I don't announce when I go to the toilet or what I eat: John on social media

Mumbai: Bollywood actor John Abraham, who is busy promoting his recently released film Mumbai Saga shared why he is not that active on social media. John, who shares pictures and videos on his Instagram or Twitter handles, rarely, revealed he is not someone who updates fans about everything on a daily basis. In an interview, while speaking on the same topic, John mentioned that social media is relevant in recent times. But, the actor also said that he is not someone who would post the details of his personal life.

In an interview with IANS, John Abraham said, “I was a media planner in an ad agency and I believe in the power of social media. It is very relevant. If I have to make an announcement, I would look at the digital route. But I am very resistant to using it for personal pictures.” The actor continued to share why he does not update fans with everything he does on a daily basis. He said, “I hold back. I don't say much. Once in a while, you will see a candid picture that blows up in the face. I stick to my business. I don't announce when I go to the toilet or what I eat. I probably shy away from it.” Opening up about how he reacts to harsh social media comments, the actor said he drops the post and does not pay heed to what people have to say. John shared that he never even reads social media comments.

John Abraham also spoke about the nude photo where he only posed with a pillow. Speaking on the same, the actor shared that he has no clue that netizens would love it to that extent. He called it ‘casual’ and revealed it wasn’t even posing. The actor said, “It was just so casual, I wasn't even posing. We just shot it and I didn't expect people to take to it like they did. I realised people like candid pictures more than structured shoots. If you see that picture, there is a lot of innocence. It is not meant to scintillate.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, John Abraham’s Mumbai Saga released on March 19. It features Emraan Hashmi as well. John also has Pathan will Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and a few other projects in the pipeline.
