John Abraham is an action star on screen but as a child, he had to be at the receiving end of some desi action in his house. The actor, who is currently promoting his latest release Vedaa, shared that he was a naughty child who would get thrashed by his mother with a broom. On the Aapka Apna Zakir show, John laughed as he reminisced this memory from his childhood.
When asked if he was ever hit by his mother during his childhood, John shared, “Mummy ne boht maara mujhe, jhaadu ke sath. Kyunki bachpan mein hum log, jab 6-7 saal ke the, main aur mera bhai chaddi aur baniyan mein bhaagte the aur mummy jhaadoo ke sath aake maarti thi (My mom has beaten me a lot with a broom. Because during my childhood, when I was 6-7 years old, me and my brother would run around in our shorts and mother would run behind us with a broom).”
John shared that if he and his brother did not improve, his mother would faint, perhaps pretend to faint, so the kids could behave nicely. “Aur fir jab hum improve nahi hote the toh voh behosh ho jati thi, toh hum jaake paani leke mummy ke upar ‘mummy mummy get up get up’ aise daalte the. Toh boht hi naughty bache the hum dono (When we wouldn’t behave, she would faint and we would get water and sprinkle it on her face and say ‘mummy, get up’. So we were very naughty.),” he recalled.
