Did you know John Abraham once wanted to marry Riya Sen, but she refused? Read details

Long ago, Bollywood's handsome hunk John Abraham was madly in love with Bengali actress Riya Sen.

John Abraham and Bipasha Basu's love story is known to all because they were one of the most loved and good looking B-town couples. Their break up after 9 long years of dating made headlines and fans were in shock. 

Years later, both John and Bipasha marry their respective partners Priya Runchal, a banker and TV actor Karan Singh Grover.

But do you know, before Bipasha, John was in love with Moon Moom Sen's daughter Riya Sen? According to reports, John and Riya met during the late 90s. 

Riya was about to make her Bollywood debut with Style, while John was not a popular face in the film industry. He was struggling for work and was only modelling. 

It was said that John and Riya hit it off immediately and started dating. John was so much in love that he desired to settle down with the Bengali actress.

However, Riya turned down his proposal as she wanted to make it big in the entertainment industry, and marriage was not in her mind. Later they broke up, and slowly John's career got boosted.

John made his debut with Paap in 2003 and went on work in hit films like Jism, Dhoom, Dostana and others. On the other hand, Riya was a part of several flop Bollywood films and worked in Bengali cinema.

Cut to the present; John is happy in his personal and professional life; he praised Priya (Wife) for bringing a lot of maturity to the relationship, a lot of sanity and stability. And Riya got married to her long-time boyfriend Shivam Tewari, a photography enthusiast in 2017.
