John’s closeness with co-stars and models is reason behind the split villa with Bipasha Basu!

John Abraham and Bipasha split villa after a decade of being in a relationship.

The actual split happened mid-February but they determined to keep it away from the media.

The timing is ideal. Bipasha has moved on and is busy shooting her Hollywood crossover movie Singularity and also Abbas Mustan’s Players. She felt it was important for everyone to know after reports of her link up with Josh Hartnett started surfacing. Friends disclose that she had given John the permission to talk about it if he wanted. “It was very clear when John walked in solo on the sets of Koffee with Karan that they were done, says the source. But he decided to keep shut, only opening up to few of his close friends. With Bipasha getting close to Josh after his latest break up with his girlfriend Sophia Lie, it was the right time for her to come out in the open.

Close friends verify that there was not one but several reasons for the imminent split.

The biggest reason is being John’s incapability to commit to settling down. A friend on basis of anonymity spills the beans, “10 years is not a short time. Other couples would have settled down ages ago, but they apparently wanted to focus on their careers and make money. But over the last two years Bipasha was getting increasingly disturbed with his attitude towards their relationship. He had started taking her for granted and it really hurt her.”

Secondly, Bips was always insecure of John and whenever she would go on outdoors she would get to hear of his growing closeness with either his co-stars (Katrina during New York, Vidya during Salam-e-Ishq) or up coming models. She had grown tired of turning a deaf ear to these whispers.

However, the biggest blow came when John heard that Bipasha was trying to make her way into Salman’s camp and sending him feelers. “He was hurt that she was trying hard to get a film with Salman. Despite public declaration from John-Salman that they are no longer enemies, the fact remains that they still despise each other. When he confronted Bips she denied and that got him more upset. They would keep having loud verbal arguments with things being thrown around. Friends would try to intervene but to no avail.”

Sources verify that the two have separated for good. Bipasha is already more than just friends with Josh and John is formally back to enjoying his single hood status.
