'm not worried, that's because now it's looking good for women. There are more opportunities, there are more platforms. There are newer ways the world is looking at women, it's not stereotypical," she added.
The Dhoom 2 actress revealed that she has always tried to do something different, right from the time she began her career. 'I went against the tide always. And it's always worked for me. So, I do believe that you have to live your life. The work and your life have to kind of be in balance. Mine is not right now. It's my baby, my baby, my baby. But it is going to come. I think it is the right time. I will do it," she explained.
Bipasha Basu wants to make her daughter Devi proud with meaningful work. She also shared an adorable insight about Devi's curiosity when people take photos with her mom, showcasing a sweet glimpse into their mother-daughter bond.

Furthermore, the 'Lagaan' actor said that if he were to start directing films, he would simply leave acting.

'Mai uss type ka aadmi hun ki agar main bore ho raha hun toh main kaam nahi kar paata (I'm that type of person that if I get bored, I cannot work),' the actor claimed. When Aamir directed the 2007 film, it was not because of his willingness but a necessity.

Shefali Jariwala, who had no kids, dreamed of adopting a baby girl. But something was stopping her
Shefali Jariwala, remembered for her appearance in the popular music video Kaanta Laga and as a Bigg Boss 13 contestant, had once shared a deeply personal aspiration — her desire to adopt a child. Long before her rise to fame, Shefali had thought about motherhood through adoption. She revealed in multiple interviews that the idea of adoption first took root when she was just around 10 or 12 years old, and it remained with her throughout her life. Shefali specifically wished to adopt a baby girl, believing daughters shared a unique emotional bond with their parents — a connection she cherished with her own. Her dream wasn't shaped by fame or societal expectations, but a consistent and heartfelt desire to provide love and security to a child in need. Convincing Her Family and Partner While Shefali had clarity about her decision, she admitted that the process required alignment with her partner, actor Parag Tyagi. In interviews, she mentioned that it was during her stint in Bigg Boss 13 that Parag began to seriously consider the idea of starting a family. Despite their evolving understanding as a couple, the journey towards adoption was far from smooth. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Articles Vally She also faced resistance from her family. Some members were initially unsupportive of her decision to adopt. However, Shefali believed that with time, understanding would come. For her, adoption wasn't just a means to motherhood — it was a way to give back the love and privilege life had given her.

Adoption Laws and Emotional Toll Though committed to adoption, Shefali acknowledged in her interview with ETimes that the legal and emotional hurdles involved. She described the process as long, regulated, and emotionally draining. She said the authorities evaluate many aspects — the couple's marital stability, health conditions, and home environment. Extensive paperwork, counseling sessions, and interactions with adoptive families are also part of the procedure. Shefali noted that many hopeful parents even lose confidence midway due to the challenges. She explained how the process could take up to four years under normal circumstances, with the pandemic further delaying it. In fact, she said the lockdown significantly disrupted their plans, affecting not just the timeline but also their emotional readiness. Despite all difficulties, Shefali remained vocal about breaking the stigma around adoption. She said that a child doesn't need to be biologically related to be loved like one's own. To her, what mattered was giving a child a safe and nurturing home. Her words reflected a strong belief that the child destined for her would eventually find their way into her life. While her dream remained unfulfilled at the time of her passing, Shefali Jariwala's openness about adoption brought attention to an issue often overlooked — and showed that love, not biology, defines parenthood.
