Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, often hailed as the ‘Greek God’ for his looks, once received an unusual proposal from a school board that wanted to use his name in biology textbooks to make lessons more engaging for students.
Hrithik revealed the anecdote during an appearance on filmmaker Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’. Recalling his time in Calcutta, now Kolkata, the actor said a school board approached him with the idea of incorporating his name into textbooks.
The aim was to pique students’ interest in biology through questions related to the actor. One such example was, “Which is the longest bone in Hrithik Roshan’s body?”
“You know, when I was in Calcutta, and I got a message from the school board, and they wanted to incorporate my name into textbooks to teach kids, and they thought it would help in learning as in, like in biology, like ‘Which is the longest bone in Hrithik Roshan’s body?’. Just stuff to make it kind of more interesting for the kids,” Hrithik told Karan Johar.
Hrithik made his Bollywood debut in 2000 with the romantic film ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’, opposite Ameesha Patel. The film marked the beginning of a successful career spanning more than two decades.
He subsequently appeared in films including ‘Koi… Mil Gaya’, ‘Krrish’, ‘Lakshya’, ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, ‘Guzaarish’, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘War’.
Hrithik is now set to make his OTT debut as a producer with the project ‘Storm’, featuring Parvathy Thiruvothu, Alaya F, Srishti Shrivastava, Rrama Sharma and Saba Azad in significant roles.
‘Storm’ has been created and directed by Ajitpal Singh, known for the series ‘Tabbar’.
Hrithik is also expected to reprise his role as Krishna Mehra in ‘Krrish 4’, the latest instalment in the popular franchise.
