As 2022 drew to a close, when most people were posting decadent photos of their New Year’s Eve revelry, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan took to the stage by posting a gorgeous selfie of a ripped torso at the gym. chose to start the new year on a high note.
His 8-pack is on display proudly, and most of us marveled at his firm abs and sucked into his holiday belly.
On January 2nd, Hrithik Roshan offered fans a selfie showing off his sculpted torso.
So when Gulf News got the chance to talk to him in Dubai, when he swooped in to unveil luxury watchmaker Rado’s Hrithik Roshan Special Edition watch on January 16, we were in the jugular vein. I went straight.
What is the secret to a toned physique? Is it an extremely protein-rich diet, strenuous exercise, or an iron pump?
“I’ll let you in on a very, very boring secret,” Roshan said contrivedly.
“Just with discipline, it’s so boring. I don’t think I’d do it because it’s not state-of-the-art technology…it’s the same old boring technology, discipline. That’s how it works…my life My aspiration in life is to be healthy and happy,” Roshan said.
At the age of 49, he cuts out an impressive figure, but Roshan, who made his debut with the blockbuster romance “Kaho Na … Pyaar Hai,” released 23 years ago, reveals another secret.
“I am one of the laziest people ever. I’m lazy, so I always have to restrain myself,” Roshan said.
As anyone can assure you, we believe in him because it’s not easy to be consistent with training and eating healthy. I am retreating.
But looks aren’t the only thing with this actor. He looks at his life, ups and downs in the most realistic way. In his final release “Vikram Vedha” in 2022, he played a morally corrupt criminal, addicted to games with a strap-on cop (Saif Ali Khan), and Roshan gave his best performance. I was. When I pointed that out to him, he kindly reminded me that although the film didn’t do very well at the box office, it’s great that it was rated. Bollywood actors rarely talk about their perceived lowness, but Roshan speaks with striking pragmatism about the “Vikram Veda” misfire.
“The box office is a very important validation for an actor, but hearing good things about your performance will motivate you to do a better job. will be,” says Roshan.

Currently, he is working on Siddharth Anand’s ‘The Fighter’ with Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. In the glossy action movie, he plays a fighter pilot for the Indian Air Force. Previously, he teamed up with director Siddharth his Anand in ‘War’ (2019), an action film that had solid box office success.
According to reports, ‘War’ earned over $60 million, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Sidharth’s Anand-directed films are always packed with high-octane action and gravity-defying stunts, and his actors are always under tension. It’s not just about action and spectacle, it’s also about looks.
“He [Siddharth Anand] It’s all about how everything looks, including his actors. So balancing actors and stars is always a challenge. Sorry, I’m calling myself a star here. But it just explains that there’s a lot more going on in his films: in ‘Vikram Vedha’ or ‘Super 30’, he’s just an actor,” Roshan said. I’m here. he is absolutely right. In movies like ‘Vikram Vedha’ and ‘Super 30’, his physical prowess and star power weren’t an issue, but his performances were spot on. In fact, in “Super 30,” his flashy looks were toned down and dialed down for greater effect. In “Vikram Vedha” he played a borderline unhinged felon and was appropriately dirty for the same.

“I was very happy to be just an actor. But when you have to straddle both being stars that people expect to see, it gets a little hectic,” Roshan said. , to be fair, Roshan, who prefers to be known for his acting prowess, has always been proclaimed as natural star material.
23 years ago, when his 2020 ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar’ was released, he jumped into this rare group of superstars who could act, dance and stunt like consummate professionals. With just one film of his, critics and his ever-growing army of fans have always dominated the Bollywood cinema scene. I felt that he had acting ability. It was an unfair comparison at the time, but Roshan has endured over the years by experimenting with roles and characters. But the important thing is that Hrithik was able to enjoy a long innings.
“Honestly, I feel more comfortable being spoken to as an actor rather than a superstar. Superstars bring a lot of evil within you and a lot of vibrations that aren’t pleasant,” Roshan said. After more than 20 years of entertaining us with films spanning a wide variety of genres, Roshan claims he wasn’t sure if he would make it in show business for long. His father, actor and producer Rakesh Roshan, launched him into the world of cinema, but Hrithik was always unsure whether he would be loved by millions of movie-loving Indians. So did he expect to last this long in Bollywood? Famous for being callous when it comes to accepting or rejecting actors based on the box office success of their films?

“No, no… not when I started. I was just praying for a passing grade. I think people gave me more than I deserved. So I try to do my best,” Roshan said. said.

So what is his life philosophy?
“Good times and bad times are part of life. In fact, I don’t think of them as bad times. It’s just feedback. Because now is the moment we readjust and grow.” , it’s a great time for movies,” said Roshan.
After the pandemic and multiple lockdowns, Bollywood cinema is undergoing major changes in terms of what works and what doesn’t. It’s been rejected because it calls for a solid backbone of storytelling and acting.
Roshan is delighted to be part of this huge and chaotic circus.
“It’s an uncomfortable place, but it’s a place where you can grow and it’s exciting…and remember, hard work brings good luck,” says Roshan.
