John Abraham and his bond with Bipasha Basu earned reams of newsprint during their eight year old relationship. And lassoed in some more media mileage after the liaison went kaput. Expressly with Basu baring her feelings over it and John maintaining a studied silence. Until now, that is.

Word has it that John has gone ahead and spilled the (split) beans in a telly chat show.

Describing Bipasha as a "strong, caring person" , John is reported to have said that their romantic link did not fructify into matrimony simply because they were both "very headstrong individuals." He's also reportedly gone on to have said that Bipasha, at heart, was "a very homely person", quite contrary to the image painted out by the scribe tribe.

Interestingly, John's parents were on the chat show too and while his dad maintained that he'd be happy to see John settle down with "a girl of his choice", the actor's mother said that he needed a "more homely and caring woman who would understand him," studiously avoiding any mention of Bipasha Basu.

States a close source, "John's mother did not mention Bipasha even once on the show. John went on to say that it wasn't easy to end an eight year relationship, because he still cared for Bipasha. He also said that although men may say that they believe in women's liberation, they are quite chauvinistic at heart. John felt that maintaining a 'no comments' stance was best, because he did not want to trivialise matters or get Bipasha into an embarrassing spot by speaking about their split relationship to the media."
John, as per "close sources" is enjoying his singleton status to the fullest and reportedly been spotted having coffee and dinner with a certain model named Priya.

^ I know, I just read that and was sad all over again. It's true that they are both strong characters and sometimes you need a "give and take" type relationship...but after 8 years you'd think they would have learnt the art of compromising for each other without compromising themselves.

Found it odd that they put so much emphasis on John's mum not mentioning Bips. Trouble in mummyland?

I'm so sad. These two were perfect. ;'(

Yup Anu you got it. She wasn't horrible at any rate ... and since the dance I saw was in solos, it put her in a decently graceful bracket :-)

The video I saw also had Arjun, Mohit and Sanaya doing their antics ... it wasn't the least funny, no clue why AB thought so ... Mohit for the most part was acting girly by khee-khee-kheeing away to glory at what AB was blabbering and Sanaya wasn't interested. AB even went far to hold an imaginary "member" of the MJHT cast and blow a kiss, without naming her *rolls eyes* Hadd hoti hai bachpane ki ... I'm sure that the AB/RP fan girls must be in a state of upheaval hearing this nonsense.

Edit: Believe it or not, for some reason I was sure that JA and Bips are not going to marry. If they had to, they would've - longtime back like Kajol. So I was not surprised when I heard the news of their split. You only stay in a live-in relationship for so long when you are not sure of the outcome. That being said, I like it when the stars act so mature. And I hate it when the media always chooses to blow things out of proportion. At the end of the day, these stars too are human beings with their own insecurities ...

Reading b/w the lines...the gist of what I got was...Bips really did want marriage and he didn't...and that was not something they could manage to compromise on...this is reminding me of Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck's story from "He's just not that into you"...living together for ages and one day the woman starts yearning for marriage.

I think John's mom probably liked Bips and that is why she made the comment about a homely girl too cuz notice earlier in the article, John too mentions that Bips is a homely, traditional girl contrary to her glamorous image.

And the sheer ease with which John has jumped back into the singles dating game just has me😕😕

I've always had more respect for Bips. Yes they were quite perfect together but guess it wasn't meant to be.

Yes, that surprised me too. From what I have read or known about John (albeit from Bips' comments on him) he is supposedly a sensitive, caring, mature guy. You don't go from a 8 year relationship into something else immediately. Obviously, it is a rebound...and maybe its an impulse of being single after so long, but that doesn't sit right with me either.

From what little Bips has said after the breakup, I too feel that she wanted marriage and John didn't. I'm all for not getting married or wanting to get married as long as you talk about it openly and fairly at various times in your relationship. It's not okay to just talk about it at the start of the relationship because people do change their minds. You have to have regular convos about it. Whether they did or not is not something that I know, but it can't have come as a surprise to either of them and the fact that John is so apparently adamant about not getting married (or not marrying her?) was clearly a dealbreaker.

Still, sucks. Of all the Bolly couples, SRK-Gauri and John-Bips have always been the ones I rooted for.

What a cute promo this is ...

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiC0DSEdCvk&feature=feedu[/YOUTUBE]

He: Please agree to meet me at least once. I want to talk to you. Can we meet?
She: Yes, we can meet

He: (relieved) Thank you
She: So tell me, where should we meet?
He: Ummm...

She: Saidham Udipi Restaurant
He: (incredulous muh) Udipi restaurant !!???!!! There is a Cafe Ice, coffee shop at Bandra (West), can we meet there? Can we meet at 1pm? Please be on time. I get annoyed when people are tardy.
She: (speaks to herself) How overbearing ...

Can't see the promo from work so thanks LadyM for the transcription. Looks quite cute 😆 I can well imagine Ram's horrified tone when he says "Udipi?!!!" 😆

Reminds me of Prem's horrified expressions while shrieking "Unclean!" while getting on a bus 😆 😆

Goodmorning.. Anu, Amy, Vasu, LadyM, Reshmi, Mash...

Ohh. the John-Bipasha article. Sad. I liked them as a couple. Though 8 years is long time to decide whether one want to marry the person or not.
