?There are few people in the industry, who on purpose create unwanted controversies and bask in the glory of the publicity they receive as a result of their mischief. As actors we have to be more alert and conscious from such people?, says Irfan Khan

John Abraham with his dazzling smile and stunning body can make even an old lady blush.

And taking this view into a positive outlook he feels that his current image can prove to be his forte.
