My films are my life and I am using it as a channel to be happy and give happiness to everyone
- Hrithik Roshan By Lipika Varma
Hrithik’s Roshan's mantra to success against all recent odds is his individualistic interpretations and the strength to go on unstoppable- Hrithik’s exclusive rendezvous with Lipika Varma follows-
Hrithik’s pure feelings of giving to others,”“I do not do films for money. Through this medium I can give something to my people. It is always better not to bother about having your own cup filled up to the brim. I opine that in this one life time I can give something more to people all over the World which will indeed inspire them. I never do anything merely which will just be considered a trend setting mode. I like to focus more on this medium in order to be able to give a little happiness, which may bring smiles onto the faces of the people. .My aim is always to give a good film “
Adding about Bang Bang he says,” When I signed the film, I never expected it to be high on action film. Slowly and gradually the film turned to be an intense action film, I was not worried about performing the action myself. While The director decided on a body double-I started telling him that I can do this ….and so finally I did all the action sequences. I was not worried about being a prey to any accident during the filming of all those action scenes as my staff and my family members were all there to see to my safety measures. I am happy to watch the first teaser…after all I am receiving so much of love for my pains taking efforts..It really brings tons of joy when I get so much of love from my fans and folks all over.”
Updating about his illness and tough days he says,” Yes! I wanted to make BB one of my best films. I reached late on the shoot. Actually, I would have a severe headache. I  Could hardly speak ,My own vocals would make me feel miserable as though someone is striking back .I did not know whether to laugh or cry …I could neither do so. But I soon realized that instead of sitting and asking questions like …Why me? I need to get up and go ahead in life. In fact after watching lot on geographical channel, I could boost my morals. Especially-after watching -how after a calf being killed his mother had to move on with the herd this was the Nature’s biggest lessons I learned. We need to go on with life, leaving all the bitter experiences and be able to learn, also by giving more to people. Having such attitude in life, I am sure we get the best and remain satisfied with our lives in the bargain. The bad things need not be given a chair to sit on. We need not loose hopes while the life takes over the dark U turn. You need to remain happy in every given situation. It’s like you may stand in front of the Tiger and feel you’re a vegetarian so he will not eat you up…..Whatever story I have for myself in my mind I need to go ahead and make it successful…don’t give up …and success will be all yours.” I am very satisfied now. I don’t look where I go. My next step is what I am going to do and how I will make others happy in my life.  Life is not a business. My desire is to find a way of life.  Life is beautiful and there are bad things happening, If you are not focused on yourself nothing good will happen in your life.  Everyone has a bad story in his life. My films are my life and I am using it as a channel to be happy and give happiness to everyone around.
Happy about his kids’ response to his teasers he adds,” I am happy that for the first time they are able to focus on the visuals. They have liked me in the promos .For the first time as a father getting appreciations from my kids I feel I am providing something to them as a father which makes them happy. I feel like proud father.”
Nothing is easy says Hrithik,” Everything is difficult…we have to show love, action and drama on the reel. I feel all of us have our own strong points .I do things with instinctive quality of mine. My instinctive strengths are my honest interpretations. I always remain calm …it’s like the storm being around me, at that point of time I like to do things peacefully. Everyone likes to do it their own way differently. I may fear only when I will compare myself with Tom Cruise. He may, go his flamboyant way. He could say a dialogue in his own way ….but I will like to do it my way. Therefore instinctive individualistic feelings help you perform your way and it is appreciated. Initially, when I was to perform like Michael Jackson I feared being compared. But then I thought to myself-I idolized MJ, so why this fear? His way of gestures may be in a particular way, while mine in my way. Trust me I have not watched his single video. Thus the fear of comparisons with MJ disappeared from within me because I love him and I need to do my steps to show my love to him with my consistent character. You need to believe in yourself.
“Talking about the love of music Hrithik says,” I love to hear melodious soothing numbers from yester year films. Whenever I am busy doing my exercises I hear to my Uncle’s music it gives me intense soothing feel. I happily enjoy those numbers. But lately while travelling by my car I hear to the Bang Bang title track and another song”Uff” which will soon be releasing.”
All praises for Katrina he says,” This is my third film with her. She is a go getter. She never leaves any stone unturned. Being determined to the core she definitely works very hard. She is like a laborer when it comes to work. She never lives in a house of glass…she will do anything…any tough actions or steps in order to get that perfection.”
About chemistry Hrithik feels, “Chemistry of two actors is the vision of the director. Whatever he has put up on the paper it is through that perfect writing do we actors can match to our chemistry. It’s the desired inspiration of the director and the honest efforts of us actors that the chemistry on screen looks perfect and mind blowing. We as actors need to give our best for the visual medium we are working for.”
Working for Ashutosh’s “Mohenjo Daro he says,” Ashutosh came to me the next time after a few years, it is then I found the changes in the script, these changes were really stimulating. I agreed to do the film. Also I feel this is the right time for me to work with Ashutosh, I love working with him. Being a period film and with the efforts of every detailing of Ashutosh who is passionate about his work I know the film will create History on its own. With his incredible determinations and overcoming all the difficulties, I am all excited to work with him.
Last but not the least,” It is great that Priyanka did it with heels on. I want my friends also to go ahead and perform headstand stunts. Mein akela kyun karun hum sb mil kar karei!! I loved to dare and all my friends also need to dare it.”

Hrithik Roshan isn’t a Greek God DC | Lipika Varma | October 02, 2014, 00.10 am IST

Hrithik Roshan isn’t a Greek God


DC | Lipika Varma | October 02, 2014, 00.10 am IST
Hrithik Roshan.
Hrithik Roshan.
Mumbai: As good-looking as a Greek God... Only one person in Bollywood can stake a claim to be that Hrithik Roshan. But ahead of his release, Bang Bang, the actor jokes, “When I landed in Greece, I was expecting people to come forward and recognize me as a “Greek God”. But since no one did so, I feel sab mujhe jhut mein hi Greek God bulate hain.”

‘It’s about giving back’
“I do not do films for money,” says the actor. “Through this medium I can give something back to people. It is always better not to bother about having your own cup filled up to the brim. I think that in this one lifetime I can give something to people all over the world, which will inspire them. I never do anything merely to set trends. I like to focus more on this medium in order to be able to give a little happiness. My aim is always to give a good film,” he adds.

A tough shoot
“I wanted BB to be one of my best films. But I started the shoot late. I would have severe headaches and could hardly speak. My own vocals would make me feel miserable as though someone was striking back. I did not know whether to laugh or cry…I could do neither. I soon realised that instead of sitting and asking questions like, why me? I needed to get up and go ahead in life.

“We need to go on with life, leaving all the bitter experiences and be able to learn, also by giving more to people. The bad things need not be given a chair to sit on. My films are my life and I am using them as a channel to be happy.”

I have not seen failure in my life - Katrina 
Wednesday 1 October 2014 | 9:09 AM | By Lipika Varma
Katrina Kaif has surely learnt the B’Town way of faring for an interview…In an exclusive rendezvous the star speaks her hear to Lipika Varma

On not promoting Bang Bang on the reality show- “Yes! Promotional activities need to be attended to right from the early morning hours.” However, I have to get up early in the morning and thus I am very tired today. Undeniably whether we are going to promote on the reality show or not …it all depends on the marketing team. We just have to do our bit, by following their instructions and be right there to give away a sneak peek to you guys. You’ll definitely are instrumental in promoting our films all over the places. Coming back to my earlier film”Dhoom3, refreshing your memories’ I can tell you for D-3 too Adi had decided not to visit the reality shows. So with Bang Bang if they too plan take the same route it’s their best way of promotions I guess.”

Katrina’s Hindi lessons- Yes! I can speak in Hindi …Actually I have learned all the 12 languages Tamil Telugu etc [she winks and smiling says,” You guys ask in any language I am confident in Hindi speech but I will answer to you’ll in English!” Jokes apart Katrina surely shows signs of improvement in her speech vide-Hindi Language as in between her interview she spoke fluently in Hindi.
Comparing her action in Dhoom 3, she smilingly says,” Aamir ne mera role Kha liya!” In BB my role in the film is adequate….you can go ahead and watch my role. Well1 knowingly what my character has to be, I always give my 100%.I have done drastic roles until this day. In all my films…the fact is I want to see more beyond the platform given and resources which I have up my hand. My intentions to certain kind of roles especially while performance acrobatic; it needs total perfection and takes   a lot of hard work to give your best. The budget also turns exorbitant as then you need the action master to train you well... However, performing action in D-3 was extremely satisfying we have different challenges to face; Physical challenges need to be attended to rightly. I had given my 85 to 95 percent for this action role. I presume actions done by me were exciting and challenging for me. But in BB I am doing completely different, my character is beautiful in the film. All the actions performed by Hrithik are spectacular actions, these actions are extremely different .I just need to go with the flow. My going is the highlight put together with the film. It is a hard concept to go along with the action, undeniably with the right kind of action and romance the film is surely a condensed flick. The film has its fun element, songs and music to the core. I play a simple character, a girl working in bank. She concentrates in her job and has no boy friend. Working hard the World around her is totally mundane. She meets this boy and in his company both go crazy. She genuinely feels there is a sort of a danger in her life but yet she remains quiet. But at times she showcases her outburst by yelling on the top of her voice. The content of the film BB can be said to be Funloveria” kin of a story with a lot of action. In D-3 the story of this glam equation revolved around the two brothers who fought for her love at the same time.
Filmy Journey- “My filmy journey here in Bollywood has not been tough at all. I can say that I have been very lucky. I am fortunate enough to get great roles. Getting a higher platform and a good launch there was an excitement for me right from the beginning of my career. Whatever work I may have got in my previous flick…going ahead to another flick I got better roles. Slowly and gradually my characters in every film improved. Also the acknowledgement I received from my audiences has been mind blowing; they have liked me in most of my films. I feel the audiences are also very forgiving…if they find a major flaw in my character they may come up with their ideas but I have been fortunate enough to have received all their love. They have had a positive attitude towards me. Every effort of mine has been rewarded by them.”
 On peers from filmy arena-“All my friends have recommended me to some producer director. Also they have always guided me and pointed out at my flaws, their timely advice towards my flaws has helped me improve my acting abilities. Yes! I too always like to give my best shot and if I am pointed at any flaws I improve on it. But sometimes if the flaws are allowed to pass by ….[winks] then I just keep quiet and let it go by.”
Being the Number one-“This is a very conspicuous statement, in fact all this matters if your films taste the success one after the other. This status changes with films, I am not bothered about the number one game which has a relevant connections to your earlier films, but I want to give my best to the audiences. I want to be known like Hema Mlaini, she is known for her fondness, being within the hearts of the audiences. People watch your film for the love and so they do not at times care for your negativity  in the character. The actors who they love are always having a positive discussion point of view in their conversation. This brings more of you in the positive light in public. Entertaining and keeping them happy is what I really care for.
On Box office success- Everyone wants their films to do well, we as actors always crave for a box office success. But having said that, I have been super super fortunate as I have not seen other side as all my films have garnered BO success. I have lot of gratitude and hap pines as it continues. It is really heart breaking when your films do not do well.”
Adding more she says,” We change not with success, but with times. As you grow hopefully you change for better. Having seen success you become less erratic also you learn to appreciate low moments and quite. You learn not to be turn hectic while being carried with highs and the lows life. It teaches you to balance everything and your priorities will not change with happiness. Indeed with films doing well you also then look to being with your family and friends. You would love to go out with them for a lavish and a cool dinner. You start caring to enjoy your holidays properly to reduce the work stress.”

`` Anybody would love to be in my shoes`` Akshay Kumar 
Tuesday 30 September 2014 | 9:19 AM | By Lipika Varma
In the opening lines Akshay mockingly says,” There are so many great actors who belong to NSD….I would also like to introduce myself.”I am Akshay Kumar….I belong to NA…NSD,” Non Actor School of National School of Drama”
 Not hailing from school of acting refreshing his beginning in the filmy arena Akshay jokingly says,”“I began from a very low level…It all started after picking up a book on acting and reading it. I did not have any money to take admission in any acting School of drama, at that time there were many known schools of acting. I bought a book in which it was written on the very first page. How to learn acting? This book was sold in many places by the road side. The very first page of the book was inscribed,” If you have to become a good actor …be a good Human being!”I played a trick as I did not have Rs 175/- to pay against the payment of the book…I just read the first page of the book, kept it back in place .Walked ahead being confident that with this phrase I have already learned acting. You do not have to get puzzled in order to act. I am acting until this day.”
Turning alcohol in the film,”But I am surprised why Tigmanshu Dhulia has turned me into an alcoholic …why did he think of making me a alcoholic character. Though in real I do not drink .Not that I did not enjoy playing this alcoholic character. I presume bringing colourful character for an actor is indeed a challenge and a great job to perform this colourful role. In this film “Shaukeens” where I play myself…star.”Playing a ,”Sharabi” I know so many actors without mentioning their names …who get drunk pretending to have juice and a Naryalpani…which even I am portraying in the film “Shaukeens.I am not complaining it was fun playing my own self.
All praises for Lisa he adds,” Lisa has surprised me with her talent in the film. I am shocked the way she has performed the character. The last scene in which she looks so beautiful while crying in the scene. I am happy for she has performed brilliantly.”        
On not being superstitious at all, “I am not superstitious..Why will I not like to promote the film? You may have read it while goggling…I am not superstitious at all. After making OMG -ab kya superstitious.
Will Aki take away Liza from all the “Shaukeens in the film,” Darling for that you have to wait and watch!
On promotions he says,” Ab mein yahn kyun khada huoon this is my film I am in special appearance these actors are in the main lead.This is my film I am happy about my film. And shall always there to promote this film.”
Having been away from any controversies Aki says,”“In my life time I have never tried to create any controversies.”
Good things being a super star…. being Akshay Kumar he says,” All good things have always happened to me. Ever since I have been in this filmy arena I would be lying if at all I say,” I regretted anything over here. As a film star I have always fully been satisfied all through my great experiences since I entered the film industry, as an actor and whatever sphere of film making I may have tried I am fully satisfied.”
Enjoying the status of stardom at this juncture of his life and having hoarded appreciations in almost every film of his Akki looking at his shoes he adds proudly,” Anybody would love to be in my shoes!”
