Rumours of his marriage to NRI investment banker Priya Runchal falling apart have surfaced from time to time since over a year, although John Abraham has always maintained an 'all is well' stance. But, now, he wants to set the record straight once and for all.
"Any relationship teaches you a lot about your strengths as well as drawbacks, and Priya has bought a lot of stability to my life. My relationship with her has made me a far more mature person," says the actor, now in the midst of promotions for his next, 'Force 2'.
The couple secretly tied the knot in 2014 and John announced it to the world with a subtle tweet. Thereafter, they have remained elusive, hardly spotted at B-Town parties or social gatherings. While Priya chooses to stay out of the limelight, she takes keen interest in the actor's production house. John admits he was "always careful" about his finances, but his wife's expertise comes handy.
"Priya is fantastic. She has made a huge difference in the way we approach numbers and our business. She has studied in the best universities of the world and worked with some of the finest financial companies," he adds.
John is also a co-producer for the sequel to the 2011 action-drama and his business sense tells him the film will surely bring in profits. "We made 'Force 2' within the budget we had set from the start. As a producer, I know that through the digital, satellite, overseas and music rights, I have recovered more than the cost of production. Now, I just have to recover the P&A costs and I am confident that will done on day one itself," he signs off.
