There's no possible way I'd be able to become fluent learning both at the same time.

ETA: On another note (because I don't want to make another post) I can bet you the majority of the people here who are saying they can speak 3+ languages are not fluent but words and phrases here and there. Being able to say "thank you", "good morning", "hello", "cute" and such does not mean you could count that as a language you speak.

I agree with you on this.
If you can't use both the languages, the learning takes much longer..yeah. And it's useless to learn two or more at the same time.

Really says who? It just comes down to your own commitment. What are you basing your statement on?
