When Bipasha bent `name` rule for `Jodi Breakers`

When Bipasha bent `name` rule for `Jodi Breakers`"Jodi Breakers" has a song "Bipasha" composed by Salim-Sulaiman, but actress Bipasha Basu had apprehensions before lending her name to the number.

"It's a song and it is a dance number where I'VE performed. I had apprehension before performing it but (director) Ashwini Chaudhary insisted that I should take heed to the song. The composition by Salim-Sulaiman was excellent. I made everyone hear it - family and friends they usually said they liked the song and that it's going to go waste if you happen to don't perform in it," Bipasha said.

"I was very protective about my name. I DO NOT even lend it to a personality... That is the film I'M really attached to. So for a pleasing film I DID NOT mind lending my name," she added.

"Jodi Breakers", which has released Friday, sees Bipasha romancing Madhavan.

Bipasha, who came out with a fitness DVD sometime back, says being fit is an added bonus.

"I believe I HAVE TO be healthy, I HAVE TO respect my body. I always preach and push people to like themselves and look good," she said adding that stress is taking a toll on people of their 30s. "Stress related diseases are everywhere and the age group has come all the way down to 30... it isn't far when it'll reach the 20s. I always believe whilst you take care of yourself, the added bonus is that you simply look good," the 33-year-old said.

But on the same time, Bipasha eats well and added: "I'M a large eater but I eat healthy. But I figure out so much. I'M very blessed that I REALLY LIKE to workout. Once I visit the gym, I'VE the largest smile on my face and those are jealous of me. Everybody is like, 'What is that this? If you come here you look so happy.' People think I'M very motivational."
