Dino Morea was a heartthrob in the early 2000s. Apart from his onscreen presence, it was the alleged rivalry with John Abraham that used to be the talk of the town. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan, Dino talked about his equation with the Dhoom actor and mentioned that it was all the public’s perception.
He said, “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 assumed he started dating my girlfriend, so there was a rivalry, media also fueled this. But there has never been any rivalry. We both have been on our own paths. Only yesterday, I texted him, ‘Are we going for a bike ride or a coffee?’ I don’t think we have a rivalry.”
He continued by expressing his happiness over John’s success, highlighting that when they started off, people would have their opinions suggesting that the models couldn’t act and that they managed to prove them wrong. “John has done really well. I take my hat off for that guy; he has conducted himself well,” he added.

In addition to this, he also laid the timeline of events, reflecting on how Bipasha and John’s relationship began. The Raaz actor stated that he broke up a year before John and Bipasha started dating. Thus, there was no point in having a rivalry between the two of them.
“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.
