Actor John Abraham is one of the rare stars in the Hindi film industry who leads a very private life. Apart from his movies, not much is known about the actor. He rarely makes public appearances with his wife Priya Runchal, an investment banker. John recently revealed that their decision to maintain privacy is a conscious one, mutually agreed upon by him and Priya. He also spoke about how he has always stayed away from scandals throughout his career.

John Abraham on his private personal life


In an interaction with India Today, John explained why there is rarely any news about him apart from his films. He said, “That is a very conscious decision, because my films have nothing to do with my personal life. In all these years, I have never had a publicist or an agent. I don’t have someone who is manufacturing stuff for me out there. So the minute my films are over, I become not newsworthy and I go into my shell and come out to speak only when I have something relevant to say.” When he is not promoting or working on a film, John invests time in his hobbies and interests, which include his football academy in Shillong.



John on his disciplined life

John and his wife prefer to live a low-profile life despite his profession. He added that they avoid Bollywood parties, something he did even before marriage. “I never went to parties even before I got married. I have always chosen to stay out because the music is too loud and I don’t drink alcohol. I have a problem with alcohol because my father loves his single malt. Also, I sleep very early and wake up at 4–4:30 am. I read as much as I can after waking up and devour world news,” he said.

John Abraham’s work front

The actor is currently gearing up for the release of his much-awaited film Tehran, co-starring Manushi Chhillar. The film is reportedly based on the 2012 attacks on Israeli diplomats in New Delhi. Directed by Arun Gopalan, Tehran will premiere on ZEE5 on August 14.
