My values are middle-class: John Abraham

He may be a Bollywood star with a huge fan following, but actor John Abraham says he is still rooted to his middle-class values.

The Dishoom actor was at the Sacred Heart School in Mumbai as part of an event to honour the efforts of Habitat for Humanity in rebuilding homes for those affected by the December 2015 floods in Tamil Nadu.

When children meet film stars, they understand that the actors are, after all, just regular humans, he said. “Like how I have come to this school and sat with the kids, they feel that, ‘He is our guy, he talks like us and he is a normal man and we can relate to him... His values are quite middle-class.’ They like it as I belong to a middle-class family. My values, my parents are very middle-class. I tell the kids not to lose their value system,” the actor said.
