i found this online...

Abraham's father is a Malayali Saint Thomas Christian architect, from Aluva, Kerala while his mother is Iranian[2], and a former basketball coach. They eloped and were estranged from their respective parents until the birth of their first child, John.

John's birth name is Farhan, but his family called him John, and he has used that name ever since. He has one younger brother, Alan.

Actually, when John came into the industry, people advised him to change his name to Farhan Khan, because all the "Khans" have been making big. But, John decided to Keep his real name and identity! 😃

He said himself in an interview with Simi Garewal
