He may be drop-dead gorgeous, but it turns out that Hrithik Roshan is a bit of a weakling! Try telling him that, though, when he’s filming his action scenes!
Despite several warnings, the actor pushed himself to new limits for Krrish and Dhoom 2 which resulated in a torn ligament. In what was a display of a sickeningly macho attitude about enduring pain, he rubbished doctors advice to rest. “I basically succumbed to the notion that we’re all heroes and pain doesn’t matter,” said Hrithik, describing how he strapped his knee to complete shots. “I understand now how foolish I have been.”
As we type, Hritihik is on his way to Singapore where he’s said to undergo six long weeks of physiotherapy. “I am giving my health prior importance now,” he added.
He will return in January for the release of his new historical movie “Jodha Akbar” based on a romance between the 16th century Muslim Mughal emperor Akbar, played by Hrithik, and a Hindu princess, Jodha Bai, played by Aishwarya Rai.
On a totally different note, how hot is he in these pictures!

The always chirpy Preity Zinta has found herself feeling unusually low while filming for Deepa Metha’s ‘Heaven On Earth.’ The film is a real-life story of a battered Punjabi wife who bore years of domestic violence. After making a documentary on her harrowing tale, director Mehta decided to turn the story into a film and was hell bent on Preity playing the lead role.
Soon after, Preity was whisked away to Toronto where she began filming for the Punjabi/English flick. Quickly settled into her role, the vivacious actress is now having a hard time snapping out of character and often finds herself in desperate need of some mommy love!
In fact, things had gotten so bad that Mama Zinta was forced to hop on a flight to Toronto. “It was mom’s birthday on November 30, so she came over with my brother and niece for two days. That really helped me to re-connect with my real life, to appreciate how lucky I am to have a career without losing out on my family,” says Preity.
“I am in an alien environment, shooting a bleak life with a crew and way of working that’s totally new to me. Here I am no star, just a member of the cast. Saturdays and Sundays are off. But I can’t snap out of the character. I just sit in my hotel pouring over my lines,” sighed Preity.
