I don't feel the need to clarify

John Abraham is a very busy man indeed. He's been in and out of Mumbai for the last six months shooting for three films back to back. But the actor took time out for Pepsi and Shah Rukh Khan during a promotional event in the city.

We caught up with the busy star and quizzed him about sharing screen space with King Khan, films and his 'off the limit' personal life. Excerpts:

What's the status on No Smoking?

No Smoking is complete and I am absolutely thrilled about it. It's a bizarre yet brilliant film directed by Anurag Kashyap, who is simply fabulous.

To put in one sentence, No Smoking shows how smoking affects a person's health and personal life. The film has already impressed international film festivals.

Where will No Smoking be seen?

The film will be screened at the Rome International film festival first. It's a very prestigious one where only 12 films make it to the competition section. I'm going with Anurag to Rome for this.

What do you have to say about your alleged break up with Bipasha Basu?

I prefer to maintain my silence on this. I think there's a lot of dignity in silence, so I won't react to such gossip.

Why not just say where the two of you stand?

I don't feel the need to clarify about us. What's personal should remain personal.

That means the name Bipasha is off limits?

(Smiles) Yes, Bipasha is off limits
