John Abraham says critics told him they wrote him off due to personal issues

John Abraham has said that he ignores negative comments or reviews about him. He likewise claimed that the pundits who wrote negatively about him later came to him for help, and let him know that they criticised him because of their own reasons. John said that he tries to comprehend what is happening and helps them, suggesting that the critics may be in unhappy marriages.

John was inquired as to whether he has used any headline about him to his advantage, as Abhishek Bachchan who keeps a review that called him “Zero No. 1” with him. John said that he instead chooses not to read these reviews in the first place.

The actor told Siddharth Kannan, “They keep writing me off after every film, and there’s nothing wrong with it. My point is very simple, all these people who have written me off today– probably half of them, though I can’t take names– have come to me for work as writers. Maybe they need some help. I try and help as much as I can. They say, ‘Listen we’re very sorry, we said what we had to because we didn’t know you and we just had a problem.’ They must have their own reasons, could be unhappy marriages, or they wake up unhappy from bed. It’s okay. I understand. It’s human.”

He added, “But now when they come to me for work, it’s nice because I try and help them and I say, ‘Listen, you all could have been good critics, you’ll are failed writers but no problem, any help that I could give from my side, I will do whatever I can.’ And the same goes for anybody who comes to me for work. Many have come, I’ve got about maybe close to 20 odd people who’ve come, some of them are very known critics, but I’ve tried to help in the best way I can. Lekin koi sudharte, koi sudharta nahi hai (some of them improve, some don’t) and they keep writing ‘people’s careers are over.'”
