John Abraham hasn’t had a bigrelease in some time. And that cer-tainly has made the actor impa-tient. He is eagerly waiting for hisupcoming film Rocky Handsome.The actor spoke to Gaurav Sharma

This is your second outing with NishikantKamat and this too is an action film.

(Smiles) Yes, it is nice to be back with Nishikantonce again. We did Force in 2011 and it was big hit.The best thing about Force was it was raw action thatwe had shown and the audience liked it. The kind ofaction we had shown in Force was not high on spe-cial effects but more about power and hand-to-handand combat. It was a stylized film. This time tooNishikant has done a done a great job. Rocky Hand-some too is high on action with a lovely story and theaction and the story complement each other.

But the film got an A-certificate.Yes, we were quite surprised because we were not

expecting it. The only reason for the film getting anA certificate is because of the action. We have triedto show action in a very different way in this film butunfortunately we were given an A certificate but youcan’t help it. If there is action in a film it means it willshow a lot of blood but everything isn’t in our hands.We have tried to show action in a very sleek and styl-ized manner. They could have given us a U/A certifi-cate but we unfortunate.

Will that actually keep a section of theaudience, primarily the youngsters, awayfrom your film?

I don’t think so. We applied for a U/A certificatebut we were told that the film deals with people whoare more than 16 years old. So we couldn’t do much.But the film has a very touching story and I am con-fident about a lot of youngsters watching the film.

You too had to work a lot on your body forthis film.

See (Smiles) I am already a fitness freak but thisfilm did definitely demand a lot more from me. Sincewe wanted to show raw hand-to-hand combat andthat too in the most stylized form, Nishikant wantedme to learn two action forms Aikido and Hapkido,for which I had to spend a lot of time in Thailand. Ialso stayed there in a shanty and used to take a tuk-tuk to travel to the place where some of the greatestand best Aikido and Hapkido fighters train. It was avery rigorous schedule and I had to at times train formore than 14-15 hours. We have some very high-octane action scenes in the film and that will give theaudience an understanding of the kind of hard workthat went into shooting all those sequences.

You are also making a sequel to Force.Yes, Force 2 is again going to be high on action

and I am really hopeful about the film. Once again alot of hard work went into Force 2.

In fact, you fractured your knee during theshoot of Force 2.

That was a nightmare. We were in Hungary whenthe incident happened and as language was a bigproblem, things became even more difficult. Thedoctors failed to understand what I wanted to say andin the end I was lying in bed with morphine in mybody. I had to undergo three surgeries but that’s fine.I am ready to walk the extra mile if the role demandsextra effort from me.

You will be seen alongside Shruti Hassanin Rocky handsome.

(Smiles) Oh I must she that she is a very commit-ted actress and I really liked her professionalism. Shehas done a very good job in the film and I am surepeople will like her character and performance in thefilm.

You are also producing quite a few inter-esting films. Is it a conscious decision to pro-duce films on unconventional subjects?

To some extent yes but it is not that I keep look-ing for subjects that are unconventional. The basicidea is to produce films that have good stories thatwill entertain the audience. But first and foremost,one has to believe in a subject. If I believe in a sub-ject and feel that this story needs to be told and havethe confidence that it will be accepted then I go forit. A film is not always about big stars but it is allabout a good story told in a very simple style. (TWF)

How hopeful are you of winning amedal in Rio?

I am very confident about winning a medalat Rio. I fully concentrate on my training and Iam giving my best effort. After all, it is Olympicsand the completion will be tough, even thequalifying rounds. Winning or not will bedecided by my hard work and Almighty God,who is in control.

Tell us a bit about your preparation.How is it shaping up?

I spend most of my time at the NationalTraining Camp. It’s been more than twomonths that I am away from home. I train withdifferent coaches and sparring partners.Besides national camp, I also train separatelywith trainers of my choice. I am grateful to theMinistry of Sports for seeing into all my needstowards my training, also my team for all thesupports, in terms of planning, suggestionsand logistic arrangements.

You have already said that you'llretire post the Rio Olympics, are yougoing to reconsider that decision?

As of now, NO. But let us see if there be abrighter platform.

What is the plan from here on? What

do you plan to do post retirement?For the moment, my complete concentra-

tion is on training for the Rio Olympics inAugust. As the saying goes, “change is the onlyconstant thing”. One of my ambition is to givea fillip to boxing in India. Towards this, I haveset up a Boxing Academy in Manipur where Iwill personally train my students and will tryto give the academy/foundation the best shapeI can. The academy is sponsored by SAI andpowered by Herbalife.

Women were only allowed to contestin and from the 2012 London Olympics,do you think if it was done earlier(allowed) you could have won somemore Olympic medals?

Surely, I could have bagged more and bet-ter medals if Women’s boxing was included

in Olympics earlier than 2012.How do you prepare yourself

before a game? How do you moti-vate yourself?

Firstly, nothing can be achievedwithout efforts. And to win some-

thing; we must be willing to sacri-fice something. I have made a lotof sacrifices to achieve my cur-rent state. Secondly, it is impor-tant to identify one’s strengths,weaknesses, opportunities andthreats and work towards devel-

oping them. My passion for box-ing and the sharp focus in training

are my two strong pillars. This will be my lastattempt for Olympics, and I need to do/give mybest… this is how I motivate myself.

Talk to us about your diet.Sportspersons need loads of energy and

strength to endure throughout their games.And boxing, being a high endurance sport,energy and strength are at the top of the lad-der. Upon that, boxing involves certain limitson our body weight; we cannot go lower orhigher from the limit lay. As for me, once I starttraining, my weight goes down tremendously.I need to maintain it well along with being com-fortable and fit. For this reason, I carry with melocal rice which is rich in starch, adequate sup-ply of Herbalife’s Formula 1 Mix Shake to sup-plement my requirement and Afresh Energydrink to stay energetic and alert throughout mytraining.

Mary, once you retire, those are biggloves to fill. Who do you think will doit?

I cannot say a word on this. Honestly, I amsometimes disappointed seeing the perform-ances of my juniors. I don’t say they are weakor hopeless, but I expect them to beat me, tak-ing into account my health condition and age.But they still aren’t able to. At the same time,like every profession, performance improves

with practice and experience. I believe goodand better boxers will come up with properguidance.

Winning all those gold medals andcompetitions, do you think you toocould have pulled off Vijender's plan,given how successful he is now? Whydidn't Mary Kom turn professional?

It involves personal interest into it. More-over, I have better plan for myself and the coun-try in retiring.

Would you want your kids to take upboxing, or say any other sport as a careerchoice?

Children today are more informed and theirexposure to things are very different comparedto our days. It is entirely upto my children whatthey wish to do with their future. I am here tosupport and fuel their dreams and aspirations.

How does it feel to have Herbalife asyour sponsor? Are you using any of theirproducts?

I have a personal level relationship withHerbalife for a long time now. Herbalife hasalways stood by me. I have always appreciatedtheir concerns towards me and my family. Theyare a part of my family. I am happy to have beenassociated with Herbalife. As I said earlier,Herbalife is partner of my boxing academy too.As for products, I use Formula 1, Afresh ener-gy drinks, protein powder (sometimes)andcosmetic products as well.

Looking back into your life, so far,state your all time high moment.

Though small, my first achievement in the1st World Women’s Boxing Championshipheld at Pennsylvania USA, in 2002 winning Sil-ver remained one of the most excitingmoments for me as it was my first experiencein International level. After 10 years, winningOlympic medal in 2012 remained my all timehigh moment.

In any sport, emotions run high andthings can sometimes go against yourway. How important is it to respect adecision and not let emotions take afront seat? How do you plan to tacklesuch a situation?

Everybody in every field wants to win andis hard to accept loss/defeat. When I lose, it ishard for me too. But life is all about hits andmisses.I always console myself saying, this is agame. Losing and winning are a part of it. Evenif I lose today, I can still win tomorrow. It’s allabout perseverance, determination and stay-ing at it that it crucial.

What's your mantra for success?Hard work, passion, firm determination,

confidence and faith.I have experienced mira-cles in my own life, especially on my woundsand situations. We shouldn’t ignore God’sblessings. (IBNS/T WF)

Oral health is poor in people with inherited bleedingdisorders .Therefore early & ongoing dental care in thispatient group is of particular importance in avoidinginvasive procedures at latter date. Oral Health Day(WOHD) is celebrated every year on 20 March. It is aninternational day to celebrate the benefits of a healthymouth and to promote worldwide awareness of theissues around oral health and the importance of oralhygiene to looking after everyone old and young.Effortsare focussed on protecting the teeth and mouth of thepopulation throughout life, from childhood to adult-hood. The theme is World Oral Health Day for 2016 isCelebrating Healthy Smiles because having a healthymouth is cause for celebration!

It is a day for people to have fun - a day that should be full ofactivities that make us laugh, sing and smile .Your oral health con-tributes to your overall health.And by practicing good oral hygienehabits you can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease and possiblysome serious health issues Here are some healthy tips for the chil-dren having haemophilia to smile for life.

Hemophiliais agroup hereditarygenetic disorder that impairsthe body's ability to control blood clotting which is used to stopblood bleeding when a blood vessel is broken.There are two typesof Hemophilia A & B.Hemophilia A is the commonest accountingfor 85% of all cases of Hemophilia (incidence 1:5,000 live malebirths) & characterized by deficiency of factorVIII. Hemophilia Bis characterized by factor 1X (incidence 1:30,000 live male births)There is spectrum of severity of Hemophilia defined as Mild, Mod-erate & Severe according to plasma levels of FVIII or FIX .MildHemophilia bleed only after surgery ,may not be diagnosed until aprocedure such as a dental extraction causes a prolonged bleeding.Moderatehemophilia have few spontaneous bleeds but bleeds afterminor trauma .Severe hemophilia have frequent spontaneous bleedsinto muscles & weight bearing joints.

Dentist plays a very crucial role in overall good health of all ingeneral & in particular those with Hemophilia& other bleeding dis-orders. People who have bleeding disorder often require infusionsof clotting factors or other medications to control bleeding. Patientswith inhibitors to FVIII or FIX therapy should be managed by opti-mal prevention and early diagnosis along the philosophy of a 'Min-imumIntervention in Dentistry approach

The two main dental diseases affecting all persons, includingthose with hemophilia are:

Dental caries or Tooth decayDental caries, commonly known as dental decay, is a diet-relat-

ed transmissible infectious diseaseof the tooth structure wherebybacteria and bacterial by-products dissolve tooth structure.

The main cause of tooth decay are unrestricted eating of sugarswhich is found in various forms like sweets cake, biscuits, choco-lates,candis & soft drinks .

When there is continuous exposure to acidic attacks by contin-uous eating or drinking with any sugar-containing foods, then theacid attacks could proceed all day. This would result in rampantdecay which will progressively cause the teeth to decay within avery short period and then to become unrestorable. This would havea catastrophic effect on any hemophilia patient particularly wherereplacement factor was unavailable or even restricted.

Each "acid attack" lastsabout 20 minutes.After repeated "acidattacks," your teethbecome weak, and a

holeor "cavity" is formed.People who have bleeding disorders should be taught from an

early age to understand the importance of taking good care of their

teeth and gums to prevent the need for invasive procedures whichwould require pre-treatment with expensive medication as well aslonger recovery periods.

Prevention it must be remembered that for patients with hemo-philia prevention of dental diseases is better, cheaper and safer thanthe treatment .So The delivery of dentistry has moved away from atreatment-focused approach to a preventive model of care. Stan-dard prevention is suitable for children who are low caries risk andenhanced prevention for children at increased risk of caries or allo-cated to a high caries risk category due to other factors (for exam-ple, a medical condition). All children with congenital bleeding dis-orders would be allocated as high caries risk due to the complexityand morbidity of treatment when caries does occur in this group ofpatients. The prevention of dental problems is an essential compo-nent of oral care.. Emphasis is placed on the importance of regulardental follow-up, with fluoride varnish (5%) placed three to fourtimes per year, and the principles of tooth brushing to prevent den-tal caries and periodontal disease by removal of the biofilm of den-tal plaque

In compliance with the guidelines of the World Federation ofHemophilia, we recommend the following:

* Brush teeth and tongue for two minutes at least twice a day.* Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and brush gently so you do

not damage your gums.* Don't share toothbrushes.* Get a new toothbrush every six months, use fl uoride tooth-

paste.* Clean between your teeth with dental fl boss at least once a day.* Use mouth washes containing antibacterial & astringents likechlorhexidineAvoid tobacco productsAll tobacco productsare harmful, including"chew!" They cause:* Stained teeth* Bad breath* Gum disease* Addiction* Mouth and throat cancer soIf you are thinking about smoking -don't start. And if you smoke - quit before the damage is perma-nentNutrition Tips for a Healthy Smile* Drink water or low-fat milk and stay away from sugary drinkslike soda.* Don't eat too much candy or desserts that are high in sugar andstick to your teeth.* Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, meat & dairy products topromote healthy gums and teeth.(The author is Prof & Head department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery IGGDC Jammu)
