It has been ages since the audience saw Bipasha Basu on the silver screen.. The Bong hottie has always been fan favourite because of her past performances in the films. However, she has been away from the tinsel town for too long and her fans started missing her. Here's the good news. The Race actress is soon to start her own self defense class for the girls in the cities Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, just like Akshay Kumar.

The 40-year-old actress has been inspiring her followers with fitness notes and tips through social media. Also, her work out videos are quite popular amongst her admirers and fitness freaks. Now, moving ahead, she has decided to teach the women out there to take self defense lessons which is sure a move that most them will welcome.

A source was quoted telling Midday, "The girls will be trained in mixed martial arts and karate. Bipasha will host a special session towards the end of each course.” Confirming the news, Basu says, “The idea of starting this course was because I have always been particular about fitness. The working women of today need to be concerned about their health. These courses will teach them self-defense and keep them fit at the same time.”

Just as we said above, even her Ajnabee co-star Akshay too had earlier started a similar initiative for girls. Akki, along with Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray, runs free martial arts classes for women in the city at the Andheri Sports Complex. The duo also plan to open hundred such centres across the country. Looks like B-town celebs have found a new way to connect with their fans.
