John Abraham, a prominent figure in Bollywood, is known for maintaining a low profile, particularly when it comes to social gatherings. In a recent interview, the actor explained his reasons for avoiding Bollywood parties, citing loud music and his abstinence from alcohol as primary factors.
Abraham stated that he has consistently chosen to stay away from Bollywood parties, even before his marriage to Priya Runchal. His decision is influenced by the excessively loud music typically played at these events. More significantly, Abraham doesn't consume alcohol. He clarified that he has no personal objections to alcohol, mentioning his father's fondness for single malt. However, he personally cannot tolerate the smell of alcohol. This makes it difficult for him to communicate and enjoy himself in environments where alcohol is prevalent.
Elaborating on his lifestyle choices, Abraham revealed that he maintains a disciplined routine, typically going to bed by 9:30 PM and waking up between 4:00 and 4:30 AM. He dedicates his early morning hours to reading scripts and staying informed about world news. This early rising habit further contributes to his preference for avoiding late-night parties.
Abraham's disciplined lifestyle extends beyond his avoidance of parties. He is known for his commitment to fitness, asserting that he hasn't missed a gym session in 35 years. He emphasizes that his dedication to fitness isn't driven by narcissistic reasons or the need to maintain a specific physique for film roles. Instead, it's a part of his overall commitment to a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
In addition to his personal preferences, Abraham and his wife, Priya Runchal, have consciously decided to keep their personal lives private. They rarely make public appearances together and prefer to keep their relationship away from the spotlight. Abraham has also mentioned that he has never relied on a publicist or agent to create stories about him in the media. He believes his films should be separate from his personal life and prefers to retreat from the public eye when he doesn't have relevant work-related matters to discuss.
Abraham is selective about the films he chooses, often gravitating towards those with strong social and political themes. He sees film as a medium to convey meaningful messages and stimulate thought. He is willing to take risks and prioritize the honesty and impact of a film over its commercial success. His film "Tehran," premiering on ZEE5 on August 14, 2025, exemplifies this commitment, exploring a gripping international political scenario rooted in true events.
