Mumbai: Actor John Abraham has girls drooling over him but the one woman he finds "really, really pretty" is his Baabul co-star Hema Malini who he says is still the ‘Dream Girl’.
"During Baabul if I had shot one more day with her I'd have fallen in love with her. She's really, really pretty," confesses John.
"Hema Malini is either black or white. She always tells you like it is. That's so rare in this industry where people often say one thing, and mean another," says the actor.
As for superstar Amitabh Bachchan, John has piles of compliments to heap on his professionalism.
"But forget about his work ethics. More importantly, he's a nice man. When we meet he makes me feel so comfortable. He exudes a positive energy. I always felt safe in his shadow when I made my debut with him in Aetbaar. Nothing had changed in Baabul," says John.
But John's best compliments are reserved for Rani Mukerji. "I learnt a lot from her. Rani exudes a lot of confidence. Needless to say she's an amazing actress. Working with her and Bachchan automatically raised the level of my performance,” he says.
"I need such support. People forget I'm still so new. I have been here only for three years. I'm far behind the rest of my contemporaries," he adds.
After Baabul and the just-released Kabul Express, John is excited about Nagesh Kukunoor's Ashaayen.
"It's so beautiful! My role requires plenty of preparation. Actually, there are two kinds of preparations. One is the big-spectacle preparation where one prepares for the action and dance scenes like Dhoom or Cash. The other kind of preparation is my kind. "For my roles I've started preparing for those little nuances that add something almost invisible to the role. There are the larger-than-life roles and the life-size roles. I believe in the life-size preparations," he says.
