Many times. I don't come with any rehearsals or work out situations in my head. I leave it to my director. I follow my director like a bat; I'm blind in front of him. I'm not the kind of actor who thinks they've done so much. I see a lot of actors doing just that, and it doesn't help them. Because, ultimately, a film is a director's conviction.

So what do you do when you aren't on the sets or contemplating a script?

I spend time with my family, friends, do silly things. What those silly things are is not to be known because of the way it will clash with the image I have in the media [laughs]. They're just silly -- sometimes girly -- things.

What do you think is the public perception, the Bipasha Basu image?
