Celebrity dating life is the highlight of Entertainment news. Their relationships often become the talk of the town, with some couples receiving more love than others. One such couple was that of the Bollywood hunk John Abraham and the Jism diva Bipasha Basu. Not only were they a star couple in the heyday of their relationship, but they also worked in many films together. From meeting on the sets of Jism, they continued to work together on multiple movies.
They were a fiery on-screen couple, and their off-screen chemistry was no different. The couple shared common interests and similar work cultures, and on top of that, they both were actors who were seen as sex symbols in the industry. They worked together, were seen together publicly on multiple occasions, and talked about each other in interviews.
Their PDA was caught on camera several times, making their fans swoon at the affection they shared. They ended up cohabiting as the relationship progressed at a good pace. Every big step that comes with a relationship seems to have been mastered by the two. Bipasha and John shared 9 good years before they broke up; it was no common fling. So what went wrong?

Why Did John Abraham and Bipasha Basu Break Up?
Multiple reasons are cited for the split of the couple. There seems to be little agreement over what is the exact reason for their breakup. They first met on the set of the Pooja Bhatt-directed movie Jism (2003). They seemed to have chemistry right from the first moment they met. Love was in the air, and they shared work hours. Soon, they were headed for more. Jism (2003) would not be the last film that they worked on together, and they would share the screen again in movies like Madhosi (2004) and Aetbaar (2004), to name a few.
All sorts of speculations were made about why John and Bipasha broke up. It would not be wrong to assume that perhaps there were multiple reasons underlying the shocking split. In an interview, Bipasha talked about how the breakup was not amicable and was rather distressful for both. John’s story was, however, different; he spoke about how they dealt with their feelings maturely and that their split was mutually agreeable. The difference in the story has since not been resolved. It seems that they both saw the situation of their breakup very differently than the other.

Some reports suggest that after a while, they both realized that they wanted very different things at the time. While John struggled with commitment and figuring out what he wanted out of their relationship, Bipasha seemed eager to get married. Her other half was not on board with the idea, which could have resulted in a rift. Other reports suggested how they shared a disagreement over Bipasha wanting to work with Salman Khan, an actor with who John did not have good terms. This is, however, only a speculation none of the involved parties confirmed this claim.
There were also rumors about infidelity on John’s part. It was speculated that John was unfaithful to Bipasha with Priya Runchal. Runchal, now his wife, has been married for approximately ten years. John and Bipasha broke up in the year 2014, the same year John ended up marrying Runchal, whom he had met in 2010. This assumption was based on the little the former couple shared about their split and mostly on the timing of the two relationships. There is no agreement about whether it is a simple coincidence or something more than that. Regardless this was cited as one of the main reasons why John Abraham and Bipasha Basu broke up.

The Conclusion
