Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu were once among Bollywood’s most talked-about couples, but their relationship came to an end while they were filming the 2002 horror-thriller ‘Raaz’. In a recent interview, Dino candidly shared that he was the one who decided to part ways, a decision that Bipasha struggled to cope with at the time. Their breakup was made even more complicated by the fact that they had to see each other daily on set, working through emotionally charged scenes while dealing with personal heartbreak. 

Dino Morea on ending the relationship with Bipasha

During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Dino admitted, “To be honest, it was me who was breaking up with her because we had some issues. She found it very tough, and I saw her every day on set, and she was upset. It was very tough at that point for me to see someone I really cared about, but we had already chosen different paths. Humne already alag alag raasta chun liya tha. Humne koshish bhi ki to fix it par wo fix nahi ho ra tha. And I moved on (We had already chosen different paths, and though we tried to work things out, it just wasn't happening. Eventually, I moved on).” 

Dino Morea on working together post-breakup

Reflecting on the challenges of working together post-breakup, he added, “It was a tough moment because jinke saath aap ne kuch saalo samay bitaya aab aap alag ho rahe ho. And uss dauran hum saath mein kaam bhi kar rahe (It was a challenging time; parting ways with someone you've spent years with while still working together made it even harder)." 

Dino Morea and Bipasha became good friends

Dino also shared how, over time, they became good friends. "We became the best of friends after that. That moment is very tough; it's like anger, emotions, rage, but time will make you understand that it was a moment. I really enjoy that person and she enjoys me so let's be friends at least," he concluded. 

Dino also attended Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover's wedding reception in Mumbai.

How their breakup affected Raaz 

Director Vikram Bhatt had previously shared how the couple’s deteriorating relationship impacted the film’s production.  

Bhatt told Indian Express, “I remember a tragicomic situation where we were shooting for their wedding song, ‘Main Agar Saamne.’ There’s this line in the song—‘Apni shaadi ke din ab nahi door hain’—and it was during this scene that they were both fighting. I remember Bipasha crying and Dino being unhappy.”
