John Abraham seeing girlfriend before Bipasha Basu break-up?

John Abraham reportedly met Priya Runchal at the gym he attended with former girlfriend Bipasha Basu.

The actor has not married Runchal despite media speculation about family meetings, according to sources.

A separate source told Mumbai Mirror: "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."

They added: "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."

In September, Abraham admitted that his split from Basu after an eight-year relationship had made him more mature.
