John Abraham Struggling Days: Bollywood actor and producer John Abraham, who often brings something new to the film industry, recently revealed in an interview that after his first film, people had assumed that his career was over.

Speaking to IANS, John said that he always focuses on building his future and does not look back. This thinking helped him forget his initial failures and move ahead.

John Abraham said this

John Abraham said in the conversation, “You are as good as your last film. So you should always look forward.

He agreed that it is important for the film industry that people know and understand your filmography, but as an artist it is important that you focus on the future.

John further said that an actor should constantly keep improving his filmography as this is what keeps him connected with the audience.

John Abraham said that when people look at his filmography they often say, “You are not a one-dimensional actor.

You have done offbeat films like ‘No Smoking’, comedy like ‘Garam Masala’ and also action films like ‘Force’.

” He said that he has worked in different types of films and that is the most important thing. According to John, an actor should try himself in every genre.

He honestly admits that he is not perfect in everything, but he definitely learns something from every film. He said, “I learn something from every film, every director and move forward with that learning.”

The actor is the owner of an ISL football team named NorthEast United

Actor John Abraham, who was recently seen in ‘The Diplomat’, is active on many fronts. He owns the ISL football team named NorthEast United, is a successful producer and has produced films like ‘Vicky Donor’, ‘Madras Cafe’.

Apart from this, he is also very fond of bikes, which is a different world for him. When asked how he manages all these things and how he handles the success or failure that comes in every field, John said honestly, “When your football team loses, it is difficult, and when your movie fails, it is also difficult.”

The actor further said this

John Abraham said in the conversation, “But that’s life. You have to understand it, and that’s one thing the game teaches – to accept defeat politely.

If your film flops, the first thing you should do is accept it. Even if your football team loses, you should accept and say, ‘Okay, we lost.

No problem. We will rise again, and fight with more strength than before.’” After this he said some things which can boost anyone’s morale.

He said, “I was considered finished after my first film. But I have been here for the last 21 years, and am still working today.

” He further said, “Then who brought me here? By my audience. Critics might have said something, the film industry might have said something, producers or directors might have also said something.

But the people who have always held me are my audiences. They said, ‘No, we will not let you go. We are with you. I am deeply grateful to my audience.”
