John Abraham on life post lockdown

Bollywood star John Abraham is all praise for the frontline workers who have been risking their lives to save those infected with COVID-19. The actor feels that the tough time has brought everyone together.

“The police, army, medical professionals and all of them, these are your Covid warriors, like they call them, who are actually risking their lives, especially the medics, ward-boys. They all are the real-life superheroes. Situations bring out unlikely heroes, and this pandemic has brought up probably the likeliest ones, that is the people in the medical profession,” Abraham tells a publication.


John Abraham’s poem Mera Bharat Mahaan, which is dedicated to all those professionals who have put their lives on stake to saves ours, has amassed great love on social media, with its views shooting up to more than a million in no time.

Giving credit to director Milap Zaveri, John says, “The credit goes to Milap, he penned and WhatsApped it to me. I said, ‘this is beautiful’. He just wanted me to recite it. It took me a couple of minutes, as it spreads the message of positivity in today’s world, which is full of negativity and hatred. I think it is good to have something that is positive and not controversial, still Indian at heart, which people will relate to. It will probably foster unity somewhere.”

John Abraham, who was last seen in Anees Azmee’s madcap comic-caper Pagalpanti (2019), is currently looking forward to the release of his next film Mumbai Saga. Helmed by Sanjay Gupta, the film is a gangster drama, also featuring Emraan Hashmi, Kajal Agarwal, Jackie Shroff and Suniel Shetty in important roles. Abraham also has Attack and Satyamev Jayate 2 on his platter.
