John Abraham is ready for marriage

Mumbai: Amid rumours of his link-up with investment banker Priya Marwah, Bollywood actor John Abraham has said that he is finally ready to tie the knot.

"Its my wish to get married soon. I would love to settle down in life. It is human nature. There was a time when I did not want to get settled down but today I want to. It is a normal... natural thing," John told PTI. John`s love life has been constantly in news post his break-up with Bipasha Basu. The end of his eight-year relation with the actress recently led to rumours of link ups. While Bipasha was said to be seeing Shahid Kapoor, Josh Harnett and Rana Duggabati, John has been linked to Genelia D`souza and Deepika Padukone. B-town is also abuzz about John dating Marwah and his plans to wed next year. But the 38-year-old actor wishes to keep his personal life away from media glare and chooses to remain mum about the special person in his life. "Today, I will fiercely protect my personal life. Like I will never comment on my personal life in public...saying it is this.. it is that. Today, if anybody comes in way of my personal life, I will react... probably like how a tiger reacts," John said. "In the past I had this gestation period where ..my personal life was out in open. But today I will not allow it to go out there. I will hold it close to me I will not let anybody come close to it and cover it. I am at a stage where I probably want to do good films and have a good life," he said. PTI
