Hrithik Roshan on turning 49: Birthdays earlier came with a slight sense of discomfort

Today marks Hrithik Roshan's birthday, and he has a lot to be happy about. He is without a doubt one of the best actors in the country. His role in Vikram Vedha was one of the best of 2022, and he is now ready to wow audiences with Fighter, India's first airborne action comedy.

The actor describes how he has always chosen quality over quantity by only taking on projects that he truly wanted to do and by never compromising on a strong script. As a result of this inspiration and insight, which also permeate his personal life, the actor now views his birthday as a chance to spend time doing the things that make him happy.

When asked if birthdays still make him happy, Hrithik stated that they used to, but that they had gradually become a chore, an obligation, something he had to celebrate and party for. A slight unease always accompanied birthdays for the actor. Today, however, the actor sees it as a chance to spend time doing things that would make him happy. He might still carry out the same actions, but now he does so voluntarily and with a sense of fulfilment rather than because he feels he has to.

Thanks to his sprinkles of humour, dollop of wisdom, and a real and approachable perspective on everyday life, Hrithik consistently keeps it real on and off screen and has become one of the most well-liked personalities on social media.

When one asks the actor what he has learned most in his 49 years, he responds quickly by saying that at the summit of the pyramid, where they eventually aspire to be after finishing all the work for the day, peace is not there. In reality, it serves as the foundation for all actions taken at all times. They must begin with peace, and peace should be the very first state of being.

Hrithik, who received acclaim for his performance in Vikram Vedha, now makes history in 2023 with Fighter, his first film with Deepika Padukone.
