What To Know
- Moving to a place where my parents could be looked after, where they feel connected in a community, that’s far more important than having the fanciest house in town.
- Abraham was in the UAE to support Treppan Living by Fakhruddin Properties, a development focused on wellness and clean living.
- Beyond acting, Abraham has built a reputation as an entrepreneur and investor, making calculated decisions both on and off screen.
Bollywood star John Abraham has a clear message for Gen Z and Gen Alpha: invest in property before splurging on fleeting experiences. Speaking during a recent visit to Dubai, the actor-producer made a strong case for long-term security over short-term indulgence.
“I wish Gen Zs all the very best in their experiences. But I’ll buy property,” he said with a laugh. “You need a roof on your head. You need that security.”
Security Over Short-Term Trends
While many young people today prioritise travel, dining and lifestyle experiences over homeownership, Abraham believes financial stability should come first. Studies have shown that rising living costs and financial pressures have made younger generations hesitant about buying homes.
For Abraham, however, real estate is more than just an asset. It represents family, stability and long-term planning.
“I think it’s connectivity and a sense of family,” he explained. “I care a lot about the elderly. Elder care is very important to me. Moving to a place where my parents could be looked after, where they feel connected in a community, that’s far more important than having the fanciest house in town.”

Promoting Holistic Living in Dubai
Abraham was in the UAE to support Treppan Living by Fakhruddin Properties, a development focused on wellness and clean living.
“We’re not selling a property, we’re selling a lifestyle,” he said. “It’s about holistic living, a 360-degree lifestyle.”
The actor noted that what drew him to the project wasn’t flashy architecture or luxury finishes, but the emphasis on well-being and community-focused living.
“Any other developer would have spoken about furniture or design. He spoke about lifestyle. That interested me,” Abraham added.
Coming from a family of architects, the partnership felt natural. Beyond acting, Abraham has built a reputation as an entrepreneur and investor, making calculated decisions both on and off screen.
Luxury Must Include Wellness
For the action star known for films like Dhoom, Force and Pathaan, luxury without health makes little sense.
“A clean lifestyle is a luxury in today’s world,” he said. “Lifestyle should be non-negotiable.”
He also highlighted Dubai’s structured and well-planned environment as an ideal testing ground for wellness-led developments, suggesting that similar models could work in cities like Mumbai, where pollution and urban stress are daily realities.

Discipline and Long-Term Vision
Abraham’s philosophy extends beyond property. Known for his disciplined fitness regime, he believes consistency is key to success.
“There’s no break day for me. Discipline is a way of life,” he said.
Looking ahead, Abraham remains focused on credibility — in cinema, business and partnerships.
For him, the takeaway is simple: buying property in Dubai isn’t just about owning real estate. It’s about building security, supporting family and investing in a lifestyle that lasts far beyond any temporary trend.
