Bipasha to join John in Pondicherry to scotch rumours

Mumbai, June 23: To make it amply clear that their relationship is as strong as ever, Bollywood screen scorcher Bipasha Basu is flying to Pondicherry June 27 to join her boyfriend John Abraham.

The actress says that at one level she is sick and tired of rubbishing frequent rumours of their break up but adds that the speculation has taken a really nasty turn this time.

'It's so foolish and self-defeating to keep reacting to these periodic talks of links and breaks-ups. Today we're being linked with particular people,' Bipasha told IANS.

'Tomorrow it'll be someone else. We can't let these things affect us. And we don't. But this time the rumours got really mean. I can take it and even answer back. But John isn't comfortable being attacked. And for what?'


Bipasha will join John in Pondicherry, where he's shooting for Nagesh Kukunoor's film Aashaayen, on June 27.

'Neither of us is going to be unprofessional, leave our work and go running to one another just because people are spreading these strange rumours.

'Poor John, he's shooting a very difficult author-backed role. If he suggests he's taking off to meet me, Nagesh will probably have a fit. I too have my professional commitments. I can't just tell Abbas and Mustan to give me a day off from the shooting of Race though they're too sweet to say no.

'And that isn't meant to stop wagging tongues. We don't have to prove anything to anybody. Let them say what they want. I love John and no one else.'

Bipasha says she was shooting outside Mumbai when she heard about the rumours of her break-up with John.

'It was so peaceful and nourishing to breathe in unpolluted air... I told my best friend Susie, I'd rather not come back. But there's no point in pretending that the ugly talk isn't there.

'John spoke on behalf of both of us yesterday. I'm hoping it would stop this crazy chaos of idle gossip. I'm really tired of all this. It doesn't effect either of us, or our relationship. But I'm tired of being scrutinised all the time.'

Earlier, a close friend of John dismissed media reports about their supposed split by insisting that all was fine between John and Bipasha.

Being Bengali on-screen isn't easy for Bipasha

Bipasha Basu may be a Bengali bombshell, but being a Bong on-screen doesn't come all that naturally to her. Bips played a Bengali in Corporate, which flopped.

Then Dhoom 2 had her as a Bengali cop. "In Corporate, I didn't have any Bengali lines. In Dhoom 2, I got an opportunity to talk in my mother tongue for the first time. I've never done a regional film, so this is the first time on camera that I spoke in Bengali.

It was hilarious to dub Bengali lines," she guffaws. What tickled Bips' funny bone was that she speaks the language at home but doing it on-screen felt strange. One more little known fact about Bipasha's bongness is that her family surname was actually Bose.

"My grandfather used to call himself K.N. Bose, but my father and uncle took Basu as a surname. Bose and Basu are close," she says. Bipasha Basu definitely sounds hotter than Bipasha Bose.

The actress might be making her Bengali film debut soon. Talks with ace director Rituparno Ghosh are on for a regional flick. "I am looking at doing this film called Draupadi with Rituparno, but I have still to read the script and agree to the film," says the Bollywood sizzler. Time she explored her rich cultural heritage.

I don't love Saif Ali Khan: Biapsha

While John shoots for Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayen, girlfriend Bipasha Basu is generously being linked with Saif Ali Khan.

It all started during the Koffee with Karan show, Bips had made an innocent statement that if she was not seeing John, she may have been attracted to Saif.

Much-amused Bipasha says that Saif and her are just colleagues in Abbas-Mustan's Race, and that they get along very well. They went out for dinner just once and that too for half an hour.

“It’s crazy, we’re colleagues in Abbas-Mustan’s Race and we get along very well. I’ve been out with Saif for dinner just once. If that’s a reason for rumours to start, then so be it,” she says.

Well however now that Bips is being linked to Saif, she perhaps regrets making that statement.

What is adding to speculations that all is not well between John and Bips is her recent appearance at a fashion event with ex-flame Dino Morea.

However Bips claims, “It was only because John was out of town. The minute I drove in with Dino, I knew tongues would wag, let them.”

Bips feels that all these rumours surface just because John is out of town and she says “Just because John is out of town so much, people think they’re free to jump to conclusions about the status of our relationship. What they don't understand is that such rumours can affect our relationships.”

Bipasha Basu turns Pakistani

Bipasha has finished shooting for Vivek Agnihotri's football flick Goal.

Laughs Bipasha, "What makes it special is the fact that John and I are coming together after three years. The last film we did together was Madhoshi. After that I was determined to do only a good film with him.

Also, in Goal I play a Pakistani girl. I wanted to make sure that whenever we come together again our chemistry mustn't be a repeat of Jism. In Goal our chemistry is completely different."

More exciting than the presence of John is the fact that Bipasha plays a girl from the other side of the border. In this she becomes one with Preity Zinta in Veer-Zara and Kareena Kapoor in Refugee.

"I've never played anything like this. Though the focus of the plot is the game of football, I do have a substantial role to play."

She laughs and remembers, "This is my first role as a Pakistani. But I've played a Muslim girl in a Muslim Social called in Ishq Hai Tumse. I got to play a very sweet girl in that. I' excited about Goal not only because it's got John in it, but also because my character stands out."
