John Abraham, who has been one of the biggest stars in the tinsel town, revealed that he has been a Bollywood outsider by choice.

"I have many friends in the industry, but even if for a minute I feel like I'm part of their world, I don't let myself. I snap out of it. I know my fight is all alone. I have to prove a point myself. I won't have anybody as a crutch. But I think it's damn cool not to have a crutch," he said in the cover interview of GQ's August issue.

Further explaining about being a perpetual Bollyood outsider, he said, "The first and most important step towards being accepted is fraternizing. I don't enjoy late nights. I have a physiological and physical problem with late nights. Everybody knows that if they invite me, I will come in at 9pm and leave at 9:15, while they'll walk in at 11. So now they don't bother."

On the work front, after his successful outing 'Dishoom,' John is now buy with his upcoming flick, 'Force 2,' a sequel to his 2011 flick 'Force.
