Though
he
doesn't
show
it,
the
past
year
hasn't
been
easy
for
John
Abraham.
No
Smoking,
the
film
that
he
saw
as
his
career's
turning-point
bombed.
And
then,
there
were
rumors
and
speculation
about
the
turbulence
level
in
his
relationship
with
Bipasha.
Just
when
he
was
on
the
verge
of
starting
afresh
this
year,
his
father
fell
ill
earlier
this
week.
But
John's
not
sulking.
"All's
okay
and
I'm
pretty
sure
he's
going
to
be
all
right.
Nothing
can
be
more
painful
than
a
parent's
illness.
When
either
of
my
parents
are
unwell,
my
life
just
comes
to
a
standstill.
I
can't
focus
on
anything.
No
wonder,
Karan
Johar
said,
'It
All
About
Loving
Your
Parents.'"
Karan
Johar
and
John
have
discovered
a
mutual
giggling
society.
Says
John,
"When
we're
together,
Karan
and
I
both
laugh
and
giggle...giggle
and
laugh
to
the
point
that
people
stand
and
stare
at
us.
In
fact,
when
we
were
in
Delhi
last
week
for
the
launch
of
the
Nano
car,
Karan
and
I
just
cracked
up
repeatedly." Karan,
who
started
shooting
with
Simi
Garewal
for
NDTV
Imagine's
'Shava
Shava'
earlier
this
week,
laughs
at
the
mention
of
John.
"Simi
and
I
have
been
old
friends
and
we've
reunited
after
a
long
time.
I'm
having
so
much
fun
shooting
with
her.
Not
too
many
people
know
this.
But
John
has
a
wicked
sense
of
humour.
We
do
have
good
laughs
whenever
we
get
together.
Knowing
our
schedules
it
isn't
that
often.
But
he's
someone
who
can
make
me
laugh."
John
starts
shooting
for
Karan's
untitled
production
directed
by
Tarun
Mansukhani
in
two
months.
"Really
looking
forward
to
that.
I've
worked
with
Karan
before
in
Kaal.
But
this
is
something
that
has
never
been
done
before.
And
I'm
with
two
of
my
favourite
co-stars,
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Abhishek
Bachchan.
I
just
love
all
the
Bachchans
to
death.
The
last
time
we
were
together
for
Dhoom,
Abhishek
and
I
just
freaked
out.
I
think
Karan's
film
will
be
loads
of
fun."
So
it's
not
only
about
loving
your
parents,
it's
also
about
loving
your
friends.
