John Abraham: We don't value soldiers of our country

Actor John Abraham, who said that "Parmanu is my child" and that he has fought for its custody is now celebrating the success of his film "Parmanu - The Story of Pokhran"

John Abraham, while interacting with media along with director Abhishek Sharma after the success of "Parmanu- The Story of Pokhran" on Monday in Mumbai said that "we don't value soldiers of our country". 

In relation to his movie, John also talks about soldiers of the country who deal with difficulties in their life. He said: "I always say that they are the real-life heroes and we are just reel-life heroes.''

He further added, "I think they should not face any kind of difficulties. They protect us on borders and here by sitting in the air-conditioned room, we complain about petty issues in life." 

While in further interaction he gave an example saying: "In Siachen (Glacier), they survive in -50 degree Celsius and in Jaisalmer, they survive in +50 degree Celsius so, I think we don't have any right to complain, whatever we can do for them as a country, we must do for them." 

Talking about the success of the film, John said: "I am thankful for audience and media because they have appreciated our film. Abhishek and me, both of us are feeling very relieved and happy that this film worked at the box-office. This film not only has garnered a positive response from the critics and audience but, I think everything in this film has come together. I think the direction of Abhishek, my and other actor's performances has worked in the favour of the film, so it feels amazing."
