Bipasha Basu is enraged about rumours that her relationship with John has run into troubled waters.
"What a mad week this has been! This rumour has caught on like wild fire," says Bipasha,a tad tired by her repeated attempts to pacify the media from circulating reports of someone rocking her relationship boat. "But enough is enough. It took me 10 years in the industry to realise that I shouldn't have done so."
Locked in her home while watching the Mumbai rains come pouring down on a Monday afternoon,Bipasha speaks about how she maintains her cool during crisis. "I've handled myself pretty well in the industry. But this time around,the rumours have been maddening.
Even after giving a joint clarification,the media doesn't want to listen to us. Ours is a genuine relationship and the media made it look so dirty. In all these years,they must have broken up our affair 50 times and patched it up as many times. On any other occasion,I would have let these rumours die down. But this time I'm not going to take it lying down," she continues almost in a monologue.
While she pauses for a breath,one wonders whether there could be any hidden agenda behind these rumours. "Honestly,I don't know why people have painted this bechari image of mine. I hate becharis! I have put in a lot of hard work into my films and I don't want to ride on the sympathetic image.
What nonsense is this about me weeping on someone's shoulders on the sets? I would like to know who is spreading these absurd stories. Even if I was going through a turmoil (touch wood,it hasn't happened that way),I would never cry on my co-star's shoulders. There are too many things in this world to be done instead of weeping," she clarifies.
As she continues talking about how two weeks back the media were printing pictures of John and her returning together,one wonders whether her sex symbol image has anything to do with the gossip? "There is a huge difference between the person that I am and the perception people have.
I have consciously never tried to clarify that. I'm a fun loving,simple girl who isn't part of any number game. But men often find me very intimidating. My sex symbol image has helped to form an invisible protective shield about me."
But none of these rumours,she insists,is going to make her weak. "John is a handsome guy and will have female fans. But how can people say he loves female company because of his hunk status? I was telling John the other day that there are people trying to pull him down but this too shall pass.
As for me,I have a very loving man and all this doesn't weaken our relationship. All I'm interested is my work," she signs off before rushing off to wade through the waters to watch a super hero film along with her friends.
