Recently, Dino Morea discussed a contentious photo shoot that generated a lot of buzz. Regarding the matter, he acknowledged that he didn’t comprehend what led people to have objections towards the advertisement; it turned out to be a hot topic back then. Yet, he also highlighted that the campaign was among the most daring and fashionable during its time. In his words, “Perhaps, there was a warrant for his arrest, Basu.

In an interview with TopMob, Dino Morea casually mentioned, “I can’t figure out who was trimming the underwear. Really, what’s the fuss? You understand, right? The situation turned quite scandalous. However, during that period, it was one of the most provocative ads. Bipasha Basu and I—the images of us together were electrifying! It was excellent. We enjoyed ourselves while it lasted, and then it vanished.

Additionally, Morea mentioned another occurrence. Back in 1995, Milind Soman participated in a photoshoot without clothing, causing quite an uproar. This event took place prior to mine. Subsequently, when my advertisement was released, it caused controversy as well, and surprisingly, this turned out to be excellent publicity. To clarify, there was indeed a controversy, and honestly, I must admit that I was somewhat apprehensive since it was the first time such an incident had occurred with me.

He reminisced, “Newspapers indicating potential police involvement—bits and pieces. I exclaimed, ‘What’s going on here, mate?’ We were touching down in Dubai, and I was engrossed in reading the newspaper aboard the flight. There seemed to be a fleeting reference that possibly an arrest warrant had been issued for Bipasha and me. As we descended, I pondered, ‘Will we make it to the airport at all? What awaits us?’ Consequently, we were somewhat apprehensive. However, in the end, nothing of consequence transpired.

Alternatively, the actor reflected back on the period when he and Bipasha split during the making of Raaz, sharing that she struggled to adjust to the new circumstances on set. He remembered the steps they took to overcome the initial unease after their separation, eventually developing a strong friendship.

Despite their efforts to repair their relationship, it ultimately didn’t succeed. But Dino mentioned that over time, any lingering resentment disappeared. He noted that breakups often stir feelings such as anger and sorrow, but as time passes, things seem less intense. Eventually, they both understood that the strength of their connection remained, transforming them into close friends.
