Katrina-John not a hot item, says Bips

The grapevine is abuzz with rumors that Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif, who reportedly broke up with Bollywood hunk Salman Khan earlier this week, is the new love interest of John Abraham (of Dhoom fame).However, John's current girlfriend Bipasha Basu has cleared the air, saying "No Way!"

In the past, John has been romantically linked up with Mallika Sherawat (when the two did a world tour), Lara Dutta (Elaan) and Vidya Balan (Salaam-e-Ishq) but the ravishing Bips has dismissed the John-Katrina link-up as figment of the media's imagination.

"John and I have gone through enough of such gossip. I don't want to give any credibility to this by even commenting on it. It is malicious and absolutely the most bizarre story involving us. Just for the knowledge of people who actually love us together, we are very happy being with each other, and we're responsible and protective about our relationship," the Bong bombshell told The Times of India.

According to a Bollywood source, John and Katrina have being romantically linked up due to their close proximity during the promotion of their movie New York and they were spotted exchanges SMSs. Besides John and Salman are known for sharing cold vibes for quite some time.

"This is bizarre. John was shocked to read stories of his 'latest flame.' He is absolutely happy with Bips and they both had a good laugh over the latest rumor," the source said. Perhaps true. But can the media be blamed since all the Bollywood hotties find John so attractive?
