MUMBAI : At last, Dino Morea has discussed his "rivalry" with John Abraham. The actor revealed in a recent interview that news of his falling out with John first surfaced after his split up with Bipasha Basu, who went on to date the Pathaan star.
“We never had any rivalry. We used to talk to each other and have fun with each other. The talk about the rivalry between us started in people’s minds after I broke up with Bipasha and he started dating Bipasha. People started thinking that he was dating my girlfriend, so there was a rivalry, media also fueled this,” Dino told Siddharth Kannan.

The actor clarified that there has “never been any rivalry” between him and John. He revealed that they often text each other and praised John by saying, “I am happy to see where he is today. Because at that point when we were starting out people used to say models can’t act and we proved them wrong. John has done really well. I take my hat off for that guy, he has conducted himself well.”
A year after she broke up with him, Bipasha began dating John, Dino stated. The actor also disclosed that, at that point, he was seeing someone else. “I am clarifying it after years. Me and Bipasha broke up and almost one year after that they started dating, and I had started dating somebody else. So, why would there be any animosity? People thought that John took my girlfriend but it was nothing like that. The three of us used to talk but people made it into something else,” he said.
Dino Morea and Bipasha fell in love after meeting through a mutual friend. They began dating in 1996, but they broke up when Raaz, their 2002 film, was being filmed. Recalling their breakup, Dino stated, “She came from Calcutta, I came from Bangalore. We were introduced by a common friend, she set up a blind date. I just heard that some supermodel is coming and I was also a supermodel. We went on a blind date, it was weird but we started dating soon after that. It was great because we both were starting.”
“When we were working on Raaz, we were more or less over in terms of relationship. It was very difficult. But after Raaz when we did Gunaah that was the toughest time because we were breaking up, it was over,” he added.
