Bipasha Basu in talks to host Indian version of Man Enough

Last seen in horror drama Alone in 2015, Bipasha Basu is presently shooting for her comeback movie Aadat, which also stars her husband, Karan Singh Grover in the lead role. Helmed by filmmaker Bhushan Patel, the film is complete and is expected to hit theatres in the first half of 2019.

After Aadat, Bipasha might do a television show. Yes, you heard that right! Buzz has it that the Raaz (2002) actress has been approached to host the Indian version of the popular US TV chat show Man Enough.


“Given the surge in awareness around issues like sexual harassment, homophobia and body shaming, Bipasha feels this is the ideal time to adapt the show for the Indian audience. Staying true to the international format, the show will see Bollywood’s big names talk about manhood and social issues that aren’t usually discussed by men on public forums. Together, Bipasha and her guest will attempt to create awareness and sensitivity towards social evils,” a source close to the development reveals.

The untitled show is expected to hit the airwaves in the second half of 2019.
