Break-up with Bipasha made me mature: John

He never discussed about the ups and downs in his relationship in public but Bollywood actor John Abraham says his break-up with Bipasha Basu has made him

mature enough to deal with life.

John, 38, dated Basu for ten years and the couple split recently.

"I have become mature in life. I must say that every relationship helps you to grow in life and makes you mature. If today I am sitting here and discussing about my personal life which I had never done before, you can easily gauge that

how much I am enjoying my space and time now," John said.

"I am happy that now I have time for myself and my ailing parents. They are not keeping well and I am devoting all my time to them," he added.

Professionally also John is enjoying the current phase of his career. He

believes his forthcoming release 'Force', Tamil remake of 'KaakhaKaakha', will enable himself to make a mark in the genre of hardcore action.

" After 'Dhoom', I've not attempted any action film. So, my fans were a little disappointed with me. Many pointed out that I have the physique and strength, therefore I should attempt a hard core action film. And post this film I think

people will find me in the action hero slot," John said during a Van Heusen store launch in the Capital.

But he says, it was not intentional to join the league of action heroes of Bollywood.

"I think it's all a sheer coincidence that I am playing the character of a cop. We had never planned that all of us will play the character of an outrageous cop. But I feel Salman bhai and Ajay Devgn have brilliantly don the

character," he added.
