John and Priya Abraham
John and Priya Abraham

A while ago, I told you how John Abraham gave his best wishes to newlyweds Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover when asked about them in a Mumbai Mirror interview. During the same conversation with the leading tabloid’s Entertainment Editor Roshmila Bhattacharya, he also spoke about his wife Priya Runchal at length like never before. Theirs was a long distance marriage as Priya was in Los Angeles, but she has now joined him. Here’s what John said:

Now she has joined me and handles everything, from my management to finances. She’s a good teammate, my partner in everything, but doesn’t like to go to too many functions. Anyone else in her place would love to come out in a red gown and walk the red carpet, she’d rather concentrate on credible causes. While some flaunt their partners on Facebook or Twitter, I hold her in high regard… Priya has a strong sense of self. She doesn’t want to be called an actor’s wife, she’d rather make her own space. She’s not enamoured by the glamour around, her biggest strength is her simplicity and that’s something I find attractive across the board.

Nice!
