Bollywood actors John Abraham and Dino Morea were supposed as ‘it boys’ back in the 2000s. The B-Town hunks rose to fame with several hit films, such as Raaz and Jism. The duo also worked with Bipasha Basu in several films. Naturally, there were rumours regarding the rift between the actors once Bipasha moved on with John Abraham after dating Dino for a few months: however, the male star Dino has debunked all the suppositions lately.
When Dino was asked about the supposed rivalry during an interview session, he said that there was absolutely no rivalry between them. “Never [any rivalry]. We used to model together, have fun together, and talk. People assumed there was rivalry when I broke up with Bipasha and he started dating Bipasha. People assumed that he started dating my girlfriend, so there was a rivalry. Media fuelled it and it was fun to read for people. But there has never been any rivalry.”
Dino added, “We have always been on our own paths. In fact, just yesterday, I was messaging him, ‘Are we going for a bike ride or are we having coffee?’ I have no rivalry with him and I don’t think he has any rivalry with me. I am very happy to see where he is today. At that time people always said ‘models cannot act’ and we proved otherwise. The film became a hit and we were part of it. When people ask me about John, I keep saying, ‘He has done really well.’ I take my hat off to the guy. He has conducted himself fantastic.”
Further, the actor added that he only felt bad after John was offered ‘Dhoom’. However, he added, “It [the film] was cast really well. He did a fantastic job. But he did really well in the film.”
“We both impacted each other really well. We supported each other in the modeling industry. We were on the verge of breakupâ€æwe were nearly, more or less, over by the time we were shooting for ‘Raaz’.” He added that shooting for ‘Gunaah’ “was the toughest time” for both actors because they were breaking up. “It was really tough. It was damn tough. We just moved in separate directions. But now we are fantastic friends.”
