John Abraham and Bipasha Basu's troubled relationship throws up the question whether the single working female in Bollywood has the time (and the energy) to invest in relationships, given the frenzied work ethic of the industry.
The normal time afforded to women to nurse a relationship that is smarting, is not available to women who work 14-hour shifts six and even seven days a week.
We spoke to three actresses who were single, and three who have been in long partnerships, and asked them what the problems of finding and keeping love in Bollywood were.
Negar Khan, single: I will make the time
Well, I think everything requires time and effort so a person from the industry should only get into a relationship when they know how to balance their personal life and their private life. If you're
serious about the person the schedules and odd timings don't matter because you will remove time for that person. Though I'm single now, I was in a relationship a few years ago and I didn't find it difficult. I'm looking out for a guy with a pure heart who does not lie to himself. It's only when you can be true to yourself that you can be true to a relationship. I want someone who can be more of a friend to me than a boyfriend. As long as he can win my heart nothing else matters
