With my debut character, I had an opportunity to explore my range : Bipasha Basu

Mumbai : Actress Bipasha Basu’s debut movie ‘Ajnabee’ has completed two decades since its release in Hindi cinema on Tuesday.

With Ajnabee, I had so much to do with my role.”She added: “A thriller peels like an onion – layer by layer – and it allows you to play with those layers. So, with my debut character Sonia itself, I had an opportunity to explore my range as an artiste. It was an incredible experience to work with Abbas-Mustan and the whole team.”Bipasha was later seen in films such as ‘Raaz’, ‘Apharan’, ‘Omkara’, ‘No Entry’, ‘Corporate’ and ‘Dhoom 2’ to name a few.
