Sport is religion: John Abraham

Darpan News Desk IANS, 12 Jun, 2014 04:32 PM

Actor-producer John Abraham's love for fitness is well known, but the former model, who has invested in a football franchise, also worships sport.

"I love sport, and I think sport is religion. If you see me, I am an outdoor person. I believe I live a very healthy lifestyle. And I just want to make sure that all the youngsters of today lead a lifestyle like this, and don't do drugs... don't do things that harm your body.

"Be focussed on being a better human being, better sports people for tomorrow," he told IANS.

The "Madras Cafe" star has bought the Guwahati franchise of the Indian Super League and his home production "1911", to be directed by Shoojit Sircar, will see him reprise late Indian footballer Sibdas Bhaduri on the big screen.
