Hrithik Roshan’s favourite cheat meal is ‘samosa’

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has opened up about the importance of family, his favorite cheat meal, and the activity, he enjoys indulging in during his free time.

Talking about the importance of family in the actor’s life, he said live on Roposo’s show ‘Red Carpet Premiere: “Family is life. It is what makes me – ME. The family is the people I enjoy my life with and to enjoy that life I go to work.”

“I go to work, build things there and bring it back to my world so that I can enjoy it with my people. Family is the most important for me.”

The actor further emphasized his philosophy of maintaining a work-life balance and having a strong mindset of not mixing family and work.

Pointing out that ‘Vikram Vedha marks Hrithik’s 25th film as an actor, he was asked about his favorite on-screen character.

Hrithik said: “Very very difficult question. If I had to say which character I had the most fun doing, that would be a tough choice between Kabir (War 2019) and Vedha (Vikram Vedha 2022). They both were equally stimulating.”

Speaking about the activity he enjoys indulging in during his free time, Hrithik said: “I like to read in my free time. I love finding a place where I can just sit and read. When I read it means that I am stressed free, I can’t read if I’m in character for my films or attending to work commitments. I can only read when my mind is absolutely free. It’s an activity that I cherish.”

Hrithik who is known to be a disciplined fitness enthusiast spoke about his favorite food & go-to cheat meal.

“It has got to be samosa, and specifically the ones that you get in theatres. It’s amazing how many I can eat at one time,” said the actor.

The actor was seen at his candid best as he named and proceeded to sing one of his favorite songs – ‘Gore gore banke chhore’ sung by Amirbai Karnataki & Lata Mangeshkar from the 1950 film ‘Samadhi’.

Signing off, Hrithik shared: “My next film is Fighter. It is starting in November and is directed by Siddharth Anand. Currently, I’m prepping for the film and I’m confused & uncertain about what can I do with my character. The search is on.”

She also revealed how people taunted her by saying that she was using deviated septum as an excuse to fix her nose.

She further mentioned, “And people are like she’s just using the deviated septum excuse. No, I did have a deviated septum, it hurt. But if I could make it prettier, it’s my face, why wouldn’t I? It was that simple.”

In addition, she also spoke about getting fillers and said that it is her body and those who want to do something to it or don’t want to do something, it is their choice just like it was hers.

Amitabh Bachchan’s saved from the Bofors case, law organization has completed its 40th anniversary.

Zaiwalla & co, which was the first Indian-owned city of London legal practitioner,  completed the 40th anniversary of its formation at a reception at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum on Wednesday evening.

Film star Amitabh Bachchan and his brother Ajitabh were in Bofor’s case, The firm, which is established by Mumbai-born Sarosh Zaiwalla in 1990, dealt with that case, then it came to fame in India.

The Bachchans received illegal money to buy field guns for the Indian Army from AB Bofors, a Swedish manufacturer, in the deal, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported. So The Bachchans had slandered the reports for defamation.

After a dramatic hearing, the Bachchans won, thereby not just exonerating themselves, but Gandhi, who on news media had been virtually accused of corruption or at least being aware of wrongdoing. He denied the charge and the matter never came to court, before being abandoned by the BJP-led government of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Gandhi was killed by a Sri Lankan Tamil suicide bomber in 1991.

More recently, Zaiwalla & Co has been in the news taking up cudgels for the Venezuelan central bank against its British counterpart the Bank of England (BoE) to reclaim $1.95 billion worth of gold deposited with the latter. The dispute will be heard on appeal by Zaiwalla in the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court. India, too, has gold in safekeeping with the BoE.

Gopi Hinduja, co-chairman of the London-based Hinduja Group, who 32 years ago asked Zaiwalla to represent the Bachchans, was the chief guest at the reception. Speaking at the function, he said: “The FTA (free trade agreement being negotiated between Britain and India) will make it very easy for Indian law firms to work here as well as British law firms to work in India.”

Among the many prominent figures who attended the celebration the one who caused the most flutter was Indian businessman Vijay Mallya, who is fighting against extradition sought by the Narendra Modi government to India. He claimed his now-defunct Kingfisher Airline – whose failure got him into difficulty – has repaid more than it owed Indian banks as a result of Indian law enforcement agencies auctioning his assets in India.

Don’t take your disputes to third person, Vijay Antony tells families

Popular actor and music director Vijay Antony has urged families not to take their disputes to a third person and instead look to resolve them themselves.

Taking to Twitter, the actor wrote in Tamil, “If you have a problem in your family, as far as possible, look to keep the fight amongst yourselves. If not, leave and depart.
