I feel comfortable with Esha: Hrithik

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">hrithik roshan, actor, on the course of his celluloid career <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">what is your role in na tum jaano na hum (ntjnh) all about? </span>in this film, i play a rather sensitive character called rahul who is practical, but also a dreamer. although rahul believes in the magic of love, he has never actually been in love. but this doesn’t stop him from believing that his dream girl is waiting for him somewhere. later, when he does meet this girl, both are driven by the heart and not the head. <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">what was it like working with esha deol in ntjnh? </span>esha is a great person and i felt very comfortable working with her. being very spontaneous creativity-wise, esha should surprise many as her career moves forward. initially, since she was a newcomer, i used to offer her friendly advice, but slowly, as shooting progressed, she came up with an outstanding performance. <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">what kind of a person is hrithik roshan in real life? </span>i am rather like ntjnh’s rahul in real life. at times, i am very spontaneous and often get carried away by the dictates of the heart. however, i do know that reality is very different from the world of make-believe and realise that one cannot afford to be just a romantic — there is the need to be practical as well. <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">having worked with a number of co-stars, could you pinpoint an actor who has left an impression on you?</span> i think shah rukh khan is just perfect as an actor. he gives his co-stars a lot of space. i felt very comfortable working with him in k3g and look forward to doing so again. i didn’t get to work much with amitabh bachchan, but he is definitely a class apart. <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">would you say that you have been greatly influenced by your father, rakesh roshan? </span>i have learnt a lot from my father’s films, be it kamchor, dhanwan, khoobsurat or aap ke diwane. maybe, subconsciously, i am driven by what i have learnt from him — hard work, honesty, dedication and the fact that ups and downs are a part of life. but, at the end of the day, i let my own instincts guide me. <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">if not an actor, what would you have been? </span>i would have been associated with anything related to films. i don’t know, but i might just have become a nutritionist or, perhaps, a health instructor. the fact is that i love eating ‘healthy’ food. </div> </div>
