Bipasha and John have either Duo status or Ex status?

His much glorified alone appearance on Karan Johar's chat show has set tongues wagging all the more. His relationship with Bipasha Basu has earned its share of spotlight and gossip talkers assert that although their relationship hit a rocky path, a while ago, the duo kept up the farce to keep their "joint brand value" going.

This time around, though, news maker insist that the duo's bond has struck Splits Ville. Even as gossip mounted, Bipasha tweeted away merrily stating that all izz well. John's "no comment" stance, however, puzzled collective psyches, without knowing lending force to the guess.

Seemingly, it's the famous 'M  factor that's causing a rift between the saucy pair…since they've been in a relationship long enough, but its inching nowhere towards matrimony.

A source close to Bipasha tells, "Bipasha is a homely girl at heart and has made it clear to John that when she does consider marriage everything else will take a back seat. As of now, she's not ready to put her career on the back burner. Besides, there have been times when John has not been around for Bipasha and vice versa too, because of their work commitments."

Another insider insists that John and Bipasha are not in clarifying mode to the media, because   they are truly "fed up" of doing so.

By the way, Bipasha is all set to zoom off to Russia to movie Players, while John is busy canning Desi Boyz  in London.
