Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

The Bipasha-John breakup rumors were further fueled when John Abraham shot for a shampoo add (a product they both were endorsing) alone. Till now all the advertisements featured both John and Bipasha together and industry insiders wondered if Bipasha absence means its finally over. However Basu denies this and was heard saying:

"People can say what they like. They do that anyway, no matter what explanations we give. John and I are not answerable to anyone. When we signed the contract for the shampoo we didn't even know we'd be doing any of their ads together."

“My association with that brand of shampoo continues. At this point of time John and I are advertising different brands of shampoo. So the question of me being replaced in the new ad doesn't arise. People can continue to speculate as much as they like. It doesn't bother me."

"Precious news space shouldn't be wasted on such trivia. There's so much more worth writing about. From now I won't discuss my private life in print."
