MUMBAI: Forty and Fabulous – Bollywood’s handsome hunk John Abraham turns a year older today. And what a year it has been for the actor! From the perfect eye-candy status of his ‘Dostana’ days, to an accomplished producer, the star is now eyeing the Director’s seat.

For John the actor, it was great moment when his ‘Housefull 2’ smashed box office records and entered the 100 crore league effortlessly, this year.

Foraying into production for the first time, too, brought the ‘down to earth’ actor a lot of success. His sleeper hit ‘Vicky Donor’ bravely touching upon a sensitive topic in society did decently well at the ticket counter.

A great career, some smart investments and John Abraham, who had risen from a middle class family, soon proved to be the dark horse. Never one to let success make his head go dizzy, John turned out to be a savvy businessman, who is steadily reaping the benefits of all that he has sown.

And now, with a fantastic nest egg, the drool worthy actor is more than ready to settle down with his ladylove Priya Runchal. Earlier this year, John had told us, that the wedding bells could ring anytime. “I know it will be this year, but I don’t know when. It could be in a few months or a few weeks. I am a very impulsive guy. So I might decide to get married next week! It’s possible that our wedding may have just 10 people, if we include close family.” But with 2012 almost coming to an end, it looks like 2013 it is!

To top off an already fantastic year, John was even voted in the Top 10 for the Sexiest Asian Man this time. Not that the actor needs any poll or survey to tell him he’s sexy. A glance in the mirror, would work well enough!
