Actor and film producer John Abraham has secured a place for himself in Bollywood with a career spanning nearly two decades.
As an “outsider” who worked hard to climb up the ladder on his own merit, he has certainly learned a few things about the industry and how it functions.
Currently, when the Hindi film industry is being criticized and constantly under the scanner for all the wrong reasons, Abraham says it “has been very gracious and extremely good.”
“People who are accommodating, some who are not so accommodating… Contrary to the way people are looking at our industry today, I think it’s a good place, it’s not that bad.”

John AbrahamElaborating on the subject, the Satyameva Jayate [2018] actor feels that since the film industry is always in the limelight and “conspicuous,” it tends to be scrutinized even more. He believes that Bollywood offers a space for everyone to create their own path.
Have I got opportunities from people who have been in the industry? Yes. Have I been the flag bearer for taking people from outside the industry (in films I produced)? Yes. I have been in both places, and there’s no thumb rule that someone is good or bad. It’s a very individual place. You can choose to create your own path.”

He also described Bollywood as “a very democratic place” and hopes to be recognized as an example of a survivor who can help change the perception of the industry.
