It may be the end of the road for the John Abraham and Bipasha Basu couple

There's buzz about Bipasha Basu and beau John Abraham's current state of affairs.

Though it is not the first time that there is speculation about their relationship hitting a rough patch, what lends credence to the rumours is the fact that the couple has not been spotted together in public for an extremely long time.

While Bips has been maintaining a low profile of late. John Abraham has been only making public appearances for events he endorses.

Signs of boredom

Says a source, "They have known each other for over eight years now. But their differences seem to be increasing over time.

There seems to be signs of boredom and things are heading for a dead end. Buzz doing the B-Town rounds is that the two don't seem interested in each other."

Akele akele

Adds the source, "Bipasha attended Hrithik Roshan's recent birthday bash solo. She was keen that John accompany her but he preferred to skip it.

The duo has also been doing solo endorsements of late while other B-Town couples are being offered joint deals."

Used to this

Bipasha however maintains, "I am used to this now. Both of us have been busy so we have not been seen in public. I was travelling for work and he's been shooting for Vipul Shah's film. All going good!"

But the source adds, "Both have been even busier earlier and have took time out for each other. This is no longer the case."

In the past, there has been speculation about cracks in the John-Bips rishta...

When intimate pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bipasha Basu did the rounds in 2007. The footballer had met Bips at the 'Seven Wonders Of The World' show in Lisbon, Portugal. The actress had claimed that those pictures were taken at an 'opportune' moment.

When B-Town was abuzz with the news that Saif Ali Khan, post his break-up with Rosa Catalono, had shown keen interest in Bips during the shoot of Race. He had also started gymming with her!

When John Abraham was smitten by Vidya Balan, his Salaam-e-Ishq co-star.

During the promotion of their film Goal in Cannes, Bipasha had supposedly commented that she is single.

When there was buzz that Bips was bonding with her Jism co-star Dino Morea again.
