John Abraham’s generous gift for Arshad Warsi

That John Abraham loves his

bikes

is a well-known fact. The actor, who owns a range of bikes, is often seen zipping around his neighbourhood on one of his mean machines. Sharing his love for bikes is Arshad Warsi, who owns top-class bikes himself. And recently, Arshad got a pleasant surprise when John bought him a high-end bike for the new year.
In a recent interview, Arshad revealed that the two actors, who last shared screen space in ‘Pagalpanti’, would spend hours talking about bikes and discuss the ones they own in-between takes on the sets of the comic caper. So, when John chanced upon a new bike, he immediately sent a picture of it to Arshad, asking him if he liked it. When the latter asked if he was planning to add one more bike to his fleet, John replied saying he wanted to purchase the bike for Arshad. Although Arshad said that he refused to take such an expensive gift, John reportedly insisted and eventually sent the bike over to Arshad’s place with a note that the actor should try it out. The bike, a BMW F750 GS costs a whopping Rs 12 lakh. Arshad said it was typical of John to not spend much on himself, but gift his close friends expensive presents.
The actor also revealed that years back when the two were shooting ‘

Kabul Express

’ together, John asked Arshad why he had stopped biking. To which the latter had admitted that his wife

Maria Goretti

was uncomfortable about bikes and had asked Arshad to stay away from them. At that time, John had called up Maria and convinced her to allow Arshad to use bikes again.
