Bipasha Basu was one of the actors who was practically acing Bollywood in the 2000s. The actress made her debut in the 2001 film Ajnabee starring Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol, and she went on to do quite well for herself in the years that followed.
She received critical and fan acclaim for her performance in the 2003 film Jism, in which she co-starred with her then-boyfriend John Abraham. These films, coupled with the iconic horror picture Raaz, solidified her position as a prominent actress in the profession. During her prime years, though, one incident that rattled the internet was her supposed kiss with Manchester United star player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now, for anyone who is familiar with football, or perhaps is not, Cristiano is one of the world’s all-time greatest footballers. The event involving Bipasha and Cristiano occurred in 2007 when Cristiano had already established himself as one of the most fascinating celebrities, with females swooning over him.
As it turned out, Cristiano’s charm seems to have worked on Bipasha as well. According to reports, the two had attended an event together and were subsequently seen casually hanging out at a party. However, it was the aftermath of that that seemed to have broken the internet and astonished so many people.
According to reports, the two celebrities got ‘physical’ while partying at a bar in Lisbon, Portugal. Later, Bipasha would talk about meeting Cristiano and how they each thought the other was cute.
“It was a dream come true to meet him. We went partying after the event, which was just great. He’s so adorable, and it was odd when he called me adorable… He is now a buddy, and he has vowed to invite me to all of his matches,” Bipasha explained. This, however, was not the case. Bipasha was dating John at the time, and it was stated that he was not pleased with the occurrence.
