Hold up. John Abraham just threw down a take that’s got us here at GaraMasalaFM sitting up and paying attention. The Dhoom star has reportedly come out swinging for Indian footballers, positioning them above the usual suspects Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in his personal rankings. Because apparently there’s room for more than one way to play the beautiful game.

Yes, really. In a move that screams pride-in-homegrown-talent energy, industry chatter suggests Abraham is championing the next generation of Indian football stars. This isn’t about disrespecting the GOAT conversation happening across the globe. It’s about giving serious props where it’s due closer to home, where hungry talent is making waves.

The actor has never shied away from supporting Indian sports and talent through his various initiatives and ventures. This latest statement fits perfectly into that vibe: backing the underdogs, celebrating local legends-in-the-making, and reminding everyone that world-class talent doesn’t always come wearing a Barcelona or Manchester City jersey.

Our cameras and sources are tracking this, and we’re definitely here for it.
