John and Vidya were last seen together in Nikhil Advani's utterly forgettable Salaam-E-Ishq. They shared great onscreen chemistry, but their off-screen chemistry was more talked about. My birdie had also seen John giving Vidya a ride on one of his fancy bikes at Bandstand!
All this had obviously made Bipasha quite jealous and the couple even had fights over it. Hence, John never signed another film opposite Vidya and vice-versa.
But hoping his girlfriend must've forgotten the Vidya chapter by now, John signed Chenab Gandhi. But Bips being Bips, she has not forgotten the insult.
My birdie informed, "Bipasha has been coaxing John to step out of the project, but he doesn't want to let go of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali project. While the film was scheduled to start in April, it has now been postponed to December 2009 because of this uncertainty. This delay from John has been on purpose because he still hopes Bipasha would cool down. But it doesn't seem so, as the couple has again begun to have arguments over this issue."
Now, now, I can see Vidya Balan smirking over this!
