<\/p>\nJohn Abraham talks about tough acting phase<\/p><\/div>\n
John Abraham opened up about his Bollywood journey, explaining the difficulties of being someone from outside the industry.<\/p>\n
During his latest candid chat, the 53-year-old actor said, “I have probably been criticised the most in this industry, from the time I started. When I came in 2003, there were no outsiders.” <\/p>\n
Speaking at the SCREEN Masterclass<\/i>, he stated, “Before that, only Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar [entered the film industry]. The amount of criticism I have gone through, nobody else has faced that in my time. For me, it was simple. I was like a horse with blinkers. I could only see in front, and didn\u2019t expect.” <\/p>\n
He continued, “I have never had a publicist. I don\u2019t go out there to feed stories in the media; it could make me vulnerable as well, but I think people know my integrity and where I come from.”<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he shared insights about his work choices, revealing that he is on the lookout for a good comedy script and expressed willingness to join the cast of No Smoking 2 <\/i>if the sequel ever happens.<\/p>\n
Notably, John was last seen in Tehran<\/i>, playing special officer Rajeev Kumar, who tries to take revenge after the 2012 Delhi bombing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
