After wrapping up the Bhushan Patel-directed thriller, Aadat, also featuring husband Karan Singh Grover, Bipasha Basu is now gearing up for her return to the small screen. According to a source, the actress is in talks to host the Indian version of the international TV show, Man Enough, moderated by Justin Baldoni. The US-based show features a diverse cast of influential Hollywood stars who discuss the traditional definition of masculinity and pushes the audience to step out of their comfort zone.

“Given the surge in awareness around issues like sexual harassment, homophobia and body-shamming, Bipasha feels that it 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 guests will attempt to create awareness and sensitivity towards social evils,” informs the source, adding that the show will start airing in the second half of next year and the team is currently working on the paperwork.

Bipasha has earlier hosted the first season of the horror show, Darr Sabko Lagta Hai. She opted out of the second season as she was getting married.
