Hrithik Roshan is one of the fittest actors in Bollywood and is known for his body transformations in films. Recently, he had to change his appearance three times for Siddharth Anand’s Fighter. First to see if he is still capable before shooting begins, then during shooting, and finally in between takes where he has to get back into shape as quickly as possible. The actor, who follows a strict diet and rigorous exercise regime, took to social media on Wednesday to talk about how true strength is in accepting help when you need it and embracing vulnerability. He wrote an anecdote about his grandfather, who refused to use a wheelchair at the airport to maintain his strong image. He felt sad to see Hrithik hiding his fear. He posted a photo of himself on crutches with a lengthy caption. He revealed he had pulled a muscle.
The post read: “Good afternoon. How many of you have ever needed a cane or a wheelchair and how does that make you feel? I remember my grandfather refusing to sit in a wheelchair at the airport because it didn’t fit his idea of ”strong” image. I remember saying: “But Deda, this is just an injury and has nothing to do with your age!” This will help heal the wound instead of damaging it further! “It makes me so sad to see how strong he has to be to hide the fear and embarrassment he feels inside. I can’t understand it. Makes me feel helpless. I don’t think the age factor applies because he needs a wheelchair due to his injury, not his Old age. He refused and presented the strong image to strangers (who couldn’t care less). This aggravated his pain and delayed healing. This conditioning certainly has its merits, it is a virtue. This is what a soldier is mentality. My father came from the same condition. Men are strong.”
He wrote that he thought it was rather foolish for anyone to suggest that soldiers should never use crutches, even if they need them for medical reasons, just to appear strong. “But if you’re saying that soldiers never need crutches, and even if they medically need them, they have to refuse them just to keep the illusion of toughness intact, then I just think that virtue has been stretched to the edge of stupidity. I believe that. True power is being relaxed, calm and fully aware that nothing, not a cane, not a wheelchair, not any inability or fragility – and certainly no position of sitting can diminish or change the image of the giant within you. Power is not always about being a Rambo, Holding a machine gun and saying “Fuck them! “Against all odds.
This certainly applies. sometimes. It’s the kind we all crave. Even me.
But what is even more coveted is the strength when there is no one outside to fight against. It’s the silent internal battle between you and your “image.” If you come out of that feeling and want to do a slow dance on your own, you’re my hero,” he added.
He concluded by writing that he was recovering from a muscle strain. He wrote: “Anyway, pulled a muscle yesterday and woke up trying to understand the concept of strength. This is of course a larger topic and the crutch is just a metaphor. If you get it, you get it.”
