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."
Set in the backdrop of the 1971 War, with India backing freedom fighters in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) against Pakistan's oppression, and Pakistan attempting to forcefully bring India to the negotiating table by advancing across our western borders, this film is expected to stir the spirit of patriotism.
Industry legends Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Padmini Kolhapure, Anil Agarwal, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Alka Yagnik, and Shabbir Kumar have lent their voices for the song.
The audience will get to see her in a never-seen-before avatar performing extreme physical training routines alongside the Veerangana Force, India's first female commando unit to tackle rising crime against women in the state.
Shot by ace photographer Taras Taraporvala, the ad features Malhotra with a ghastly 'cut' on her face seemingly made by an 'ankus' (a sharp-edged device used to control elephants), asking her fans to "try to relate" to the animal's fate by never riding an elephant. Her hairstyling and make-up were done by Natasha Mathias.
The world knew that the child had been named 'Jeh' -- his maternal grandfather Randhir Kapoor, in fact, had also referred to him as 'Jeh' when someone asked him for his name in response to the Bollywood veteran's recent tweet that he was visiting his grandchild.
