When Bipasha Basu called Ameesha Patel 'too small' 

Talking about the whole controversy, in the 2004 chat show, Bipasha shared that Ameesha didn't have the physical attribute to carry a role like Jism. She also added that Ameesha is too petite and too small. Bipasha also called Ameesha's entire frame wrong. She was quoted as saying: 

"I would say first of all Ameesha doesn’t have the physical attributes to carry a role like Jism. It is a very honest (statement), I would not cast her to carry a Jism. You need to be a woman, like a total package, not just bodily but you have to have a very strong personality. I think she is too petite, too small to do that. You know, her whole frame is wrong. She would not fit the role."
