Hrithik Roshan is currently gearing up for his next film
Super 30, a biographical drama based on the life of mathematician Anand Kumar
and his educational programme.
In a latest chat, Hrithik opened up about his father Rakesh
Roshan, who was diagnosed with cancer in January. He revealed, “In my father’s
generation, a man was taught that masculinity meant being a rock. That a father
is someone who is very strong and never expresses his vulnerability. Tears, we
were taught, are feminine. But being a student of life, I have learned that
strength does not mean the absence of tears. I realised that my dad had held
way too much inside of him and I felt it was unhealthy.”
He continued to speak about his father’s fight with the
disease and revealed, “Having been through all that he has, one day I pushed
him to express what he has been feeling. And I could see how impossible it was
for him to let go of that strength. But eventually one day, he broke down
completely. I hugged him and we both let the tears flow. Ironically, even at
that time he was switching between breaking down on my shoulder and consoling
me as a strong father. We all felt so much stronger after that release. We must
learn to express ourselves as human beings openly. Not just the popular
emotions, but all emotions.”
