His relationship with Bipasha Basu may be a thing of the past, but Milind Soman is obviously still quite fond of her, as was amply evident at the New Delhi press meet to promote his film, 16 December.

When the questions veered towards his private life, Milind remained cool. "I know you are going to ask me about Bipasha," he winked. He did not seem to mind. While touching upon the achievements of models turned actors, he went into raptures talking of Bipasha. "She has made it on her own steam because she always had it in her." Old flames are hard to give up on. Does her recent success have anything to do with Milind`s rekindled interest in Bips?

Just one question, Milind. While you mentioned Sushmita, Aishwarya, Sanjay Suri, Juhi Chawla, Bipasha and others in the same breath, why was poor Dino Morea left out?
