In Bootsrap modal popup, You can use plain way to show modal which don't need pre-defined modal div container . see at modal

For Eg

 $.ajax({
                url: "url",
                type: 'POST',
                dataType: "html",
                data:{id:params},
                success: function(data, status, xhr) {
                    if(data==""){
                        window.location.href="/";
                    }
                    else{
                        BootstrapDialog.show({
                            title: "Modal Tital",
                            message: function(dialogRef){
                                $mydata = $($.parseHTML(data));
                                return $mydata;
                            },
                            onshow: function(dialog){

                        // and css change if need, eg. 
                         dialog.$modalHeader.css("float","none");

                            },
                            onshown:function(dialog)
                            {
                               // event after shown

                            },
                            onhide:function(dailog)
                            {
                               // event on hide
                            }
                        });
                    }

                },
                statusCode: {
                    401: function () {
                        alert("Your session has been expired");

                    }
                }
            });

I solved this problem by creating modal and by removing data-toggle and data-target and just appending response to that modal div

Code For modal div

<div id="login_for_review" class="modal hide"  role="dialog">

</div>

Code For hyperlink

 <a th:if="${ratingSummary}" href="#"  class="small dark account review_ratings_login">Login to write a review</a>

Code For ajax call

$(document).on('click', '.review_ratings_login', function () {
        var $data = $('#review_product_id span').text();
         var url = '/mycompany/login/'+$data;
        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: url,
            success: function (output) {
            $('#login_for_review').html(output).modal('show');//now its working
            },
            error: function(output){
            alert("fail");
            }
        });
    });
