Did you know Shah Rukh Khan gifted John Abraham a bike after 'Pathaan's success? Here's what John said

Zakir Khan’s talk show 'Aapka Apna Zakir' premiered on Sony TV last weekend with Karan Johar, and 'Stree 2' leads Shraddha Kapoor, and Rajkummar Rao as guests. On Sunday, actors John Abraham, Sharvari, and Abhishek Banerjee, with 'Vedaa' director Nikkhil Advani, joined Zakir Khan for a fun conversation. John revealed that Shah Rukh gifted him a bike after the success of 'Pathaan' last year on the show.

John said, 'My last film was with Shah Rukh. I remember there was a success party after the film’s release, and Shah Rukh was like, ‘Come on John, let’s party! Apni picture chal rahi hai. Achha opening mila hai.’ I said that I wanted to stay home and sleep. Toh unhone bola kya chahiye tumhe? Maine bola ek motorcycle de do bas. Toh unhone mujhe motorcycle gift ki. Main khush ho ke gaya ghar.

John also praised SRK on a recent podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia. He called the superstar ‘smart, intelligent, but also very caring and cute’. He shared how they got along quite well during Pathaan. He added, 'When my career started, Shah Rukh was my judge (in a modelling competition), and now during Pathaan, I was working with him. There was a lot of respect and love.'

John's love for bikes

Being a motorcycle enthusiast, John has had an impressive collection of bikes. John gifted himself a swanky Suzuki Hayabusa worth Rs 17 lakh after Pathaan's success. He isn’t the first person to receive a bike as a gift from Shah Rukh Khan. In 2013, after the success of Chennai Express, Shah Rukh Khan also gifted an Ed Hardy bike to director Rohit Shetty.

John played Jim, the antagonist, in Pathaan, a blockbuster spy thriller directed by Siddharth Anand last year. Produced by Aditya Chopra, it was a part of the YRF Spy Universe, and also starred Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana, along with Salman Khan in a guest appearance.
