People are spreading false rumours about John-Bipasha: close friend

John Abraham feels vested interests are deliberately trying to create a rift between him and Bipasha Basu and has made it known he wont "lose Bipasha at any cost".

The actor, who's currently shooting in Pondicherry for Nagesh Kukunoor's "Aashayen", was unaware of the widespread speculation about the "serious rift" with Bipasha that's blowing across Mumbai ... until very recently.

"That's when it dawned on him that someone or some people are definitely trying to create problems between him and Bipasha," a close friend of John, who did not wish to be identified, told IANS on the star's behalf.

"He's now seriously worried because Bipasha is the finest woman he has ever met. Forget about leaving her, John wouldn't do anything to hurt her."

Reacting angrily to the link-up stories, John's friend says: "Vidya Balan and then Sheetal Menon ... please! John hardly knows this Sheetal woman. They've barely met. The last thing John wants is to endanger his relationship with Bipasha .... Who's spreading these ugly rumours?"

According to John's friend, the efforts to harm his relationship with Bipasha are deliberate.

"Somebody or some people are spreading these rumours for their own gains. And it's so easy to see who's been calling up the media left, right and centre to plant stories about Bipasha moving away from John and drifting into another relationship," the friend said.

"John hasn't made one attempt to have his say. So far he believes his love for Bipasha, and vice versa, is strong enough to withstand these vicious attacks on their relationship. But he won't keep quiet for too long."

The actor is supposed to be joined by Bipasha in Pondicherry shortly.

"If these rumours have influenced Bipasha in any way, then John will fly back from his shooting to make sure nothing and no one comes between him and his love. He won't lose Bipasha at any cost," the friend told IANS with some confidence.
