Hrithik Roshan was speaking a media portal recently recently when he argued that being a star is a burden.
Hrithik Roshan made a big comment recently when he said that he would shine as an actor if he did not have the burden of being a star. Shahid Kapoor has now reacted to it. In a recent promotional interview for his upcoming movie, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Shahid talked about Hrithik’s statement and shared that he would never let the actor in him go away at the cost of stardom.
What Did Shahid Kapoor Say On Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Star’ Comment?
Shahid Kapoor was speaking to Film Companion when he said, “I have the opposite problem. I do not want to lose the actor in me. So sometimes, I sacrifice stardom. I think I am on the other side of the fence. I have the opposite problem. I am like, ‘Yeah, I know what he is saying, I get it because sometimes it is like that’. It is also the nature of films that we do, the choices we make, the graph that each one of us chooses. I think, in that, his journey is very different to mine.”
The actor cited examples of Amitabh Bachchan and Dilip Kumar to explain that he would never choose stardom above acting. “There are enough examples where there is definite stardom and there are heavy acting jobs. I have grown up watching that and I aspire for that. I would not let the actor in me go. That’s not just something I would do. I won’t,” he added.
What Had Hrithik Roshan Said?
Hrithik Roshan was also speaking to the Film Companion recently when he argued that being a star is a burden. “When you got to take up the job of a star, it is unhealthy actually in many many ways,” Hrithik said. “The star is the responsibility. I am very grateful for it, don’t get me wrong, I am very thankful this is something I cherish. I know it’s been given to me, it’s a gift but it’s a burden that I carry. And, I have to work very hard to thrive. I don’t want to survive I wanna thrive in it, but it’s a journey. As an actor I feel very, very relaxed when there are no expectations,” the actor added.
