Ameesha Patel responds; sets the record straight on Bipasha Basu's 'Koffee With Karan' comment

Actress Ameesha Patel has finally spoken out about an old remark made against her by Bipasha Basu. The incident dates back to a Koffee With Karan episode, where Ameesha commented on Bipasha's hips after the release of her film "Jism" with John Abraham. For the unversed, Ameesha had stated that she wouldn't have done a film like "Jism" as it would have displeased her grandmother. 

Later, Bipasha and Lara Dutta appeared on the same show and retorted that Ameesha couldn't have carried off a role like "Jism" due to her physical attributes.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ameesha candidly revealed why she would have never taken up a project like "Jism." 

She affirmed her stand stating, she still stands by what she said. She further said that 'Basic Instinct' is a bad film. She further said, "Sharon Stone is a goddess. 'Jism' was a fantastic film with great music, great performances. All I am saying is, why Bipasha! I am not comfortable being a Sharon Stone. I think it takes guts to be there, be bold physically. I can be called sexy and hot. Am I that comfortable with that amount of boldness and skin show on screen, I am not."

Not only this, the actress also recalled an incident where she refused to wear a bikini in the song "Lazy Lamhe" from "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic," further emphasizing her stance on body image and boldness in roles.

The discussion resurfaced in the context of Ameesha's upcoming film "Gadar 2," which she stars in alongside Sunny Deol. As the movie gears up for its theatrical release on August 11, Ameesha's revelation has sparked renewed interest in the two actors' exchange on the popular talk show.
