When Hrithik Roshan talked about his traumatic childhood

The ‘War 2’ star Hrithik Roshan has always been very candid about his stuttering. While interacting with the media on several occasions, he never shied away from sharing the tough times he saw because of his stammering.


In an old interview with the Indian Express, Hrithik confessed that during his school days, his stuttering reached a point where he couldn’t speak. Today, surrounded by fans, the actor said that back then he had no friends or girlfriend. “I was very shy and would come back from school and just cry,” he told the news portal.

In addition to his stammering issue, young Hrithik had a problem with his spine. The doctors told him he cannot be an actor, and he cannot dance. Seeing his future going into the dark right in front of his eyes, Hrithik was shattered. “It was so heartbreaking and relieving that feeling of knowing that I could not become an actor…I am disabled. So it was very traumatising,” said the actor.

His father, Rakesh Roshan, also spoke about Hrithik’s condition in his recent interview with ANI. To see his son struggle, Rakesh Roshan was heartbroken as well. Recalling the challenging time, Rakesh Roshan shared that once, when Hrithik was in Dubai and wanted to say, ‘Thank you, Dubai,’ he couldn’t, as he got stuck on ‘D’.

“He locked himself in the bathroom to learn that sentence,” said the filmmaker.
