Despite Constant Criticism, John Abraham Talks About Completing 17 Years In The Film Industry!

After a brief successful stint in modelling, John Abraham entered Bollywood with Jism in 2003. He did manage to make heads turn but that still didn't establish him as a bankable actor. He went on to do projects such as Paap, Dhoom, Garam Masala, Baabul, Dostana, New York, Housefull 2, Madras Cafe, Dishoom, Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran, Romeo Akbar Walter and Batla House.

Was it easy for John Abraham to be in the industry where everyday a reliable actor is replaced by a star kid? Well, that wasn't not the only challenge that he faced.?

John said that the worst criticism he has faced since the time he entered Bollywood is that he doesn't "deserve to be in this industry".

"I don't deserve to be in this industry' is the worst piece of criticism I've ever received. I got that from Day One. It's been about 17 years since then. Most people who said that are now married with children, half of them have retired, some have left their jobs. I am still here," John said on chat show, By Invite Only.

John was asked to give a tagline for Kangana Ranaut, if she was a brand, he said,

"If Kangana Ranaut was a brand, her tagline would be 'say it like it is'." On Ranveer Singh, he said, "Ranveer Singh is like Duracell, so (his tagline would be) 'Go on and on and on'."

John has expanded his horizons and entered the film-making business as a producer as well.
