My Take
John Abraham is, to me, one of Bollywood's most interesting cases of a model who refused to coast on his looks. The easy path for someone with his physique would have been a career of glossy romantic leads, but the fact that he's collected awards specifically for negative and villainous roles tells you he wanted to act, not just appear. Add producing to the mix and you see a man thinking about the industry as a business, not only a stage. I admire performers who chase difficulty over comfort, and Abraham clearly did.
