 In an interview, she said that she had come into modeling and acting “quite by accident”.She had planned to learn chartered accountancy or study medicine.

In 2006, Basu claimed to have been harassed by organizers of the India Day Parade in Edison, New Jersey. Basu was initially scheduled to lead the parade on August 13, 2006. Basu eventually appeared on stage late, according to her, because of the harassment.

This Bengali bombshell was bold enough to accept an unusual role in her debut film, Abbas Mustan’s “Ajnabee”, with Bobby Deol, Akshay Kumar & Kareena Kapoor. She played a married woman who goes all out to woo her husband’s married friend.
