John Abraham , one of the most good-looking actors in Bollywood, turns 32 on Saturday.

As another year of his life passes by today, John Abraham is recovering from a recent illness and plans no lavish celebrations on his birthday. But then, the way John has been, he avoids making his b’day a big occasion. He prefers simple, low-key celebrations with friends and family members.


This year, Bipasha Basu , John’s ladylove, plans to have him cut a cake. She will also give him a gift, which she is not willing to reveal to anyone.

John, an MBA graduate, is half Irani-half catholic. He first came to notice after winning the Gladrags Manhunt Contest in March 2000. John then did some advertisements before stepping into the tinsel town.

John’s potential as an actor came to the fore in Jism (with Bipasha). His bike-riding thief act in the last year’s hit Dhoom consolidated his position in Bollywood. In the meantime, he did Deepa Mehta’s arty movie ‘Water’ in which he belied the long-held view that models cannot act. John recently showed his flair for comedy in Priyadarshan’s Garam Masala .

Today, John has cemented his place in the Hindi movie world.

Personally, John is a conservative man when it comes to relationships. He doesn’t believe in one-night-stands and holds the view that a person should be loyal and committed in relationships.

As we all know, bikes are John’s passion (after Bipasha, of course). He is also a health conscious man who likes to work out for hours everyday.

Sure, he will live long.

Happy Birthday, John.
