Bips torn between Saif and John!

John Abraham is trying hard to woo Bipasha Basu again and the two can be seen bonding over frequent lunches. Close friends of the couple also indicate that John is making attempts to renew his ties with his girlfriend, and he is making sure that he spends quality time with Bips every day.

And his efforts are showing some fruit as well. Perhaps that's why Bipasha shot for her item number in John starrer 'No Smoking' despite her sprained ankle.

Because the pain was intense the movie’s producer Kumar Mangat asked her to rest for few hours. But after two hours the sexy lady was ready to shoot again.

Despite John asking her to go home, Bipasha took the painkillers and shot for the remaining day. The actress knew very well that if she had gone home it would have caused financial loss to the producer.

But single-and-ready-to-mingle Saif Ali Khan is still not out of the picture completely. Rumour has it that he visited dusky beauty when she was shooting for the shampoo commercial that both she and John have endorsed together as a couple in the past.

However this time Bips was shooting the commercial without John and instead with model Hemant Shivdasani.

A source claims “Saif dropped in for a while and hung around with Bips while she was shooting. It was quite surprising to see Saif on the sets. After hanging around for a while Saif left the sets, but again later he joined Bipasha and her friends at a nightspot after the shoot was completed”.

The model who worked with Bips on the shampoo commercial was extremely excited and said “Working with Bipasha was a great experience.” However the model refused to comment on whether Saif had dropped by on the sets.

Don't waste your time on me: Bips

Bipasha Basu isn't enjoying the way her relationship with John Abraham is being linked to her absence in the new shampoo ad for the brand they they endorse.

"People can say what they like. They do that anyway, no matter what explanations we give. John and I are not answerable to anyone."

Regarding the speculation about John doing the shampoo ad with another model, Bipasha sighs, "When we signed the contract for the shampoo we didn't even know we'd be doing any of their ads together."

Bipasha and John signed their contracts separately. "And my association with that brand of shampoo continues. At this point of time John and I are advertising different brands of shampoo. So the question of me being replaced in the new ad doesn't arise. People can continue to speculate as much as they like. It doesn't bother me."

All the loose talk about the status of her relationship with John has begun to annoy Bipasha. "Let them say what they like. My life is mine alone. I'm answerable only to myself, my family and my close friends.

Beyond that, does it really matter? What I'm doing in my personal life shouldn't be of any consequence to anyone except me. I mean no harm to anyone. So why harm me with such endless speculation?"

The gossip mongers have been going to town with the now-off-now-on observations. Says Bipasha. "Precious news space shouldn't be wasted on such trivia. There's so much more worth writing about. From now I won't discuss my private life in print."

A Chat with John Abraham

Macho Bollywood star John Abraham, who is currently shooting in Pondicherry for Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayen, says the widespread speculation about his 'serious rift' with Bipasha Basu is baseless.

Speaking to IANS in an exclusive interview, the suave actor said they are hurt and disturbed by the recent rumours, which are vicious attempts targeted to damage their relationship.

John, who has been constantly linked with several women by the media, said his relationship with Bipasha was strong enough to withstand any storm.

Excerpts from the interview:

Q: John, there has been a lot of talk about you and Bipasha splitting.
A: What can I say? It's completely untrue and I wish people would let us preserve the sanctity of our relationship. I speak on behalf of Bipasha and me when I say that all is absolutely fine between us. It hurts and disturbs us when speculation is carried to this damaging level.

Q: It isn't speculation any more. People seem to have written your relationship off.
A: I'm shocked at the upsurge of animosity against my relationship with Bipasha. I'm surprised by the intensity of loose talk. It's hit us like a tsunami. But our bonding is strong enough to withstand any storm. We never expected this kind of attack on not just our relationship but also our characters. People can say what they like. But we intend to remain together.

Q: But the talk must have hurt both of you. In fact, Bipasha who's generally gregarious has suddenly become reclusive.
A: What do you expect her to do? For a man, to face this kind of talk, is easier. She's a lady and she is under such unnecessary strain. Bipasha and I both come from very decent middle class backgrounds. Our parents taught us never to hurt anybody and certainly not hurt the person you love the most.

The way we've been projected in the past week has been contrary to what Bipasha and I stand for. However, we don't need to clear the air about our feelings to anyone. What we do wish to tell people is that we need space for our relationship. What we share means a lot to both of us. We'd appreciate it if people don't try to break down our relationship from the outside.

Q: Is Bipasha hurt about something?
A: Look, every relationship has some problems. I don't deny we had a bit of a problem, but in this case the problems weren't so massive as to be written about as the end of our relationship.

Every intimate relationship has a fair share of ups and downs. Why pull us up for it? I think some people took undue advantage of the fact that we had a bit of a routine problem. Bipasha and I both want to say ... please respect our relationship.

Q: Easier said than done, don't you think?
A: We both are very simple people and when our morals are questioned, we feel we're being slapped around for nothing. There has always been gossip about our relationships with our respective co-stars, mine far more than hers, but this time the talks went overboard.

Q: But according to your well-wishers, Bipasha has split from you?
A: Well, I'm speaking on her behalf. And I'm saying we're together.

Q: So who's Sheetal Menon?
A: Sheetal Menon is someone I did an advertisement with. That's all I know of her. I've never been in touch with her since then. I don't want to give this any more importance. Look, I've been linked with every single heroine from my second film onwards.

Sheetal Menon is just one in the long line of link-ups. People will take advantage of these imagined link-ups and try to break my relationship with the woman I love. Yesterday it was Vidya Balan, today it's Sheetal Menon. Tomorrow it'll be someone else.

Q: But this lady seems to have upset Bipasha more than your other link-ups?
A: Bipasha is too clear-headed to believe in all this. I'm very fair and transparent to Bipasha ... That could be because I hardly wear anything (laughs).

Q: You seem to have a growing population of well wishers in Mumbai.
A: (laughs) I know what you mean. I'm aware of that. You tell me why I've so many 'well wishers'. I never did anything to earn this. I've gone out of my way to create good vibes around me. I'm here to do my work and carry on with my life.

What can I do if I still manage to instigate people? I'm here to do my job. I don't complicate anybody's life. I expect people not to complicate mine. I'm shocked that something so untoward could be done to our relationship.

Q: What practical steps are you taking to win back Bipasha?
A: Like I said, everything is fine between us. She's coming to join me in Pondicherry where I'm shooting now. In fact, I'm staying at a hotel of her choice. If you remember, we shot our first film 'Jism' in Pondicherry and now she joins me here. It'd be just like old times.

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.

Can John live without Bipasha

Can the legends be ever separated? The chemistry is right, the sexy outlook matches and above all they are in love. Come July 22, John's Viruddh & Bipasha's No Entry will clash at the box office. But the saga does not end there. Starting from Jism to now the two are unparalleled in Bollywood passion chemistry. When an Internet survey was asked what would they like to see if all possibilities were open, the overwhelming majority said passion and loving between John and Bips.

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.”

Avoid John, Salman to Katrina

We thought that they had patched up but after watching John talking about Salman at Koffee with Karan the truce between the Bollywood hunks seems like a distant dream

At the show John stated, “If you ask me today also what the problem is between us, honestly, I don’t know, but it’s unfortunate that there is a problem.. And if things get okay it will be nice.”

Neither John nor Salman have spoken openly about the reasons behind their silent war but members of the ‘Rockstar’ team say, “There was definitely a problem between the two on this show and a lot of it was in Salman’s head. You see, Salman had appointed himself the unofficial rock star of the concerts.

But John kept getting as much frenzied applaud on stage as Salman did, if not more. This hurt Salman’s ego. Also the fact that John kept to his own space, hung around with his best friend whom he had taken along on the tour, instead of joining Salman’s coterie, really hurt Salman. He’s basically like a child who wants and needs constant attention.”

He made his dislike for John even more evident, when he recently blamed the second half of Baabul as responsible for the film’s bad performance at the box-office. Incidentally, Salman is present only in the first half of the film and the second half revolves around John. And when asked if he had stopped talking to John, he retorted, “But when did we start talking?”

Salman also seems to be having second thoughts about doing Rituparno Ghosh’s remake of the 1962 classic Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam for which Ghosh has finalised Salman, John and Priyanka Chopra.

Taking the rivalry a step further, Salman has reportedly instructed girlfriend Katrina Kaif not to work opposite John in any film. Kaif, caught between her beau and her career, had to apparently turn down two films opposite John. Katrina had to let go of the UTV produced film Rockstar and the T.Series produced film Chandramukhi.

Not only this, Salman even included John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu in the enmity. Salman snubbed old friend Bipasha when she greeted him at the GIFA awards in Malaysia. According to sources “Bipasha is irritated with Salman’s childish attitude and has decided not to give a damn either.”

But commendable is the fact that John is still trying to make things fall in place. Perhaps because the last thing he prefers is to get into controversies.

On ‘Koffee with Karan’, John tried to clear his stand, “I think I used to say hello... but he is kind of upset with me... He is a senior...so I don’t get into the way of things... it’s important that I understand that I have come here to work. I have not come here to make enemies. I don’t want to get into the middle of any controversies.”

It was interesting to see the modest John biting his tongue, when one of his fans said that he is the only actor who makes them forget the ultimate macho Salman Khan.

But he tried his best to appease Salman by grading Khan’s physique better than his, in the rapid fire round later. And when Karan asked him which actor comes to his mind when he hears the tagline ‘Just Do It!’ John mischievously replied “Salman Khan”. We hope Salman is listening.
