Dino Morea is aware that his new found celebrity status is being laughed out of court by most of his colleagues. His film the Vikram Bhatt directed Raaz has been declared the second biggest hit of the year so far. So does he hold any grudge against them?

On the contrary, this actor, who has been compared to Spanish actor Antonio Bandras in looks, is in a forgiving mood. "It hurts when your performance is ripped apart although the nation has appreciated your performance," he whines. In the same breath, he continues, "Anyway, I couldn`t care less. I`m a very ambitious person and my career is my topmost priority today. I want to give it my best." It must be wonderful to turn ambitious and give acting your best now that you have more than a dozen films on the floors?

You do have a point, Dino. The nation has given the film Raaz a thumbs up. And why shouldn`t you make the most of your triumph? But do you wish to know the truth? The reason for its remarkable success has been your ex girlfriend, Bipasha Basu and her natural performance in the film that people have thronged to the theatres for, over and over again.Sad, but true, Morea!
