Hrithik Roshan recently posted a picture of himself on Instagram, where he can be seen standing with the help of crutches.
He penned a long note for his fans which is inspiring and true. He said, “Good afternoon. How many of you out there ever needed to be on crutches or a wheelchair and how did that make you feel? I remember my grandfather refusing to sit on a wheelchair at the airport because it wouldn’t align with his own mental image of himself as “strong”. I remember saying “But Deda, its just an injury and nothing to do with how old you are! It will help heal the injury and not damage it further!”
He further talks about the notion of “strong” and how men are conditioned to be strong, but he feels this mentality is wrong. He adds, “I believe true strength is being relaxed, composed and fully aware that nothing, not crutches, not a wheelchair, not any inability or vulnerability- and certainly not any sitting position can lessen or alter the image of that GIANT you are inside.”
His post gives a keen insight on strength, its not only the outside that matters, the inside strength is what we all need. He concluded his post by writing, “Anyways, pulled a muscle yesterday, woke up wanting to reach out about this notion of strength. This is of course bigger conversation, the crutches is just a metaphor. If you get it, you get it.”
He was last seen in the movie Fighter that will release on OTT soon.
