It’s been quite a while since actor Bipasha Basu split with long-time boyfriend actor John Abraham and the Bolly beauty admits to having moved on since too. But though the actor seems to have well-adjusted with her single status, the one thing Bipasha is not too fond of, is using the word ‘single’ to describe her relationship status.

“Somehow, people automatically tend to translate the word ‘single’ as ‘looking for love’ and I don’t think that’s the case always. So, I’d rather call it not being in a relationship, than being single,” explains Bipasha.

Bipasha however is quick to add that she’s not averse to falling in love again. “I am not bitter or anything. In fact, I still believe in love. I think it’s beautiful to be in love, but as clichéd as it may sound, I don’t believe in looking for love,” says the actor. “I believe in destiny to a great extent, so I’m sure when something has to happen, it just will,” she adds.

In the meanwhile however, Bips been busy dodging the numerous link-ups with her co-stars, right from Ranbir Kapoor to Rana Dagubatti and even Holly hottie Josh Hartnett. “Well, what can I say, Ranbir, Rana are all very good friends and we got along well while shooting too. I think because of the easy camaraderie we shared, people mistake it for something else altogether,” she says. “I have learnt to take it all in my stride.”

So, who are her faves among the co-stars, she’s worked with already.“Oh well, it’s a tough call to make,” she shares. “Each of them have their distinct style and it’s hard to pick any one. But yes, Abhishek (Bachchan), Neil (Nitin Mukesh)Ranbir and Rana are all I had great fun working with and would love to work with again.”

Elaborating on each, she adds, “With Abhishek, it’s always like catching up with old pals, Ranbir’s a live wire, and Neil’s a sweetheart. It’s fun catching up with Rana too.”

As for the actors she’s keen to be paired up on screen, Bips says that Shah Rukh Khan is her favourite. “He’s a dream to work with and he certainly tops the list,” smiles Bipasha.
