When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is run on a treadmill for half an hour on an empty stomach.
I am doing this job because: That’s what I do best!
Earliest childhood memory: My dad trying to teach me how to ride a bicycle.

For my breakfast I usually have four egg whites and one egg yolk, a toast and a glass of Myoplex.
My lunch comprises Dal and some Sabzi. I enjoy eating vegetarian food sent from home. Sometimes there is pasta.
Once in a week I freak out on all sorts of fried food- French Fries, Potato chips and biryanis. Also pizza’s and Mc Donald’s burgers.
I snack on protein bars and health food like soya chaklis and stuff like that.
Last CD you bought: Koi Mil Gaya! I was in Ladakh when the music released so I went and bought it from the market there.
First poster you put up on your wall: Rocky!
Worst item of clothing you ever bought: I don’t buy my own clothes. It’s eother mom,Suzanne or Rocky S. So of I don’t like anything I return it right back!
Most embarrassing thing you have done recently: Sometime back I entered Maurya Sheraton in Delhi and there was this bunch of girls. As soon as they saw me they screamed and yelled. And all I did was bow politely and say, “Thank you!” As soon as I turned I realized how silly that must have sounded!
Wackiest dream you’ve had: We were shooting in Ladakh for Farhan’s Laksh and one night I dreamt that all of us,the cast, Sharad, Zutshi, Sushant are robbing a bank! Zutshi gets killed and I get shot.Amidst all this , I am giving sermons that yeh achi baat nahi hai; we should not loot the bank! I thought it was really weird, but maybe the effect of shooting war scenes during the day led to the bank robbery!
Have you ever broken law? Oh yes a couple of times! In fact my driver broke six signals everyday when I was late to school! I have always got caught whenever I broke the signal.
Funny incident you’ve had with the traffic police: I had tinted glasses om my car and a cop stopped my driver and he was very angry. I popped my head out and said it was for security. To begin with, he did not recognize me and kept arguing while the other cop with him kept nudging him, whispering my name. when he realized who I was, he said, `Kya saab aapne bataya kyon nahin’. I smiled, ` Main kya bataoon aap toh mujhe dekh rahe hein!’
Laughteris: The way to get through tough times in life.
Tears to me are: A sign of good times ahead.
Describe yourself in one word: That’s a tough one! I really cant do that, it’s very hard to describe myself. Infact I am still getting to know myself!
I am a good boy because: I give people the benefit of doubt, I don’t go on hearsay and I believe in the inherent goodness of every human being.

Hrithik Quotes
– On the contrary, I feel the younger is level-headed and practical in their relationships. They believe in giving each other breathing space, and that’s why most relationships succeed today
” Three years ago too, I’d won two trophies-for Best Newcomer and Best Actor-for Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai. But this year’s awards made me even happier. I’ve created history of sorts with them. I don’t think anyone has won two awards each for the same performance in two separate years. ”
” When the cover of a magazine claimed me ‘Finished’ the edition completely sold out and the same magazine used my face on its cover in the next two issues.”
” I went into the theatre as a nobody, walked in with the crowd and couldn’t walk out. I was mobbed; there was a stampede in the theatre. They had to call the security, the cops. It was crazy. I didn’t know what had hit me.”
” Please don’t make my face the biggest one in the banner if I’m not playing the central character. I think its wrong to fool the audience by saying Hrithik Roshan is the hero, come and watch the film. That’s cheating.”
” I was raised to the level of the best and the most famous without anybody being responsible enough to judge whether it was deserved or not!”
” It was the media which overexposed me and now it’s the media which is saying I’m overexposed! It’s quite a laugh. How can you stop people from writing about you?”
” At that time, the big news for the media was the underdog beat the superstar! And now it makes for great news that the underdog they thought was a god, is not a god after all. He is nothing, just a mere mortal and the superstar is still a superstar. ”
” I think its important to have the looks to some extent but its what’s inside you which people get to see and that’s what makes someone popular or unpopular. So I think it’s not the looks in my case but it’s my work as an artist, which has earned me the respect of the people at large.”
” It’s a great feeling when you know so many people love you in so many ways. At times I feel uncomfortable, particularly when I forget that’s it me they want the attention from but on the other hand it’s nice to be recognized by so many people around the world for your work.”
” It’s the survival of the fittest and I have a very strong survival instinct. A true hero is one who rises after every fall and well I’ve always wanted to be a hero so I’ll keep trying.”
” I believe God exists because He gives me signs. You can call it a coincidence but I consider them signs. I am not superstitious but I keep looking for signs. And at those times when I have asked for a sign with all my heart, I have usually got it. That could because of the child inside me. It’s fun to believe in these, so why stop?”
” Life was tough for me. When I was a kid, nobody played with me because they thought I looked ugly with my extra thumb. It pained me. So once I thought of getting it surgically removed. … But I didn’t. Slowly, I realized that the exterior is not the criterion for love and success. ”
” If it’s in my destiny to be a one-film wonder I can’t do anything about it. But no man or magazine can make or break a person’s career.”
” I’ve always been thankful to all my critics for giving me something to fight for and for keeping me motivated. I hold no grudges.”
” I enjoy the fact that nothing is for certain (in the film industry). That if you deserve it you will get it. If you work 200 hundred percent and still haven’t got it, maybe it required 300 per cent! You just didn’t give enough. That’s my motto that I kept with me since I joined the industry. ”
