Onlookers at a suburban gym were surprised on Tuesday evening whenactors and former couple John Abraham and Bipasha Basu apparently turned up for their workouts at nearly the same time.

“It was a mere co-incidence that the two came in then. John had come in earlier than his usual time as he was expected to attend a party later in the night. Instead of letting go of his workout, he’d decided to hit the gym earlier than his regular time. We don’t think he was expecting to run into Bipasha there,” said a source. However, another source points out that the two seemed comfortable in each other’s presence. “Why else would they continue coming to a place where they are most likely to run into each other,” the source says.

Apparently the two avoided running into each other this time, but found themselves in a fix when they found out that a posse of photographers was waiting outside a preview theatre, housed in the same building. Probably not wanting to draw attention to them being together there, John decided to distract the cameramen leaving enough time for Bipasha to make a quick exit without being spotted.
