Bipasha Basu: 'It's tough wearing a bikini'

Bipasha Basu has revealed that it is "tough work" looking good enough to wear a bikini.

The actress is to launch her second fitness DVD to coincide with the release of Players.

She told The Times of India: "Usually, I am very critical about my look but this time I have worked really on my body and I am pleased with the result.

"We have a strong bikini culture but the girls find it hard to pull off the look, as it is tough to wear a bikini, swimsuit is easy though. The DVD is going to give the girls who are already lean an idea how to go about their lower body."

Basu said this week that she found kissing on screen more intimate than wearing a bikini.

In November, the Dum Maaro Dum star launched the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon with fellow Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.
