Actoress Bipasha Basu may be known for being health conscious and a fitness freak but during festivals she goes all out and indulges herself. The actor who admits to having a sweet tooth says, “I love sweets and festivals are the best time to gorge on them. Every year I eat a lot of sweets during Durga Puja and Ganesh Chaturthi.”

Though she denies being an atheist, Bipasha isn’t a huge believer in God either. “I am spiritual and I do believe in God but it is not like I  go to a temple and pray regularly. But I do attend all the pujas and religious functions my mom keeps on organising.”

Ask her who is more religious — actor beau John Abraham or her and she squeals, “I am definitely more religious amongst the two of us but we would rather call ourselves spiritual or God fearing.”

Though the actress doesn’t pray or worship any idol in particular, Bipasha makes sure that she visits all her friends during festivals.

“I have a lot of friends and we celebrate all festivals together. I pay them a visit and mithai’s are something I love gorging on during this time.”

One must be assuming that once the festivities end, the actor would starve herself to get back in shape but she coolly admits, “I am a big havrat (hog). I like my food and I can’t dream of not eating all that I like. Sometimes it is good to eat,” she chuckles.

Bipasha, who is a Bengali, celebrates Durga Puja but also joins in the celebrations during Christmas and Eid. “My best friend is Catholic so I have practically grown up going to the church and celebrating Christmas. Festivals for me are about getting together and having fun,” she says.

And what is she praying for this time? “I am at my happiest best. I thank God for that all that he has given me,” she says before signing off.
