John Abraham to tie the knot with New Girl Priya NOT Bipasha!

John Abraham and Priya Runchal

A close friend of the actor says that the two will indeed be tying the knot soon. “Contrary to rumours, the two are not engaged, even though both their families have met each other and approve of them. In fact, they will be announcing the engagement and the marriage dates very soon," says the friend.

Talking about Priya, another source reveals that everyone in John’s family is very fond of her and she has also been spotted at various occasions on family outings.

 "It all began in December 2010 at a gym in Bandra, where John and Bipasha used to work out together. Initially, Priya would only exchange pleasantries with the couple. However, slowly and surely, she started getting close to John. Bipasha didn't see the chemistry brewing between the two. Or maybe, she chose to ignore it," the friend revealed.

"Actually, Bipasha was so much in love with John that she never paid heed to any rumours about him. All she wanted from him was marriage; settling down and starting a family. She had even stopped being ambitious about her career and had been asking him to marry her for the past three years. However every time, he would say baad mein," our source informed.

Indeed their break up in February 2011 happened primarily because she realised John would never marry her. "Usko thoda shaque zaroor hone laga tha," we were told. But surprisingly enough, Bipasha learnt about the John-Priya romance only after she parted ways with John.

Common friends started telling her that John had a new girl in his life, which made her wonder as to how John could move on so quickly in life. Somehow, her 'friendships' with Shahid Kapoor, Rana Dagubatti and Josh Hartnett happened around the same time. The fact that a couple of them didn't last long is quite another story. (toi)
