HR’s GQ Inter: on his r’shp w/ Sussane, Views on Kabir S

The idea of love varies for every person and its parameters are equally asymmetrical. Perhaps, the release of Kabir Singh has whiplashed all the pre-existing definitions of love and has revolutionized the way we express it.

The film has already transformed the orthodox perspective of love and its synonyms range from the intimacy shared between a girlfriend and boyfriend or husband and wife to the simple warmth between brother and sister. Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor’s intense love affair has been criticized by fans and critics for the promotion of misogyny.

Actor Hrithik Roshan has admitted that Bollywood has largely promoted heroes with ‘victim syndrome’ and propagated ‘this idea of obsessive love’.

In a recent interview with GQ, Hrithik said, “Every single Hindi film hero, until 2006, has had a victim syndrome, and propagated this idea of obsessive love. I blame my people for creating this mindset. I agree whole-heartedly, (with) the reviews of Kabir Singh fresh in my mind. The Hindi film hero is a baby. The only reason he thinks he’s strong is because he knows he has an audience. So he’ll have his guitar in his hand, half a smile on his face, a teardrop in his eye and he’ll sing to himself because he knows he’s being watched. And anyone who’s grown up making that guy his idol is done for in life.”

While describing his love quotient with ex-wife Sussanne, he said: “It’s a beautiful relationship. With our kids, with us as friends, it’s all about wisdom. One thing is for sure: Love can’t turn into hate. If it’s hate, it wasn’t love. The flipside of love… Is also love. Once you understand that, you’ll keep finding ways back into love.”

It is difficult to draw the basic criteria for loving someone and it is really necessary to understand love has many faces which are diverse in their own way!

However, Hrithik feels contradicted in life as he talks about accepting his imperfections as a human being and shares wisdom about his psychological and physical flaws.

The actor has said he is now consciously choosing films that deeply move him. Hrithik said, “(then) The rest of the journey becomes easy. I’m not a very good actor, I’m not the fittest guy. I’m the opposite of these things, so movies for me are a very difficult thing [to make]. It takes a lot out of me to do the simplest things that other actors do instinctively. That’s why I need to find stories that fuel me to go through the entire process – to wake up at 6 o’clock, to take the aching back, knees, shoulders, the broken bones – and do what I do. Super 30 just hit it out of the park for me, especially the climax.”

He also claimed that he is happy to see that the star system is withering away. “We’re getting to a much better place. It’s far more real – that whole concept of actors being gods? The distance isn’t that much now. Look at Tiger (Shroff), Varun (Dhawan), Ranbir (Kapoor)– they’re chill. No one’s walking around like a star. But they’re still delivering hit films.”

When the world's most handsome man gives you a stare 'Up close', you can only feel blessed. Millennial Superstar Hrithik Roshan aces the GQ magazine cover with a look, brimming with style. The actor is not only hailed as the most handsome and certainly so, but also has a legacy of promising portrayals to his credit- making us feel the heat up lose, just as the magazine states.

The July edition of GQ magazine features the star with the tag line 'Up Close' to take us into the journey of his life where Hrithik would spill some beans and take us closer to the trajectory of his life. The actor raises the temperature with every gaze and keeps us clung to the magazine throughout with a pink backdrop and a denim pick for the cover, making us all go gaga! The superstar is often praised as the 'Greek God' for his looks and the perfect physique.

The actor is already setting the world on fire where his recent outings from his next, Super 30 has got the fans swooning over his unconventional looks and Bihari mien in the trailer, which is being termed as the 'most awaited trailer of the year'. And, with this recent cover, it sure is giving the audience all the more reasons to catch Super 30 to watch the superstar on screens.

Hrithik Roshan will be seen essaying the character of a teacher for his next. Hrithik will be reprising the role of a Mathematician, Anand Kumar who trains students for IIT-JEE in Bihar. The movie also features Mrunal Thakur alongside Hrithik in the trailer, which is being hailed as the "best trailer of the year". The movie 'Super 30' is set to release on 12 July, 2018 and is one of the most awaited movies of the year.

Hrithik has not only created a bond with the students on and off screen- from Super 30 students to Anand Kumar's real students but is also, giving due respect to the teachers who shape the future of the children of the society. With this special screening, Hrithik with the teachers is definitely a sight to have for the real as well as the reel teacher, a role the actor is acing with his soulful portrayal.

Soaring high with the style A-game, the cover just hints as to getting to see our Millennial superstar from the proximity- up close!

His words about love are so true.

I think he was just generally taking about the "hindi film HERO" but could also be a dig at Kabir Singh.

This was a really good interview, do read the whole thing if you can🤗

Till 2006 kyun bola? 2006 mein kya hua tha? Hrithik ki koi film aayi thi kya badiwaali?

He was not talking about Kabir Singh at all. This article is flawed and it was corrected later. You shud post directly from GQ site.

Which is why he was talking about Hindi film hero until 2006 clearly. And he had said the exact words even in his interview during Kaabil time. Basically, he was saying that people shud not live in devdas mode if heartbroken - he was referring to his life and sussanne - and shud just focus on the positives and move on.
