Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan Monday was discharged from hospital here Monday, a day after he was admitted following an allergic reaction to an antibiotic medicine.
“Hrithik is perfectly fine now. He had recovered yesterday (Sunday) itself but the family and the doctors wanted to keep him under observation for the night to be doubly sure. He is absolutely healthy now and ready to resume his routine,” the actor’s spokesperson said.
The star left the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital at around 11 a.m., the spokesperson added.
On Sunday evening, the allergic reaction to the medicine was so severe that the actor gave his family the scare of their lives. According to Hrithik, his lungs and throat had gone into a spasm and he could not breathe.
Hrithik was rushed to hospital at around 4 p.m. and was put under immediate surveillance by a battery of doctors.
The family is now relieved that the 36-year-old is fine.
“By the grace of god my Hrithik is much much better… Most random one in a million allergic reaction!,” Hrithik’s wife Sussanne wrote on her Twitter account
Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan, who will be seen with Aishwarya Rai in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film “Guzaarish”, feels that he shares a perfect equation with the actress.
“Our equation has been perfect. We both share the same amount of passion for films and our approach to our work is similar. We are selfless and enjoy teamwork. I remember the first shot I gave with Aishwarya 10 years ago for an ad, and till this time we have been able to sustain our equation,” Hrithik, who was present at DT Cinemas in south Delhi’s Saket area to promote the film, told reporters Tuesday.
Hrithik and Aishwarya have previously been paired together in Yash Raj’s “Dhoom 2″ and Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Jodhaa Akbar”. Both the films raked in moolah at the box-office and the pair wowed the audience with their sizzling chemistry.
“There were times when I used to show Aishwarya the shots I had given. Many times it happened that she used to walk out without giving any reaction and I used say to myself, ‘I have to do the shot again’,” said the 36-year-old actor, who was spiritedly promoting the film despite being down with fever.
“That level of communication and honesty comes only when you are friends and there are no ego hassels,” he added.
Hrithik was also full of praise for Bhansali, with whom he worked for the first time in the film.
“While working with Bhansali, the kind of creative freedom I have enjoyed as an actor, I have never enjoyed in my life. He just let me fly. There were times when we used to come on sets and I used to have some thoughts in mind to add to the scene. But we used to communicate at such a level that we never sat and discussed it together,” Hrithik said.
“It used to automatically come out in the shot. And this is possible only when there is a lot of faith on both sides,” he added.
“Guzaarish”, a story about a magician who becomes quadriplegic when one of his tricks goes wrong, will hit screens Friday.
His last release Kites was rejected outright by movie buffs. Understandably, Hrithik Roshan is anxious before the release of Guzaarish.
The film, slated for worldwide release on November 19, released in Dubai on November 16. Prior to its release, Hrithik is anxious as to how the viewers will respond to his portrayal of a magician who, after an accident, is confined to his wheelchair.
“Today Guzaarish release begins with the middle east! Anxious and excited. Sending you all my love! Hope you enjoy it. :),” Hrithik tweeted on Tuesday.
The movie stars Aishwarya Rai as a nurse and Monikangana Dutta as Hrithik’s former love interest. It’s directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Hrithik Roshan doesn’t look to happy with the unveiling of the first look of his next film Guzaarish and its planned promotional campaign. The film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali is slated for release mid November and promos are already on air. Bhansali has the winning team of Hrithik and Ash on his hands and is geared up for the publicity campaign that’s been planned for months.
But Hrithik doesn’t seem to agree with filmmaker’s strategies and has been trying to convince Bhansali for a rethink. But despite working with the biggest names in the industry, Bhansali is known not to give in to their demands and put his foot down whenever necessary.
The same happened during the shooting of the film, while Ash completely gave in to her director’s vision, differences cropped up between Hrithik and Bhansali, which were eventually sorted out.
But their clash of personalities seems to have cropped up once again. Although a unit hand brushed it off saying, “It’s regular creative differences that happen with every film,” we are expecting some fireworks this Diwali.
The first look of “Gurzaarish” was unveiled here Thursday and Hrithik Roshan, who reportedly plays a magician suffering from paraplegia, says working in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film was like a life-changing experience for him.
“It’s true that I have not done anything that has been life-altering. This film has changed my perspective towards work, changed my life. It’s so beautiful that 30 years or 40 years from now, I will look back and will smile that I had the opportunity to make this film,” Hrithik told reporters at Cinemax, where the first look of “Guzaarish” was unveiled.
“When such a vision, it feels that some films are made for just to see and this is one of that kind, so I just jumped at it,” added the star whose last outing “Kites” couldn’t excite the box office.
He has teamed up with Aishwarya Rai in the movie - this is his third film with the actress after “Dhoom 2″ and “Jodhaa Akbar”.
The world television premiere rights of Hrithik Roshan-starrer “Kites” have been sold to Colors channel within a month of the film’s release. It will be telecast in India, US and Britain June 27.
“We endeavour to bring the biggest Bollywood blockbusters to our viewers, right in the comfort of their homes. With ‘Kites’, we begin a long and potentially fruitful association with Reliance BIG Pictures with whom we have signed a much larger deal and will be showcasing a whole range of popular movies from their library in the days to com”,” Gaurav Gandhi, CEO and head (international business), Viacom18, said in a press release.
“Kites”, which also features Mexican actress Barbara Mori, is a love story set against the backdrop of a robbery in a Las Vegas casino.
Produced by Rakesh Roshan and distributed by Reliance BIG Pictures, it was among the most awaited films of the year, and released worldwide May 21.
Colors has previously premiered films like “Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani” and “Blue” even before the movies were taken off cinema halls.
IKLANHe’s played the role of Mughal ruler Akbar in Jodhaa Akbar, and now the Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan is all set to play a Roman emperor in a new TV commercial.
Directed by Indrajit Nattoji, the ad is for cookie brand Milano for which Hrithik is the brand ambassador.
"Set against a background of 10,000 warriors, we are almost filming Gladiator in 30 seconds. We’ll be going the way of the Hollywood hit 300... 20 extra warriors are going to multiply into 10,000 (and) putting Hrithik in an uber-cool period, packaging in 30 seconds was a high," Nattoji said in a statement.
"I was also influenced by his classical good looks reminiscent of a Greek god," added the director, who admits Hrithik’s regal bearing as a Mughal emperor in Jodhaa Akbar helped in determining his new avatar.
The first phase of the ad has been shot in Mehboob Studios in Mumbai and the second phase that involves a war scene is scheduled to begin in Gran Sasso Campo, 150 km from Rome, around mid May.
Hrithik’s costume for ad has been designed by Sanjeev Mulchandani.
The post-production of the ad will be done in Malaysia.
IKLANSuperstar Hrithik Roshan has finally joined the micro-blogging site Twitter and in his maiden message he urged fans to go and watch Shah Rukh Khan starrer My Name Is Khan.
"Spread humanity with a vengeance, go watch My Name Is Khan... and for the record, my name is Hrithik Roshan," he posted as his first Tweet.
Shah Rukh is courting controversy for favouring Pakistani cricketers’ inclusion in the Indian Premier League (IPL) - a stand which has cast a shadow over the release of his film My Name Is Khan.
Hrithik received a warm welcome from his close friends, filmmaker Karan Johar as well as actors Abhishek Bachchan and Genelia D’Souza on the social networking site.
"One of my closest friends and one of the finest actors I know is here! Hrithik Roshan... give him love Tweeple!" posted Johar, whose controversial film My Name Is Khan is finally releasing Friday.
Abhishek said: "Please welcome my dear friend to the chaos!"
And Genelia welcomed him saying, "Twitterverse".
The 36-year-old is awaiting the release of his much-hyped film Kites, which is being co-produced by his father Rakesh Roshan’s Filmkfraft and Reliance BIG Cinemas. It is set to hit screens on May 21.

IKLANEverybody knows that Hrithik Roshan is quite close to the brother sister duo of Farhan and Zoya Akhtar. After all, why else would he consent to playing second fiddle to Farhan in Zoya’s debut venture, ’Luck By Chance’, this after playing the lead in Farhan’s second directorial venture ’Lakshya’.
Expectedly, he is very much a part of Zoya’s next movie, which is said to be a road film. The film’s title has yet to be finalized but the star cast has more or less been fixed. Besides Farhan and Hrithik, Zoya has also roped in Abhay Deol . The film will about the adventures that the three of them get into as they set off on a wild trip. Well, so far, so good.
But it seems that Hrithik is not satisfied with just playing actor in the movie. He is reported to have shown a keen interest in styling the looks of the main characters in the movie as well. According to reports, the actor will be working on the look, and clothes with Zoya and the designers. Guess, it is quite in character with Hrithik, only this time he may be credited with the styling.
But the actor is known to be quite involved in the making of his films, almost to the degree of being obsessed by his work. Like Aamir Khan before him, he is another actor who thinks not just like an actor but also like the director. Hrithik is even known to sit in on the music recording sessions for his home movies and contributes quite positively to the entire creative process. What he would be doing for Zoya is probably just an extension of that.

Reportedly, Duggu is doing intensive work-out sessions with celebrity fitness expert Satyajit Chourasia, and soon he will be dancing like the way he used to. As a tabloid reported, “Hrithik was advised against strenuous dance routines for over two years by doctors. There was a question mark whether he would ever dance the way he did earlier.”
The handsome man of Bollywood is currently working in only one movie and that is Guzaarish for which he is not required to tap the floor with his dancing. Instead he has to sit on a wheel-chair for major part of the shoot.
Now, Hrithik has hit the gym big time and is doing all kind of exercises. He has signed Vishal Bhardwaj’s next film and for that he has to hone his dancing skills to do a kind of “complicated choreography”. Also, big stage shows are coming up and he has to be prepared for it.

And this is not the sole exciting fact leaked about the film. As per reports, the villain in the much-anticipated SFX flick will be a part robot-part human.
Technicians from Hollywood will fly down to work with Rakesh on this one.
As for who will play Hrithik’s love interest?
Allegedly Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif will play the lead, but of course since everything is premature, and official sources keep dismissing the whole premise as a figment of the media’s imagination.

IKLANHollywood art film ”Before The Rains” is all set to woo the Indian audiences. A Merchant-Ivory production, the film marks the English language debut of Indian director Santosh Sivan. Set in the 1930′’s southern India, against the backdrop of a growing nationalist movement, the film features Bollywood’’s outstanding actors Nandita Das and Rahul Bose.
Both these actors have proved their mettle in various commercial and art movies. Nandita Das plays the lead character of Sanjani, a village girl who defies the traditon and culture and falls in love with a white man played by British actor Linus Roache.
“Apart from being female lead, lot of the story revolves around Sanjani. Its a very interesting character because in 1930′’s to be able to defy your tradition, your culture, your society and fall in love with a white man and to have the strength to have that conviction of being in love, she is a strong character,” said Das.
Rahul Bose also plays a central character of an idealistic young Indian man named T K in the movie. He is torn between his ambitions for the future and his loyalty to the past when people in his village learn of an affair between his British boss Moores (Linus Roache) and Sanjani (Nandita Das).
The film has been shot meticulously after ample research. “This is a Hollywood film, but it is an art film. When we were making the film, all the systems were Americanised. This movie had a lot of detailing,” said Bose.
The movie has been selected for a host of international film festivals like, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, the Pusan Film Festival and the Dubai Film Festival.
”Before The Rains” has already won three awards at the Houston WorldFest for Best Picture, Best Cinematography and Best Music.The film will hit the screen across India on August 14. (ANI)

IKLANOur sources reveal that, “The father and son had a rift. It started with Hrithik ’s closeness to Barbari Mori, following which Sussanne left the house. Roshan Sr loves his daughter-in-law and made it clear that he was on her side and that he’d have nothing to do with Hrithik if he didn’t come to his senses. The tension which was apparent in home soon percolated to the sets.”
A source says, “The cracks in the father-son relationship have been visible for quite some time now, to everyone on the sets of Kites. They are having professional differences too. While Rakesh Roshan is known to be a good director, Hrithik seems to have his own take on Kites and has ignored his dad’s counsel a few times. Things aren’t well between director Anurag Basu the producer Rakesh too. The film is being edited and everyone wants his own say. Rakesh sit on the edit, after which Basu comes in and makes his own edit. Meanwhile, Hrithik has been going to the edit studio with his inputs and ensures they’re carried out. The actor is also cutting the film’s promos.”
After this paper carried the Hrihik and his wife Sussanne Roshan’s split the father and son spoke for the first time in months that too because his mother Pinky Roshan passed the phone to her husband. But things still haven’t returned to normalcy, which is why the actor hasn’t returned home.

IKLANThe camaraderie between Hrithik Roshan and Mexican beauty Barbara Mori goes beyond professionalism.
The ways of Bollywood seem to be rubbing off on Barbara. In an industry where personal relations, friends and goodwill score over apathetic professionalism, Barbara has adjusted well, to say the least. This was evident when Hrithik Roshan got injured recently while shooting a stunt for Kites .
Normally, a staunchly professional actress would have been concerned if her co-star got injured but she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to accompany him to the hospital. But Barbara reportedly did just that.
Seeing Hrithik bleeding from a gashed wrist, she worried and remained by Hrithik’s side as he was rushed to the hospital and given stitches.
This gesture goes to show how much Barbara cares for Hrithik who, in his turn, has shown her remarkable hospitality ever since she came to Mumbai with her mother and sister. Hrithik not just made sure that their stay in the city is comfortable, but was there for them whenever they needed something.

IKLANHrithik who turned 35 on Saturday celebrated the occasion doing what he likes best.Dancing. That too with Barbara Mori for a number choreographed by old friend Farah Khan.Sighed Hrithik, What more can I wish for? This birthday I can only wish for my wife Sussanne to be with me all my life. What else? I have everything else. So I don’t need any other gifts except lots of love from everyone.
The audience and fans have showered me with much more love than I deserve. A warm hug means more to me than anything that money can buy.I know my phone is going to be very busy on my birthday. That’s the most special thing that happens on this day every year."
A special guest at Hrithik’s birthday party was his Kites co-star Barbara Mori.
While shooting a critical sequence in Santa Fe, Babara Mori made her shy co-star Hrithik Roshan discard his desi inhibitions to express love in one of its natural manifestations. The kiss.
After Dhoom 2 and the absolutely aesthetic kiss with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik will be seen doing a number of lip-locks with Barbara Mori in his next release, the much-anticipated Kites.
When asked about it Hrithik is amused. "Why are we even talking about kissing ? Is that such a big deal ? Hasn’t our cinema grown up?
Yes, there’re kissing scenes in the film. But nothing to make me squirm. In fact I’d be more than happy and completely comfortable watching those kissing scenes with my wife, son and parents when the film is released."
Rationalizing the need to look at lip-locking in Bollywood rationally Hrithik argues, "Kites is a love story. It’s about people in love. And what do people in love do to express their mutual feelings?
In fact it was Barbara Mori who made me realize how silly we look on screen while shying away from expressing love naturally."
This happened while Hrithik and Barbara were shooting a tough and dangerous action sequence in Santa Fe.
"We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so our director Anurag Basu suggested I kiss Barbara since we were doing something dead-defying and dangerous and potentially lethal.
I reached out and kissed her on the cheeks. Barbara turned around to ask why I had kissed her on the cheek. ’Given the same situation with your real-life wife Sussanne would you kiss her on the cheeek?’ I was floored by her logic."
The take was repeated. "And this time I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation. On the lips," says Hrithik with matter-of-fact directness.

IKLANNumerologically, the year 2009 (2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2 ) will come under the dominance of Number 2 - the Moon (chandra ). Number 2 is directly linked with Number 7 (Neptune ) & hence they always go hand in hand. Considered to be one of the most ‘creatively’ powerful numbers, all persons born on dates 2, 11, 20 or 29 of any month are ruled by the Moon. People born under the zodiac sign of Cancer / Kark rashi (20th June - 20th July ) or whose destiny number add up to Number 2 are also ruled by the Moon, although indirectly. e.g. 16 November, 1973 (1 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 29 = 2 + 9 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2 ). No prizes for guessing that the year 2009 will belong to them.
Stars who fall in such category are :-
Aishwarya Rai (1st Nov. 1973 ) :- The Bachchan bahu is ruled by No.1 (Sun ), No.9 (Mars Negative - Scorpio ) & No. 5 (Mercury - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 23 = 5 ) indicating a strong ‘mangal’ in her birth chart.
Currently in her 36th year, Ash should try and strike a fine balance between her professional and personal life else she will be drained by the end of the year. Wearing a Red Coral will definitely help keep her blood pressure under control. Chances of ‘good news’ are bright and can be expected soon.
Hrithik Roshan (10th Jan. 1974 ) :- Hrithik is primarily ruled by the Sun (No.1 ). Being a Capricorn he is also ruled by No.8 (Saturn ) and his destiny number adds to No. 5 (1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 = 23 = 5 ).
He will enter his 36th year soon (3 + 6 = 9 ). Since Number 9 is one of his weakest numbers, he is likely to have some health problems especially blood related. He is advised to wear a Red Coral. His big release ‘Kites’ adds up to No.15 (1 + 5 = 6 ) which is one of his strongest numbers. Expect fireworks at the box office.
Ranbir Kapoor (28th Sept. 1982 ) :- Ranbir comes under the direct influence of No.1 (Sun ), is also ruled by Nos. 6 & 8 (Venus & Saturn - Libra ) and No.3 (Jupiter - 2 + 8 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 39 = 3 + 9 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3 ).
Currently in his 27th year, it is not a bad phase of his life but still not the best one either. He should always add his father initial ‘R’ to his name. Wearing a Diamond will also help.
Katrina Kaif (July 16, 1984 ) :- This ‘kool kat’ is ruled by Nos.2 & 7 (Moon & Neptune ) twice & No.9 (Mars ). She will continue delivering hit after hit this year as well atleast till July.
Her compatibility with Salman is strictly okay & she should rather focus on her career as of now. She should spell her name as KATRINNA KAIF or KATREENA KAIF for a much longer & better innings. Wearing a Pearl will help her cope with anger & insomnia problem.
Shah Rukh Khan (November 2, 1965 ) :- Influenced by Nos. 2 & 7 (Moon & Neptune ) and No.9 (Scorpio - ruler Mars ), SRK has entered his 44th year (4 + 4 = 8 ) which is ‘not so good’ news for him in terms of his health.
His family life will improve tremendously & he will be surrounded by his near & dear ones all year round. Suddenly the people around him will discover his ’spiritual side’ this year.
WE WISH A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 TO ALL THE BOLLYWOOD STARS
