Despite being a busy man, Hrithik Roshan always manages to
find time with his sons - Hrehaan and Hridhan.
Recently, Hrithik opened up about his kids. When questioned
what freedoms do the kids get for being his son, Hrithik told, "It’s not a
privilege to be born as a rich and famous man’s kid, mostly it’s a
disadvantage. You tend to become lazy and complacent and used to luxury. Where
Hrehaan and Hridhaan are privileged is in their being born to a father who has
experienced ups and downs and acquired a humble sense of life and the world.
And if you have space, these few additions are also great."
When enquired how his experience of being Rakesh Roshan's
son influenced his own teaching methods, Hrithik revealed, “We are all products
of the degree of evolution of society that determines our own individual state
of mind,” he told and added, “When I was growing up, society said a lot of things
were taboo for children. I remember watching Superman with my father. He asked
me to shut my eyes when Superman kisses Lois Lane! Being told kissing is bad,
intimacy is a no-no, creates a negative emotion in growing kids. They become
determined to see more of it or do it themselves secretly. This causes fear and
anxiety in their relationships. They believe they’re doing something bad or
wrong when they’re with a girl. I tell my kids kissing is a most beautiful
thing and they should not be hidden from it. There’s no need to protect them
from visions of love. Yes, I would not allow them to see any depiction of love
in a crude way. Or if it was vulgar and abusive. But Spiderman kissing his
girlfriend upside down is beautiful, it’s meant to be enjoyed, not be
restricted.”
He was also questioned on if he were a strict parent or a bumchum and
the actor responded, "Both. I make sure they take responsibility for their
decisions. I guide them but I don’t stop them. I want their decisions to be
their own. I’m there to pick them up. One of our greatest weaknesses is our
inability to take strong decisions. I’m making sure they develop that
strength."
