John Abraham

Actor/Model

Modeling, Acting.

Sagittarius

I got into modelling after I completed my MBA. I became a media planner. One day, my media director suggested I should take up modelling. I decided to give it a try.
He told me about a modelling competition. I picked up a crumpled magazine for the details and filled out the form. And I won it -- I became the Gladrags Supermodel of the year!
I went abroad on modelling assignments. But I felt that people in India must know who John Abraham is. So I came back and started modelling here. I also did a couple of music videos. One of them, Chupke chupke, brought me a lot of film offers. At the time, I was not sure about acting. So I decided to establish myself as a model and get into acting when I'm ready. I'm ready now!
At the end of the day, I believe talent and hard work always pay. People say male models can't act. But luckily for me, there is Arjun [Rampal] and Dino [Morea] who have done very well.
I am not here to challenge that theory though. I enjoy acting. I have no inhibitions as an actor. Modelling and acting are completely different. I'm learning and growing as an actor every day. --------- John Abraham is a crowd-puller, a fact evident from the Gladrags Manhunt Contest, which he won in 1999. Today, he is on the sets of Mukesh Bhatt's new film with London lass Katrina Kaif. Sporting a beige shirt, blue jeans and a stubble, John, whose mother is Parsi, father Malayali.

I want to meet all my fans!
