Bollywood producer Pritish Nandy is not too pleased with Hrithik Roshan’s ‘brainless money’ comment

Hrithik Roshan recently called out a professor for shaming a student who stutters. In his tweet the actor wrote, “Please tell your cousin that that professor and his judgement both are irrelevant. Stuttering should never hold him back from dreaming BIG ! Tell him it’s NOT his fault and it’s NOT something he needs to be ashamed of. People who shame him are no better than brainless monkeys.”

However Hrithik referring the professor to a ‘brainless monkey’ has not gone down well with filmmaker Pritish Nandy, who asked the actor use some other example.“To be honest , monkeys are more humane than humans, more brainy too. This is species arrogance, Hrithik. Choose another simile,” he wrote. This conversation began when a user had written to the ‘Kaabil’ actor about a child being bullied by a professor for ‘stuttering’.
The actor also faced a speech disorder in his earlier days. Speaking about the same Hrithik had told Mumbai Mirror in an interview, “The unacceptability to stammering was not only bothersome in my childhood but prevailed till 2012, long after I had become a film star. I’d practise every day to overcome the speech issue, I still do for an hour at least so that I can control the secondary actions like twitching and all.”
