“In a country like India, if a cinema artist is not getting opportunities, they do not see the reasoning behind it. But in New zealand, there is no judgment. After coming to New zealand I worked in a petrol bunk, I worked as a motor cycle mechanic and I enjoyed it. I also worked in a construction field. I used to go and do all the insulation” Abbas said. “In between that, I went to Australia and got myself certified as a public speaker.” he added.

Abbas said that he mainly want to do public speaking to the teenagers who are struggling with suicidal thoughts. “I myself had suicidal thoughts. And I changed my life. So I want to show them that they can also do it. Maybe if I can save at least one person, that is more meaningful and purposeful for me other than doing all these films for so many years” Abbas said.

“I chose New zealand because it could let me live with more freedom in doing my work and in getting into what I want to do. In India, we are still stuck in a materialistic world. We are always concerned about what other people are doing. I just want to leave all that and simplify my life. During my childhood, India was more simple and beautiful. We as people have complicated it. I came here to simplify my life for me and my family and to go back to the basic root system” he said in the video which is going viral in social media platforms.
