I will not dance at marriage functions: John Abraham
John Abraham says that one of the principles in his life is to avoid dancing at marriage functions. For the actor-producer, the act is below his dignity.
“Definitely, one thing that I will not do and you can hold against me is that I will not dance at marriage functions. That is below my dignity,” John told IANS.
“I have got very strong principles and I live by them. Also, I don’t have any endorsement agent so I operate on my own. I do brands only if I believe in that,” he added.
John, who was last seen in Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Wazir”, is currently planning to remake “Rocky Handsome” in Tamil and Telugu. And his work commitments are taking so much of his time that he is hardly seen at Bollywood social gatherings and award functions.
Asked why he is keeping such a low profile, John told IANS: “There is one common thread that holds all actors together and that’s insecurity.”
“I can’t be a part of that, hence I am content in my space. I feel uncomfortable at award functions and I don’t go for award functions. Also party for me is definitely no,” he said.
