John Abraham feels insecure about…

John Abraham talked about a phase in his life when his face was full of pimples. He said, “To be honest, before my face could clear up, I had pimples. There were so many, and when you see those little things on your face, you lose your confidence. And those weren’t just little things; I had big pimples all over my face. There was a time when I would wake up in the night crying and asking God, ‘Why did you give me this face? Just do something, just make it go away, do some magic.’ Not only that, I was the shortest boy in my class and among my friends, so I would also ask God, ‘Make me taller.’ And I think God answered my prayers. Today, I am 6 feet 1 inch tall and very happy.”
