Hrithik gets scentimental

Hrithik selects one perfume before every film of his goes on the floors, and wears it throughout its shooting. Is it superstition?

Hrithik Roshan has a distinct love for perfumes. Call it a fixation if you may, but the actor wears only one perfume at a time when he's shooting for a particular film. Of course, the fragrance is replaced once a new film starts rolling.

The story goes that the perfectionist actor handpicks a particular perfume before he starts shooting for a film. He then religiously wears the same fragrance throughout the filming process. Eventually, for him, the film becomes synonymous with the perfume brand.

The actor, who is presently filming for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar, is very particular about the way he wears his perfume. Our source from the sets in Karjat informs that he usually, applies the perfume and allows it to dry before slipping into his costume. He feels that perfume should not be oversprayed as the fragrance is not supposed to repel people.

Hrithik has managed to keep his perfume habit under wraps. When quizzed about it, papa Rakesh Roshan says that he is not aware of his son's way with fragrances. "I wouldn't know about the perfume he wears," he says.

However, sister Sunaina has made a note of the actor's all-time favourite in his ever expanding perfume collection. She says, "From whatever I know of him, he is very fond of fragrances by the design house Issey Miyake."
