John Abraham posed with Manu Bhaker in a recent photo and the netizens were quite upset that John held Manu’s medal while posing with her.
The most liked comment on his post read, “Sorry but u have no rights to touch the medal won by someone else.” Another comment read, “Why are you holding her medal? She earned it you don’t have right too hold it. You didn’t even know her before Olympics.” Another netizen said, “Where were you in her training days? Never bothered to support a budding athlete?”
John had shared the photo with the caption, “Had the pleasure of meeting @bhakermanu and her lovely family. She has made India proud!!! 🇮🇳 Respect.” Manu shared this in her Instagram story and wrote, “Lovely to meet.”
John, at the trailer launch event of his film Vedaa, got in a verbal argument with a film journalist who questioned his film choices in the recent past and how they have largely belonged to the same genre. John did not appreciate the question and said, “Have you seen the film Vedaa? Can I call out bad questions and idiots?” John then continued, “Maybe watch the film first and then judge. After that I am all yours. Whatever you say. But if you’re wrong, I’m going to turn you around and tear you apart.”
In Mumbai, trailer launch events have the filmmakers showcasing their trailer to film journalists. The screening of the film isn’t usually held until a day before the release, after most of the promotions are done.
