Everyone thought they would end up together, but destiny had something else planned for them. But did you know that before the final breakup, the actress’ lip kiss with the famous footballer Ronaldo almost ended their fairytale romance?
The couple, who began dating in 2003 after meeting on the set of Jism was rock steady for a long, long time. Until 2007, when some feathers in their relationship were ruffled. It turns out, Bipasha’s rather infamous outing with a world-renowned footballer caused a bit of trouble and made John furious.

The two appeared on stage and seemed cordial and entertained the crowds. The Portuguese footballer and the actress gelled like a house on fire. They bonded at an after-party, and a British tabloid got their hands on some never before seen pictures.
