Hrithik Roshan is a fighter. His struggle to overcome stammering during grown up years, broken marriage with childhood sweetheart Sussanne Khan and his ongoing legal battle with actress Kangana Ranaut has not changed Hrithik’s positive outlook towards life. As he looks back, the actor sees himself as an evolved person, who in spite of experiencing highs and lows in his life, has still “soldiered on”.
“I constantly believe in evolving as a human being, an actor and a performer. As I look back, I see myself as an evolved person who has seen great highs and lows and still soldiered on,” Hrithik said in an email interview.
The actor is currently in news for his legal spat with Kangana. The two, who were apparently dating in the past, slapped a legal notice against each other for tarnishing their respective images in the public. This set the stage for their legal war.
On being asked how his good or bad times have influenced him as an actor or as a human being, Hrithik said, “I believe if you are not rediscovering yourself and pushing boundaries, then you are not alive. Everybody wants to change something about their life, but they are either too afraid, too lazy, or too comfortable with the way things are,” he said.
The actor is currently the brand ambassador of the watch brand Rado and recently launched the Swiss watchmaker’s chocolate brown high-tech ceramic collection.
Hrithik says that his ability to reinvent himself “in new roles resonates with the brand’s image to constantly innovate, making it a perfect fit”.
“There is a high focus placed upon the importance of choosing a reliable, trustworthy celebrity to endorse or sponsor a company’s product, while still balancing the celebrity’s power to influence their consumers. And for me, I work with people and brands that inspire me. Our values and message need to be the same,” he said.
Last seen on screen in 2014 released action film Bang Bang!, the actor is currently shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker’s directorial Mohenjo Daro.
