Career changes, on-set conflicts, and personal issues shaped Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea’s split during the Raaz (2002) production. Beginning in 1996, their relationship suffered as Bipasha’s popularity grew following Ajnée and Dino battled career disappointments. Director Vikram Bhatt remembered their arguments during filming, and Dino subsequently said in a 2025 Pinkvilla interview that he started the separation because of personal problems. Public criticism and different social circles further muddle issues. Their split ultimately mirrored the demands of juggling personal and professional life in Bollywood’s rigorous entertainment business.
