When I'm not wearing makeup, when I'm not in front of the camera, I can be just Hrithik. I can sit with my watchman or with the spot boy and chat with him. I do that. Which is why I am able to differentiate between the person I am and the persona that is projected. It's not the person people are crazy about, it's the persona, it's the magic of the movies and you have to understand that.

Do I look like a sex-symbol or a pin-up boy? It's just that my father presented me like a dream.

My parents through to my grandparents have seen and experienced all shades of life, the good and the bad, and they always faced every situation fearlessly. We share a unified bond which I also instil in my own family and it is with all of this that I am able to go out and do good work.

Good looks should never become a part of your internal character.

My father is an absolute inspiration and such a gifted filmmaker. I have learned and continue to learn so much from him.

The more you practive overcoming your obstacles, the more you will welcome them & be unafraid.

The biggest superpower you can have is the ability to change your own life. It’s in your hands, and if you believe that you can get the power you want, you can do whatever you wish to do.
