It was love at first sight with Priya: John Abraham

Dealing with Controversies

"When I came into the industry, they said that John Abraham is a model and models can't act. He is so wooden. Now there are two ways to go about this, one is that you get very angry and say 'How dare they say that!', and the other is that you say 'Theek hai. What is said about me is said about me. I have to work and prove myself and I have to do better.' People have realized over a period of time that I am a no nonsense person and there is no point in taking a panga with me as I am not going to react, so they just let me do my work.

Aditya Chopra once told me 'John you are the smartest because you have chosen all the best films in your career.' When I asked him which films he was talking about, he said those are all your films which have failed like Water, No Smoking, Kabul Express and Zinda. These are films that have not worked but you have made it very clear to your audience that you are willing to take the risk by doing offbeat roles too.

I will do a Housefull 2 and Race 2 but along with that I will also do a No Smoking 2, that is how I like it."

Past Relationships

"I don't speak negative about my past relationships. I don't pay attention to what is written. After a while, it stops affecting you."

Break ups

"For each relationship and each person the breaking point is different. There are some people who can tolerate and hold on forever. Especially women, they can somehow hold on and I really admire that about them.

The problem now days is that we don't spend enough time with our loved ones. How difficult is it to make a relationship work? A girl just wants her man to give her a hug and say 'I love you'."
