Be
it
onscreen
or
in
real
life,
when
Hrithik
Roshan
appears,
girls
go
weak
on
their
knees
and
boys
try
to
notice
every
small
detail
about
his
style.
The
green
eyed
boy
became
a
superstar
over
night
with
his
debut
film
Kaho
Na
Pyaar
Hai
and
since
then,
he
has
been
consistently
climbing
the
ladder
of
success.
He
rocked
the
year
2006
with
two
superhit
films
Krrish
and
Dhoom
2.
Both
the
films
have
proved
that
Hrithik
is
a
powerhouse
of
talent.
With
Krrish,
Hrithik
became
the
first
onscreen
Indian
superhero
and
has
become
the
favourite
actor
among
children
and
Dhoom
2
has
made
him
a
god
of
style.
So,
what
would
you
say
to
a
person
who
fails
to
recognize
Hrithik
Roshan
even
when
Hrithik
is
sitting
and
talking
with
that
person?
Shocked? Well, an incident like this happened with Hrithik once when he was in London. He took a cab in the city and on the way struck a conversation with the driver. To his horror, Hrithik realized that the cab driver had no idea who he was and was talking with Hrithik just like another passenger. Hrithik did explain to the cabbie that he was a big filmstar in India, but the mild reaction from the driver didn't really make the young Roshan happy.
To his luck however, when the cab stopped at one of the signals, a group of Indian girls spotted Hrithik in the cab and started screaming and pounding on the cab. It was then that the driver realized whom he was giving a ride. Hrithik says it was the moment when he felt that God must've heard him. He was never happier to be surrounded by his fans than at that moment in his life. The cab driver then didn't take money from Hrithik. In fact, he asked him for his autograph instead. Now, this is what we call star power.
