This started a cold war between Bipasha and Ameesha.

What Bipasha said after Ameesha Patel’s comment

Bipasha said in an episode of KWK: “First of all I would like to say that Ameesha does not have the physical attributes to play a role as Jism. It’s a very honest (statement), I wouldn’t cast her to carry a sperm. You have to be a woman, as a total package, not just physically, but you have to have a very strong personality. I think she’s too small, too small for that. You know, her whole body is wrong. She wouldn’t fit the role (sic).” Lara added, saying, “The girl (Ameesha) has been dealing with more than enough in her life to actually think or talk about someone else.”

She recounted the whole incident and revealed that she had to show up Coffee With Karan with Arjun Rampal later, but he contracted typhus and their episode was eventually canceled. said Ameesha Karan asked her about Bipasha’s comment and what she thought of it and she refused to answer. “So Karan came up to me and asked me in his typical Karan style, ‘So Ameesha, you know, Bipasha and Lara came on the show and said this about you. And what are you going to say when you come on the show next week?’ And I said ‘nothing. I have nothing to say, I’m not going to comment. Person has a view. They have a view I don’t have.’ So he was like, ‘Oh, your typical South Bombay Polish manners’. I said, ‘Yes, because that’s me,'” Ameesh revealed.

Ameesha Patel says that Bipasha Basu was not the right choice for Jism

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama now the actor said she still believes Bipasha was not the right choice for Jism. Ameesha said, “I still stand by what I said. I don’t think Basic Instinct is a bad movie. I think Sharon Stone is a goddess. And she’s great. I think Jism was also a fantastic movie. It was a fantastic movie with great music and great performances. I’m just saying why Bipasha? I’m not comfortable being Sharon Stone. I think it takes guts to be there and be brutal. Physical Yes, I can be called sexy and hot. Am I that comfortable with that amount of daring and skin show on screen? I am not.”
