Hrithik
Roshan
kisses
trouble,
every
time
he
embarks
on
a
journey
filled
with
unpredictable
results.
But
then
the
results
are
obvious
-
it's
a
success.
It
means
that
he
kisses
trouble
goodbye.
On
the
one
hand,
Duggu
(Hrithik's
nick
name)
exudes
confidence,
humour
and,
like
a
lot
of
ex-child
stars,
sometimes
seems
eerily
mature
and
worldly.
Yet
off
screen
he
cuts
a
surprisingly
small,
compact
figure,
still
quite
boyish
despite
the
well-cut
jacket,
ill-cut
beard
and
resonant
voice
with
its
Rat
Pack
locutions
and
finger-popping
rhythms.
As
he
discusses
this
summer's
most
awaited
film
Kites
with
this
correspondent,
occasionally
you
feel
him
pulling
against
the
wind,
then
with
the
wind,
and
surprisingly,
sometimes,
unmoved.
Here's
the
unchained
Hrithik
Roshan.
Fly
along
with
him
and
explore
the
journey
because
you
never
know,
you
may
kiss
trouble
goodbye
too.
They
say
love
has
no
language.
So
how
proficient
a
Mexican
are
you
after
meeting
a
belleza
(beauty)
like
Barbara?
Also,
the
film
has
you
speaking
in
English
and
Hindi
and
Barbara
in
Spanish.
(laughs)
You've
learnt
a
bit
of
the
language
too.
Interacting
with
Barbara
and
her
family,
I
have
picked
up
a
lot
of
Spanish.
I'm
so
busy
filming
for
Guzaarish
that
most
of
the
words
are
out
of
my
vocabulary.
I
plan
to
revisit
my
books
and
I
am
going
to
brush
up
on
my
Spanish.
Why
can't
Indian
films
show
sexuality
successfully?
That's
because
we
are
not
fully
comfortable
with
ourselves.
It's
kind
of
a
hypocritical
perception
that
our
society
has
and
is
been
made
to
follow.
I
completely
disagree
with
it.
If
I
keep
on
talking
about
the
censors
and
our
society,
it's
never
going
to
end.
If
a
love
story
needs
to
portray
a
certain
scene
depicting
sensuality
and
sexuality,
it
shouldn't
be
looked
down
upon
as
dirty
or
vulgar.
You
should
not
protect
yourself,
you
should
just
let
go.
The
scene
has
to
be
pure.
And
talk
about
a
pure
talent
like
Kangana
Ranaut
who
plays
a
special
appearance
in
Kites.
Absolutely.
She
is
an
incredible
actor.
Her
spirit
and
enthusiasm
is
infectious.
She
is
a
person
who
has
been
gifted
by
this
incredible
beauty.
Kangana
has
no
ego
and
no
inhibition
in
portraying
any
emotion
which
is
something
very
rare
in
our
industry.
I
had
a
great
time
working
with
her
and
partying
with
Kangana.
Those
were
the
times
I
will
cherish
forever.
All
lovers
have
to
face
the
music
before
they
get
married.
Did
you
go
through
some
tough
days
before
you
got
married
to
your
wife
in
real
life,
Sussanne
Roshan?
Well,
there
was
one
aspect
that
had
to
be
accomplished
before
I
got
married
to
Sussanne.
When
I
was
dating
her,
I
always
told
her
that
I
wanted
to
be
an
actor
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
be
successful.
I
told
her
that
I
might
not
be
able
to
give
her
that
life
that
we
enjoy
because
of
our
parents.
It
will
be
a
different
story
once
we
get
married.
Even
a
vacation
in
India
might
be
an
expensive
gamble.
You
never
know
what
happens
with
the
life
of
an
actor.
I
knew
I
would
probably
not
be
in
a
mindset
to
celebrate
a
marriage
if
I
was
not
successful.
But
there
was
never
a
worry
for
me
because
I
was
completely
in
love
with
Sussanne.
She
has
complete
faith
in
me.
I
often
say
this
and
I
mean
it
-
I
would
not
have
become
an
actor
if
it
was
not
for
Sussanne.
If
she
had
not
blindfolded
me
and
pushed
me
in
front
of
the
camera.
Anurag
Basu
is
the
first
director
to
direct
a
film
with
you
under
your
father's
production
house,
Film
Kraft.
How
different
was
it
not
to
see
your
father
behind
the
directors
chair?
There
was
never
a
moment
where
I
thought
of
it
being
something
that
was
out
of
the
ordinary.
Everything
happened
at
such
an
organic
pace.
I
have
to
applaud
my
father's
efforts
in
striving
to
keep
growing
as
a
creative
man.
Kites
was
his
subject
and
he
wanted
to
hand
it
over
to
a
young
mind
like
Anurag
Basu
to
see
how
he
could've
directed
it,
and
therefore
have
that
as
an
access
point
to
grow
as
a
creative
man
himself.
Is
there
a
director
hidden
somewhere
inside
Hrithik
Roshan,
the
actor?
(laughs)
People
keep
saying
that
to
me.
A
director
is
not
only
about
having
talent
and
knowing
what
is
wrong
and
what
is
right.
I
do
have
that
faculty
in
my
brain
where
I
can
visualise
and
help
in
creating
suitable
moments
or
to
give
the
right
kind
of
suggestions.
But
all
that
comes
from
me
as
an
actor.
To
direct,
you
have
to
be
able
to
conceive,
you
have
to
be
able
to
write,
you
have
to
lead
and
motivate
hundreds
of
people.
The
last
time
we
saw
you
in
an
ensemble
film
was
in
2001,
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhi
Gham.
When
do
we
see
you
repeat
the
magic?
Pretty
soon.
I
won't
name
the
film
or
the
star
cast
but
it's
going
to
be
an
insane
ensemble
film.
Are
you
having
a
separation
anxiety
on
Kites
as
we
finish
off
this
interview?
Not
an
anxiety.
But
any
film
that
I've
been
so
honest
and
close
with,
I
miss
it
when
it
gets
over.
It
happened
when
I
did
Koi
Mil
Gaya
and
it
will
happen
when
I
complete
my
next
film
Guzaarish.
There
are
certain
roles
that
your
heart
goes
out
into.
Kites
is
an
evolution
when
it
comes
to
me
as
an
actor.
Kites
is
a
landmark
film.
I
will
never
be
the
same
actor
again
in
my
life.
