"Amitabh Bachchan is far too sexy even at this age. He is extremely hot. He is an awesome person. I wish the new generation of actors get at least 10 per cent of the traits of Bachchan's personality," said Bipasha who was here to promote her movie 'Alone'.

Replying to a query, she said that she wished to play the lead role in an action movie.

She said that actresses must be given lead roles in action movies.

"Actresses become part of such movies but usually we don't have much work in them," she said.

Karan Singh Grover who would make his debut in 'Alone' said that though he had worked in the entertainment industry for ten years, he felt nervous while doing intimate scenes with Bipasha initially.

Grover said that he tried to do away with retakes to save time.
