Abhishek welcomes his 'sautan'

Everyone knows about Abhishek Bachchan's 'Dostana' with John Abraham, which was pretty much a first for Bollywood. What we've just found out is that in real-life Abhishek's a great pal of John's girlfriend Bipasha, and that they go back a real long way.

Bipasha joined Twitter today (July 4), and Abhishek posted on his page, "The first time i ever sat in front of a camera was with her. Please welcome my sautan bipasha.... fyi John still likes me more! haha"

He added, "To clarify, my first ever screen test was with Bipasha. but that film never got made. She's been a friend since."

Bipasha replied to Abhi, "Thank u for a warm welcome my dear sautan, and the cutest and the naughtiest costar of mine. love and hugs! John likes me the most and u r his only male lover. Ha ha ha!"
