Hrithik Roshan Speaks On Shammi Kapoor

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan says that the deceased actor Shammi Kapoor will not be forgotten.
“Tum mujhe yun bhula na paaoge” the song from Shammi Kapoor’s film Pagla Kahin Ka rings so true now that he’s left us. Hrithik Roshan, who is a great fan of the late actor, says a life like Shammi Kapoor’s should be rejoiced not mourned.
“Legends like Shammi Kapoor do not die…he lives, inside us, around us. A journey such as his should be rejoiced, not mourned. Of course, we’ll miss his physical presence terribly, but his magic lives on within you and me…and I will make sure my sons know the superstar their dad admired and loved the most,” Hrithik said in a press statement on Monday.
Hrithik has two sons: Hrehaan, five, and Hridhaan, three.
Hrithik even says it’s not appropriate to use tributes like RIP (Rest In Peace) for Shammi Kapoor.
“For you I don’t want to say R.I.P, but rather D.I.H …dancing in heaven now…I love you,” Hrithik added.
Shammi Kapoor passed away on Sunday at the age of 79. He was cremated on Monday morning. Source

Rakhi Sawant Takes Panga With Hrithik On Television

It seems that actor and TV host Rakhi Sawant and her publicity team had lied about the ratings of her earlier reality show and falsely claimed that she can trump actor Hrithik Roshan anyday. While industry insiders are shocked by Rakhi’s ‘cheap stunt’, apparently Team Hrithik is very upset too.
“Rakhi had mentioned in one of her interviews that she has got a better TRP than Hrithik which is absolutely false. The numbers speak for themselves. We guess this was a cheap stunt by her publicity team and this has upset the producers of Hrithik’s show,” says a unit member of Hrithik’s TV show. Apparently, Rakhi had earlier spoken about trumping actors Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar in her reality shows too.
According to the TRP ratings, Hrithik’s show has got the highest cumulative TRP rating (which is an average of daily viewership rating) of 4.7 which is the highest cumulative rating among any non-fiction show. Also, among the individual TRP rating (daily viewership), India’s Got Talent had got a TRP rating which is as high as 3.9.
“Rakhi never got the highest TRP among the reality shows. She has even mocked SRK in one of her earlier shows. Everybody knows what ratings Rakhi got for her earlier shows and the controversies she ran into for her acid tongue,” says a source close to the star. Hrithik, of course, has chosen not to react.
Hrithik got the highest television rating points (TRPs) for a non-fiction show in 2011. Hrithik is thrilled with the response he got from the viewers and he chooses not to refer to Rakhi’s comments. “The credit for the super opening must entirely go to the channel’s team. TV is about content and from all the feedback that I have received, it’s clear that they’ve built a good show. I am super-excited and am looking forward to the next vigorous round of competition between the best dancers from across the world!” he exclaimed. Source

Hrithik Is The Best Dancer Of Film Industry : Says SRK

With ‘Just Dance’, Hrithik Roshan has made his debut to the small scren. While it was obvious that the show would grab eyeballs considering that it is Hrithik Roshan, arguably the best dancer in Bollywood and a superstar in his own right, who is judging the show, no one expected that it would generate such an excellent response from audiences. Positive reactions haven’t stopped pouring in ever since the show’s first telecast.
The most positive endorsement of Hrithik and his show has come from none other than Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh said,” When I think of dance, I think of Hrithik. For me, the two are synonymous with each other!” He further added that Hrithik is the most appropriate judge for any television show concerned with dance, since Hrithik is the best dancer in the film industry.
Several others have complimented Hrithik for his spectacular debut on small screen.

Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, starring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin has been in the limelight for various reasons, one being the hot and special scene between lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif. Recently there were reports that the scene may be toned down as it was too hot to handle.
However, after much deliberation, the producers, Excel Entertainment, have decided that the kiss will not be toned down. A source close to the film said, “Hrithik has no problems with the kiss. If he had, would he have done it? Ditto for Katrina. So why tone it down? Isn’t today’s youth bold in their actions? So why be squeamish?”
Added the source, “Yes, Excel Entertainment did have meetings in debating whether the kiss needs to be toned down. Some people in their circle even wanted it to be deleted as it is just too steamy. But majority of the members who participated in the debate were against tampering with the original draft.”
So there we have it, after locking lips with Aishwarya Rai (Dhoom) and Barbara Mori (Kites), we will see Hrithik Roshan smooching Katrina too. For three steamy minutes. Source

Hrithik & Katrina Had To Shoot On A Nude Beach In Spain

Imagine what happens when the hottest Indian stars, Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, shoot on a nude beach! The duo had a tough time shooting on the Lloret De Mar, Costa Brava beach in Spain for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara . And before you assume anything… they were fully clothed!
When Hrithik and Katrina along with Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol were told by director Zoya Akhtar that they had to shoot on the beach for two days continuously, they were fine with it until they reached the location. It is Katrina’s introductory shot. The three boys see her for the first time on the beach and Farhan walks up to strike a conversation with her.
When Zoya had done a recce for the film 6-8 months before the shoot, the beach was nearly empty. So she did not anticipate any problems. However the scene was being shot during vacation time when there were a lot of people roaming in nude on the nude and it became problematic to film the scene.
A unit-member from the film’s crew says, “The beach is mesmerizing with white sand and Zoya Akhtar was sure she wanted to capture this in her film. But when the cast and crew reached on the location they felt awkward. They felt overtly clad and rather odd amongst the rest on the beach who were nude. Moreover the unit had to ensure that nobody comes into their frame”.
“However within couple of hours the unit forgot where they were shooting and got down to work. It was really crazy at the beginning with no one knowing where to frame, where to sit and where to put things. But after shooting among the Adams and Eves for 12 hours, we all got used to the scenes in front of us.”
Ask Zoya Akhtar about this particular scene and she reminisces, “It was a task to ensure that that no one else was in frame, as we did not want to go under the scanner of the censor board. So the entire crew was on high alert”.
The unit-member adds, “It was a beautiful white sand beach and even though they could make-do by shooting elsewhere, logistically this beach was most convenient.”  Source

It just shows you can achieve anything with determination, grit and passion. Those contestants are really lucky to be mentored by him,” she adds.
Speaking about Hrithik’s HR locket that has caught her fancy, the fashion-conscious actress says, “I would love to own that HR locket.”

Sanjay Dutt Speaks On His Gym Partner, Hrithik Roshan

Sanjay Dutt admits that he is working out with actor Hrithik Roshan these days, and has renewed ties from the time they last did a film together in Mission Kashmir.
“It’s such a pleasure to work out with Hrithik,” says Sanjay, who has taken to the gym with a vengeance. He says that he has been giving a lot of strenuous exercises for Hrithik to follow and was amazed to see the younger actor perform it effortlessly.
“We’ve been sharing exercising tips with each other. I was quite surprised to see how effortlesslyhe took to some of the workouts that I suggested, and they were not easy ones. He is quite a sincere and fast learner. He is as passionate about his workouts as he is about his acting,” says Sanjay, who’s been working out with Hrithik for about a month now.
Since Hrithik has worked on Dutt’s workout tips, would Dutt do the same by shaking a leg with the nimble feet dancer. “I am not going to dance with him. I am no match for him. I feel he is the best dancer among all the leading actors that we have today and I am not going to dance with him at all!” laughs Dutt.
The actor says that he is so fond of Hrithik’s dancing that he kept aside his work and caught up with the dance reality show that Hrithik as hosting. “Watching him emerge out of a water fountain (in his show) was absolutely mesmerizing. He is the perfect choice for a dance reality show. I have been a fan of his dancing right from the time I saw him in the song ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena’ (film Kaho Naa Pyar Hai). I remember seeing him as a kid when I used to meet (filmmaker) Rakesh Roshan, but we didn’t interact then. It was only when we did the film Mission Kashmir (where Hrithik played Sanju’s son) that we bonded a lot on the sets,” he adds.
As an actor, the one thing about Hrithik that impressed Sanjay the most was that he did not flinch one bit in doing retakes over retakes on the sets of the film that they are currently shooting together. “There were so many retakes and he was giving as many re-takes as needed and that to with equal amount of gusto and energy. Well, it’s good to see him, and may be we can all learn a thing or two from him as an actor and a performer,” he ends. Source

Hrithik Roshan Plans For KITES 2?

With back-to-back failure in KITES and GUZAARISH, Hrithik Roshan had purposefully taken a backseat, but it appears that once again the superhero is back to doing what he is best at, hogging the limelight and being the centre of attention of the media as well as the public. The reason behind this is of course his active participation in the promotion of his latest movie, Zoya Akhtar’s ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA, and his first dance reality show on television which seems to have generated a lot of hype, and of course not to forget his KRRISH 2 (where he reportedly essays a triple role), which is all set to go on the floors.
While talking to the press during the promotion of ZNMD, Hrithik revealed that he had spent a lot of time analyzing the failure of KITES and it has definitely matured him, and after a lot of deliberations and thinking he realized that KITES was ahead of it’s times. The superhero also made a startling declaration that somewhere down the years; say five to six years he would be game enough to try another film along the same lines, quite like KITES, because he was quite sure that the audience would be mature enough to accept such a film.
Well, that’s indeed quite a brave declaration from the superstar and teaches people to learn something positive from their failure and not to let it affect them in any way. Source

Hrithik Roshan - The Ultimate Dancing Sensation

Hrithik Roshan is synonymous with precise and impressive dance moves. Set to make his small screen debut with a dance reality show, he feels honoured when seen as a symbol for dance in the country.
“I find every dance difficult. Whenever I start rehearsals, I start from zero and I feel that I can’t do this. Then I slowly learn. I’m no God of dance, but I’m very happy with the fact that I have become a symbol for dance and that through me, so many other talented Gods of dance will get an opportunity,” Hrithik told reporters.
Hrithik will judge Star Plus’ reality show “Just Dance”, going on air on Saturday.
Happy to be considered dance symbol: Hrithik
“I’m blessed that I have become a symbol for something that stands for such a great talent. But I’m not the best dancer in the country, city or my neighbourhood. I’m just a very hardworking dancer,” he added.

Asked how he manages so many things together, Hrithik said: “The definition of a successful man is not depending on how much money a person has earned or how much fame he has, it is about how he manages his time.”
“If you are a slave to your time, then you can’t be successful man. The person who takes out time for everything he wants to do, that person is truly successful. Time management is important. It’s an everyday practice that I’m learning and I need to keep at it. There are too many things happening so I need to improve my time management techniques,” he added. Source
