5 things John Abraham said about wife Priya, kids, that make us love him more
He is hot. He is sexy. He's intelligent. And he knows it. He is very up-front about the fact that the only time he wants to be in the news is when he is promoting his film. And he doesn't attend Bollywood award shows as he calls them "a circus only meant for jokers". Actor John Abraham's fundas about his work and personal life are crystal clear.
His wedding to Priya Runchal was also a quiet affair. The world got to know about it only when he added the suffix to her name on social media, calling her Priya Abraham on Twitter.
While not one to open up about his personal life, the actor was quite candid in a recent interview with a leading daily. Check out what the industry's Rocky Handsome has to say:
On wife Priya Runchal:
She is such a nice person. Let's assume that she was not my partner... I'd still say that about her. She is like any girl out there who would want to sit in a rickshaw and go somewhere. She wants to guard that space. So she wants to stay away from the celebrity.
On how Priya is helping him achieve his dream:
She is a very important part of it. She is actually helping restructure everything at JA Entertainment and JA football, all my endorsements are handled by her office people. Everything is done in this office and we are a very self-sustaining unit. So she is a big value addition to my life and my company.
On having a child:
The fair answer is: I really haven't thought about children. I do believe that we are a very populated country and a populated world... We have a lot of homeless children and I believe that we need to give them homes first. That's the only way I would really like to put it. And I am speaking in all honesty. I see the stress that parents go through, and it's not a joke.
On parenthood:
Earlier, we used to say that motherhood is heroism. Today, you say getting a child into a school is heroism. The whole concept of being a parent has changed. Earlier, we used to have children because the concept of procreation was that the children will take care of you when they grow up. Today, that absolutely doesn't exist. If you want the joy of having a child, then know that he or she will be there till the age of 16. Please do so, because after that, you are on your own. But it's a personal choice. In my case, I haven't thought about children. I just think that and I say this for all the people who are going to read this, that as much as we all want to have children, I think adoption should also be a very important option.
On media's intrusion in personal life:
Actors here don't really understand this. When you get out of our country and see the paparazzi outside, you realise that our media isn't really intrusive. They are really humane and they have been absolutely fair. So, saying 'no comments' would not be a fair statement to make when asked about my private life because if you are an actor and a celebrity, then you owe that to your fans.
