WATCH: Hrithik Roshan posts a picture in crutches post an injury, says 'It made me so sad to see how...'
Actor Hrithik Roshan on Wednesday said he pulled a muscle yesterday and the injury made him reflect on the “notion of strength”.
The 50-year-old star shared his mirror selfie on social media in which he can be seen standing with the support of crutches.
He penned a long note that read- “Good afternoon. How many of you out there ever needed to be on crutches or a wheelchair n 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 n not damage it further!” It made me so sad to see how strong he needed to be just to hide the fear n embarrassment on the inside.”
The actor added, “I couldn’t make sense of it. Made me feel helpless. I argued that the age factor is not applicable cause he needs the wheelchair for an injury and not his old age. He refused n kept the strong image on display for strangers (who literally didn’t care). It worsened his pain and delayed the healing. There definitely is merit in that kind of conditioning, its a virtue. It’s the mentality of a soldier. My dad comes from the same conditioning. MEN are strong.”
Soon after Hrithik shared the post, social media was abuzz with fans and well wishers wishing for Hrithik’s speedy recovery.
