“I dont want any awards” – John Abraham

While there is no dearth of mutual affection between John Abraham and Varun Dhawan-so much so that John has taught Varun to lose his inhibitions about his body-there is one point of dispute between the two .

Awards. Varun loves them. John doesnt believe in them.

John Abraham feels he may not be deserving of the awards and will therefore not attend awards functions. Says the actor, "I never go for awards functions. I dont want any awards. Theyve become a joke. I dont think going to awards is wrong. But I cant do it. Performing at these awards would make me feel like a performing monkey."

John Abraham also has problem with dancing publicly. "I cant dance on stage for 500 people. I cant dance at functions. Ive heard how people talk about actors who perform on stage. To me it is a monkey act."

He wont even attend awards functions for films involving colleagues. "If Dishoom wins any awards, Varun will be there dancing and clapping. I wont. He is a sweet transparent boy. Maybe I dont deserve awards. So I wont get them. And I wont go."

John will continue to work his way through the projects he believes in. "Ive no fear of failure. Im like a blinkered horse. I dont look at the work other people are doing. I concentrate on my own work. I dont go for parties. I sleep by 9.30 pm. I meet some of my from my friends from the film industry when they are coming home after a party and I am on my morning jog. The beauty of this industry is acceptance."
