John Abraham: Celebs can’t be flagbearers for every issue

With great power comes great responsibility. In a country like India, being a star also endows one with great influence over the masses. However, the kind of times that we are living in, celebs have to be extra careful of the issues they support or things they say in the public domain.

John Abraham recently opened up about being a celebrity if he finds it difficult to express his opinion. The Satyamev Jayate actor said that as a celeb one should express themselves but people should also understand that a celeb can’t be flagbearers for every issue.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, when asked if he finds it difficult to openly share his views on any issue, John said that being a celeb one should share their views as they have got a platform. However, the actor also cautioned that one should be prepared to face the negativity and toxicity that comes with it.

The handsome actor when on to add there are several issues close to his heart but there’s no point in voicing his opinion on every issue in the country just to come across as knowledgeable.

John also stated that being a celeb doesn’t mean they should be flagbearers for every issue. The actor reasoned that celebs are also limited like every other citizen and they are not endowed with superpowers. “I rather voice my opinion on certain issues without spreading myself too thin, because I know there are others voicing theirs on other issues. Someone on animals like me, I am sure someone else is doing it for children, farmers, many people raise their voices. We can’t be flagbearers for every issue, and the public should not assume that we necessarily need to be that for all issue. As long as we all understand, that we are also limited like every other citizen of the country, and not endowed with superpowers, then it’s all fine, ” said the Parmanu actor.
