John Abraham and his wife, investment banker Priya Runchal, rarely make public appearances and are known for keeping their private lives away from the spotlight. The duo is rarely seen at Bollywood dos, something the actor says he rarely did even before getting married. John is known to be a fitness freak but the actor says his disciplined lifestyle goes beyond just his dedication to health. In a recent interaction, John admitted that their decision to maintain this privacy is a “conscious” one that both he and Priya have agreed upon. He also shared why his marriage stays out of the news and how he has managed to remain free of scandals throughout his career.
John added that when he is not working on films, his focus shifts to other passions — particularly his football academy in Shillong. He also spends his time writing scripts.
The actor also spoke about how he and his wife’s low-profile lifestyle aligns with his disciplined routine, which includes avoiding Bollywood parties. He explained, “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.”
In an earlier interaction with The Hollywood Reporter, John revealed that he has not missed a gym session in the last 35 years. He said, “I don’t do it for narcissistic reasons as if I need to have a six-pack for a particular film. I have it, great! I’m fit, great! I have got a migraine issue. So, on those days, I’ll do lighter weights. But I won’t not go to the gym. There’s a special ecosystem of people that really get what I’m doing and that’s who I cater to.”
On the work front, John will next be seen in Tehran, directed by Arun Gopalan. The film, based on the 2012 attacks on Israeli diplomats, will premiere on ZEE5 on August 14, 2025.
