10 Qualities That Make Hrithik Roshan The Superstar That He Is
Women want him. Men want to be like him. Kids look up to him. It's awe inspiring to see how much love and respect Hrithik has earned from not just his fans, but from the whole film fraternity. Actors may come and go, superstars stay. And, Hrithik Roshan is undoubtedly one of the most noteworthy actors Bollywood has seen in the last few decades. Here are 10 things that make him the star that he is!
1. Determination
Not many know, Hrithik Roshan stammered as a kid. "Unfortunately, it's one of those handicaps that is made fun of. Especially kids, you can't blame them but they end up being mean because it looks funny. So the childhood of a person suffering from a problem like this is pure hell..." he once said in an interview. Homeopathic treatments, physiotherapy sessions -nothing worked, but he never gave up. It was ultimately his perseverance and determination that helped him better his speech to perfection. Difficult to imagine that the man who can make girls go weak in the knees had a problem speaking as a kid?
2. Trailblazer
In a time when people love to slam Bollywood, constantly comparing it to Hollywood, Hrithik Roshan did not shy away from attempting a superhero movie. That the Krrish' series never lived up to our expectations is a different story but you've got to give the man due credit for his effort. If Bollywood has a superhero of its own today, it is Hrithik. We may see a lot better superhero films in the coming times, but Hrithik will always be the trailblazer for Bollywood.
3. Fighter Spirit
While shooting some of the most death-defying stunts ever performed in Bollywood for his film Bang Bang', Hrithik injured himself so badly, he had to undergo surgery to get a blood clot removed from his brain. There were speculations whether he would ever be able to perform stunts again. But the man fought against all odds and emerged even stronger.
4. Dignity
The news of his split with Suzanne Roshan broke the internet. Hrithik Roshan went through what was probably the hardest time in his life when the media blew everything out of proportion, be it the 400-crore alimony amount or Suzanne's alleged affair with Arjun Rampal. Not only did the man maintain his calm by choosing to not wash dirty linen in public, he even came out in support of his wife and cleared all misconceptions with the media about the alimony.
5. Style
The moment he stepped into the industry, he literally set hearts on fire with his Greek God looks. You could credit that to his genes, but his personal sense of style is definitely something he has acquired over time. To be known as a star, you've got to look like one and be it in his films or red carpet appearances, Hrithik always looks a class apart.
6. Impeccable Acting Skills
Right from his first film, the man showed promise of an emerging star. A lot of his films may have bombed at the box office lately but there can be no denying that Hrithik's performance in every film is applause worthy. He has only risen from where he started, unlike most other stars who have been inconsistent with their performances. Apart from his stellar performances in superhit films like Koi...Mil Gaya', Lakshya', Jodhaa Akbar', Dhoom 2', Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' and Agneepath', the man proved his acting prowess with powerful performances in not so successful films like Films like Fiza', Mission Kashmir' and Guzaarish'. His work speaks volumes about his versatility as an actor, be it comedy, romance or action!
7. Jack Of All Trades
There are a dozen great actors in Bollywood, but no one who brings in a whole new dimension to his personality. He is one of those few Bollywood actors who can fight the goons as well as romance their women. Acting is not Hrithik's only strength. There is a reason why he is the most desirable man in Bollywood. It is difficult to decide what Hrithik is better at - acting or dancing? You tell us!
8. Hard work
Yes, it did help him a great deal to be born to Rakesh Roshan and to be served his first film on a platter, but he really worked hard to be where he is today. It only takes sincerity and hard work to take luck any further. Be it experimenting with his looks or undergoing rigorous training, the man believes in doing whatever it takes to justify a role.
9. Commitment To Fitness
Hrithik Roshan has been consistently inspiring millions of Indians to be fitter every day. He is not just a heartthrob amongst the ladies, but also a fitness idol to most men. One workout picture of Hrithik Roshan is all it takes to make him trend all over social media. It may be a common occurrence for actors to have six pack abs now, but Hrithik has been consistently working out throughout his Bollywood journey.
10. Gentlemanly Demeanor
He is a star kid, has been a part of the most successful films, has women swooning all over him, is one of the sexiest men alive and is still so humble. Be it a candid interview, a red carpet event or a talk show, Hrithik is always a gentleman. He is one of the most professional yet warm people in the industry and all his co-stars would swear by that. Superstardom has never gone to his head, and that's what makes him an even bigger star!
