Mumbai: Born to a Catholic family December 17, 1972, Hindi cinema star John Abraham turns 48 years old today.
Although John has not been releasing films as frequently as he once used to, he is also producing films. Adored for his looks and talked about for his love life, on John’s birthday, let us take a look into his personal life.
There was a time when John and Bipasha Basu were the No.1 couple in the Hindi film industry. The two actors fell for each other during the shooting of the 2003 film ‘Jism’. Following the release of the film, the two were often spotted going on dates, parties and celebrating birthdays at each others homes.
The couple dated for nine years and were in a live-in relationship. They were destined to get married but fate had something else planned. But what led to Hindi film’s power couple call it quits?
It is said that Bipasha wanted to settle down while John wasn’t keen on marrying even after nine years of relationship. So, the two stars had to finally walk away from each other.
After breaking up with Bipasha, John married an NRI named Priya Runchal. In an interview many years ago, Bipasha said that she gave her everything in the relationship and went the extra mile for love. She also claimed to have lost out on many films due to the relationship.
“I am to blame for what happened to me. I allowed a lot. Anyone who pulls you down in your life, should not be in your life,” she had said then.
Bipasha is now happily married to TV and cinema actor Karan Singh Grover.
