MUMBAI: Actor John Abraham, who joins Water director Deepa Mehta at the Oscars night in Los Angeles on February 26, will surely miss girlfriend Bipasha Basu while walking down the Hollywood red carpet.

“Bipasha won’t walk the red carpet with me on Oscar night,” rues John.

Much as John would like Bipasha by his side, she won’t be able to accompany him for the grand Oscar moment due to hectic shooting schedules.

“Bipasha is shooting in South Africa. I think the producer, director and cast of Water are required to be there for the Oscar night. So here I am with Seema Biswas, Lisa Ray and the rest of the crew. Lucky Deepa. Her soul mate is also the film’s producer.”

Though John is all excited to be at the Oscars, his wardrobe remains somewhat undecided. “There’re parties, get-togethers and screenings arranged by our international producers Fox-Searchlight. I’m so worried because now I’ll have to organise a lot of clothes. I’ll wear clothes for sure. I won’t go bare-bodied, though the dhoti look might be liked after Water,” John remarked mischievously.

The good-looking actor will be dressed up by Narendra Kumar and Rocky S for mega event.

“There are two main functions — the Oscar ceremony and the governor’s ball, which will be hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger. For one I’ll wear Narendra’s outfit and for the other I’ll wear Rocky S. One outfit will be Indian — a black achkan and the other will be Western — a white slick, lean, slim-fitting suit. Both will be very contemporary in look.”

And what if Water gets the Oscar?

“I’m not even thinking about it.”
