Award shows are a big no-no for actor John Abraham, who said that he has no respect for them. The actor, who will soon be seen in the film "Mumbai Saga", refers to award shows as "circus" and says he maintains distance from such events.

"I totally don't respect awards. It's a joke. It's comical to see actors dance and then collect an award and make funny jokes," he told IANS. However, he knows that people who take part in these shows don't view them in this way.
