Bipasha Basu detained at the Mumbai Airport

Bipasha Basu detained by Mumbai customs department

After Minnisha Lamba, it was actor Bipasha Basu's turn to be intercepted by Customs officials at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport on Thursday.

Basu, who was returning from London, was asked to pay Rs 12,000 as duty after undeclared goods, including sun-glasses, shoes and perfumes worth Rs 65,000 was found in her bags.

“She was not detained. She was asked to pay duty and let off,” said Additional Commissioner, Customs, Mahendra Pal.

“She was going through the green channel. The value of the goods was not significant enough, so we just asked her to pay duty and let her go,” said a Customs official at the airport.

Last week, Lamba ran into trouble with the Customs after she was found to be carrying undeclared diamond jewellery worth Rs 31 lakh.

Wishing a very happy Birthday Bipasha Basu

Happy Birthday Bipasha Basu

If the short form of Very Important Person is 'VIP' and Non Resident Indian is 'NRI', then, what will be the short form of 'Beautiful Indian Precious And Sexy Hot Actress'? Well, no prizes for guessing it, as its none other than Bipasha Basu, the sexy oomph-mati for whom talent and beauty knows no full stop!

Having started quite early in life, success and fame befriended this model-turned actress quite early in life. Even after she became a top rung celeb, she always remained grounded and also accessible, which is what makes her totally different from the other glam brigade.

After her smashing debut in Ajnabee, she went onto do films like Raaz, Race, Jism, No Entry, Apaharan, Phir Hera Pheri, Bachna Ae Haseeno…to say the least, in which Bips (as she is fondly called) sizzled, while the awestruck audiences frizzled. If that's not enough, she is all set to even set the Hollywood screens afire with Singularity.
