Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has opened up about the importance of family, his favourite cheat meal and about the activity he enjoys indulging in during his free time.
Talking about the importance of family in the actor's life, he said live on Roposo's show 'Red Carpet Premiere': "Family is life. It is what makes me - ME. Family are the people I enjoy my life with and to enjoy that life I go to work."
"I go to work, build things there and bring it back to my world so that I can enjoy it with my people. Family is the most important for me."
The actor further emphasised on his philosophy of maintaining a work-life balance and having a strong mindset of not mixing family and work.
Pointing out that 'Vikram Vedha' marks Hrithik's 25th film as an actor, he was asked about his most favourite on screen character.
Hrithik said: "Very very difficult question. If I had to say which is the character that I had the most fun doing, that would be a tough choice between Kabir (War 2019) and Vedha (Vikram Vedha 2022). They both were equally stimulating."
Speaking about the activity he enjoys indulging in during his free time, Hrithik said: "I like to read in my free time. I love finding a place where I can just sit and read. When I read it means that I am stress free, I can't read if I'm in character for my films or attending to work commitments. I can only read when my mind is absolutely free. It's an activity that I cherish."
Hrithik who is known to be a disciplined fitness enthusiast, spoke about his favourite food & go-to cheat meal.
"It has got to be samosa, and specifically the ones that you get in theatres. It's amazing how many I can eat at one time," said the actor.
The actor was seen at his candid best as he named and proceeded to sing one of his favourite songs - 'Gore gore banke chhore' sung by Amirbai Karnataki & Lata Mangeshkar from the 1950 film 'Samadhi'.
Signing off, Hrithik shared: "My next film is Fighter. It is starting in November and is directed by Siddharth Anand. Currently I'm prepping for the film and I'm confused & uncertain what can I do with my character. The search is on."
In the past, actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi, Tabu, Manisha Koirala, Urmila Matondkar and Kareena Kapoor Khan have been honoured with the award. The award committee drew flak in 2016 when it feted Bollywood star Katrina Kaif with the award as certain sections of media and general populace felt that the actress was undeserving of the honour.
Starring Parineeti Chopra and Harrdy Sandhu in the lead, the film will also bring together seasoned actors such as Sharad Kelkar, Rajit Kapur, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Shishir Sharma, Sabyasachi Chakraborty and Deesh Mariwala. An espionage action thriller, 'Code Name: Tiranga' is the story of a spy on an unfaltering and fearless mission for her nation in a race against time where sacrifice is her only choice.
The actors too took to their Instagram accounts to share a sneak-peek into the film. Jackie said that he has portrayed enormous characters, but Makhan Singh in 'Atithi Bhooto Bhava' was something different for him.
Tusshar had ventured into production in 2020 with the Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Laxmii'. He was last seen with Naseeruddin Shah in the biographical drama, 'The Dirty Picture'. Announcing the release date, he added: "Super excited to bring 'Maarrich' to the audiences in cinemas on December 9."
Ayan Mukerji's Bollywood action fantasy 'Brahmastra Part One: Shiva' was one of the leading films at the global box office over the weekend, grossing $28.2 million, or a whopping Rs 224 crore, report 'Variety' quoting the film's producers, Disneys Star Studios India and Dharma Productions.
Her upcoming film 'Lost' is all set to get a world premiere at the 13th Chicago South Asian Film Festival. Directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, 'Lost' is an emotional thriller that represents a higher quest, a search for lost values of empathy and integrity.
