Why John Abraham Has Always Avoided Bollywood Parties: "I Have A Problem With Alcohol, I Also Sleep Very Early"
John Abraham is one of those Bollywood stars who is rarely seen out and about socialising, if not promoting his film. The actor shared that he has been that way even before he was married. His wife, Priya Runchal, too has the same nature, as the actor reiterates that it is a very "conscious decision" that they both took.
What's Happening
John Abraham recently addressed the question of not attending Bollywood parties because it has nothing to do with his films.
He told India Today, "I never went to parties even before I got married. I have always chosen to stay out because the music is too loud, and I don't drink alcohol. I have a problem with alcohol because my father loves his single malt. Also, I sleep very early and I wake up at 4-4:30 am. I read as much as I can after waking up, and I devour world news."
Furthermore, he added, "That is a very conscious decision, because my films have nothing to do with my personal life. In all these years, I have never had a publicist or an agent. I don't have someone who is manufacturing stuff for me out there. So the minute my films are over, I become not newsworthy and I go into my shell and I come out to speak only when I have something relevant to say."
About Tehran
John Abraham's last release was The Diplomat. He is now gearing up for the release of Tehran.
Tehran is based on the 2012 attacks on Israeli diplomats. The film will premiere on ZEE5 on August 15, 2025.

In A Nutshell

Tehran Movie Review: John Abraham and Manushi Chhillar's spy thriller is intense, engaging and sharp
Tehran is John Abraham's career best performance after Diplomat. This film gives a new high to patriotic films. **Director:**Arun Gopalan Cast: John Abraham, Maanushi Chhillar, Neeru Bajwa, and others One doesn't need to be a 'by the book' officer to be considered good at his job. John Abraham who plays a police officer, DCP Rajeev Kumar is one such man, who cannot take his job dispassionately. He is emotional too. From the beginning of the film we realise that it is not going to be a simple espionage thriller. The twist and turns to this film were plenty. From the very beginning the geo-political tension of Iran-Israel is what makes the story strong. John Abraham delivers his career best performance. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Tehran Movie Review: John Abraham and Manushi Chhillar's spy thriller is intense, engaging and sharp Inspired by real events, the characters are fictitious. The film begins with a bombing in Delhi which killed a little girl who was selling flowers. DCP Rajeev Kumar (John Abraham) couldn't get over this incident. Kumar is put on this case. But as usual, he gets personal because he knew this girl from whom he had brought flowers. The girl dies in the hospital, but her face keeps haunting him. He immerses himself in the case as if it is his personal loss. He makes arrangements for this girl's brother in an orphanage and spends time with this young kid too. While Rajeev is a patriot, he soon finds himself abandoned by India and Israel and hunted by Iran. A still from Tehran Though Manushi Chhillar, as SI Divya Rana was given limited screen time. Yet she plays a strong role and delivers her best. Without much dialogue, she makes her presence felt. I don't think anybody else would have done a better job than her. Same goes for Neeru Bajwa who plays the role of a diplomat Sheilaja is also very powerful. These women with limited dialogues, show their position in the most graceful possible way. We realise that the job of a civil servant is not as glamorous as it appears to be. The movie is a slow-burn. Some may even find it like a documentary. But it is a must-watch for those who take interest in geo-politics. Rating: 3 out of 5 WATCH the trailer of Zee5's Tehran here:
