JOHN BIPASHA call it quits and part ways...

A couple that captured our imagination with their impeccable chemistry and candor has sadly parted ways.

This time it's official. Reportedly, John and Bipasha had gotten bored of each other but Mumbai Mirror gives you the true story.

They ended their rocky 10-year-old relationship because of difference of opinions.

"They may still make an appearance together at an event but the fact is that they are no longer a couple," says a source close to the couple.

You wonder what triggered the break-up. "The split was very much impending", claims a close friend of theirs and adds, "Bipasha wanted marriage but John was not ready to be tied down.

They were together for a decade, so the decision came naturally to Bipasha."

People started taking notice because John and Bipasha had stopped making public appearances or going to social functions together.

They would either go separately or deliberately land up at different times, while keeping a track of each other's schedules through common friends.

A friend of John's told Mumbai Mirror, "He is my closest friend and we get along very well. His mind has always been full of Bipasha and it used to be so every time we met.

Lekin abhi aisa nahin hai. He has just stopped talking about her completely." Repeated calls and text messages to John and his spokesperson proved futile.

And when we tried contacting Bipasha, her spokesperson called up to say, "Please don't contact her.

She has denied this on twitter. You should believe what she says. And by the way, she doesn't want to go on record on this in the media."
