Super spontaneous and real interview! I worked with John in his first ever TV commercial for OCM where I was an Asst Director and he was friendly, sweet, humble and so professional. Years later he recognises me as I was walking down a road in Bandra.. stops his car and chats with me . As warm.. unaffected and grounded as always❤️✨Gem of a man. This interview nailed who he is.

Having watched so many episodes of Bombay Journey, I don’t think I have seen any other actor/actress be so down to earth and chill! The way he just randomly started speaking to other people, like the autowala, posing for pictures to the kids outside, waving at fans or speaking to the security guard about taking care of a dog he randomly saw! Genuine John Abraham! I have a become a fan of you bro! 🙏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼

[@DrStratComm]

I love the stories in the comments about people meeting John and saying he’s genuinely just a nice guy. That makes me happy internally. I don’t really care about his filmography but I know I respect the man because of how committed he is to his values, how he was raised, his relationship with dogs, and the fact that he is self-aware.

[@Hetal28]

I love and respect the fact that he stays often with aging parents for obvious reasons. This is our inherent culture which we are running away from in the name of space. Actors must say such things as they have influence on young kids

[@kashanizhar7806]

Life has come to this, watching John abraham becoming a boomer. But still 100% in love with him!

[@SuperRedux]

Oh cmon you idiot , watch his interviews from 10 or 20 years ago . He’s still the same guy

[@theviralstory3356]

Boomers are those born before 1965, and John is not.

[@KingCatJanus]

No one "becomes" a boomer. It's decided by the era they were born. John is Gen X. Yes he is aging if that's what you are trying to say. But he looks a lot better than his age and he's never been in to social media much anyway.

When I was in Fr. Agnel College, Bandra I used to dream 'ek baar Jhon Abraham ko dekhneko milna chahiye' and one day He was roaming around in his White Gypsy and I chased him on my Hercules cycle. I didn't got a chance to catch him but that was fun. 😅❤️

[@mekosonedo4257]

'No Smoking' is my favourite Anurag Kashyap and John Abraham film. Nothing comes close when it comes to the sheer ambition, treatment, ingenuity and narrative scope. I believe 'No Smoking' is much more relevant today, under the current regime. It came way ahead of its time, and naturally, a minuscule part of filmgoing audience was ready for such an experiment: starring a leading man of commercial films. The inside jokes, the allegorical tone, the scathing political commentary, the odes to the masters of such films, the ambience, the music, and John as the protagonist collectively work wonders. And the cinematography. Special mention to Ranbir Shorey as Abbas Tyrewala. Uff.

John is a very honest actor. But most of his directors couldn’t even understand him. So the films remained undercooked. I remember in No Smoking, Kashyap forced his own intellectuality on the movie but John got criticized instead
