Photo Credit: Sawf NewsApril 8, 2008 (Sawf News) - Hrithik Roshan is still nursing a knee injury, which has progressively worsened since he first sustained it while filming Krrish in 2004, but that did not stop him from filming a soap commercial that features more intense action sequences than Dhoom 2.
"There was more action in the Cinthol ad than in "Dhoom 2," Hrithik told IANS. "It was so much fun. I did kayaking, free-running, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, mountain biking, diving into the ocean from the mountain and rugby - all crammed into one ad."
Hrithik's knee has not healed completely but he cannot resist doing action sequences. He claims he has trained himself to work with a bad knee.
"Well they say adversity is the mother of invention. So I've found a way," he says
"I'm a very, very physical person. When I see the outdoors, I just want to run," he adds.
Ironically, Hrithik admits that his knee would not have become so bad had he cared for it in the first place, after he was first injured on the set of Krrish.
"The knee was crying for a break that I did not give it. We sometimes forget how human we are. We start looking at ourselves as heroes immune to injury and pain. That's stupid."
It may just well be that Hrithik didn't learn the lesson that he thinks he learnt.
His item song for Krazy 4, the Godrej ad and now the promo for Mumbai Indians, how is his knee going to get better, we wonder?
Maybe papa Roshan needs to immediately sign him up for yet another remake of Devdas in which all he has to do is act drunk. But who knows, Hrithik as Devdas may start to climb walls!
