Actor John Abraham says the worst criticism he has faced since the time he entered Bollywood is that he doesn't "deserve to be in this industry". "'I don't deserve to be in this industry' is the worst piece of criticism I've ever received. I got that from Day One. It's been about 17 years since then. Most people who said that are now married with children, half of them have retired, some have left their jobs. I am still here," John said. Batla House Box Office Collection Day 2: John Abraham’s Latest Outing Witnesses Normal Drop on Friday, Earns Rs 24.39 Crore
