Actor John Abraham has been working in the industry for a very long time now. The actor has delivered several amazing films and was recently seen alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the high-octane action thriller Pathaan. Even after playing different types of roles in movies, he admitted that he has been objectified several times, but for John, it was never a comment—he has always felt that it was a compliment.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor shared, "I did feel objectified. In fact, I was told more often than not that, ‘John, you are probably the only man who can be objectified by women.’ In a strange way, I did not feel bad about it; I felt it was a compliment. I felt good about it, but yeah, we are usually fighting this battle where it's always about the way you look rather than the way you perform. I think one needs to strike that balance out by choosing the right kind of cinema, the right kind of scripts."
