One film that is really close to actor John Abraham's heart is Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayein. Both John and director Nagesh Kukunoor have always said that they want to dedicate this special film to their parents and their teachings of Hope.

Hence, it came as no surprise when the duo organized a special screening of Aashayein for their parents recently at a preview theatre in Hyderabad. For John Abraham, it was indeed an emotional moment as his parents always stay away from filmdom and this was the first time that they asked him to show them the film.

What's more, the day the screening was held, it was Nagesh's parents' wedding anniversary and so impressed were Mama and Papa Kukunoor with the film that they were heard saying that it was best gift they could have got.

As for John, he too seemed all excited at the screening, "Aashayein is not just any film for me. It is special in more than one way. When I was shooting for the film, I was going through the worst phase of my life. It has been a journey for me and is the most challenging role of my career so far", said the hunk

All in all, an enjoyable evening was had by one and all.
