Hrithik Roshan, the Bollywood heartthrob, recently opened up about the challenges he faced while preparing for his movie, Fighter. Known for his dedication to fitness, the actor revealed that he underwent not one, but three body transformations for the action-packed entertainer.
In an intimate conversation, Hrithik shared the behind-the-scenes struggles he faced during the shoot. The actor, who had to juggle three songs consecutively while undergoing a rigorous transformation process, confessed that it took a toll on his body. He found himself running on empty, fueled only by sheer determination and passion for his craft.
The turning point came when he successfully completed the body shots for Fighter. Ecstatic and relieved, Hrithik expected a triumphant celebration to fill the void left by the intense regimen of smoking. However, things took an unexpected turn as he discovered that nothing brought him the satisfaction he craved.
Desperate for a reward, Hrithik impulsively reached for a cigarette to mark the occasion. Little did he anticipate the consequences of this seemingly innocent celebration. The actor disclosed how this decision led to an alarming increase in his resting heart rate, describing it as a “disaster.” In just one week, his heart rate soared from 45 to 75, prompting him to rethink his impulsive choice.
Reflecting on the experience, Hrithik emphasized the importance of planning not only the journey but also the aftermath of victories. He highlighted the need for a well-thought-out strategy for post-success celebrations, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspect of the process.
“We only plan, schedule, and brainstorm about the building, but what happens after the victory? That also needs a plan,” Hrithik said, underscoring the significance of mindful planning in both personal and professional triumphs.
In this candid revelation, Hrithik Roshan serves as a reminder that success comes with its unique set of challenges, not just during the journey but also in the moments of celebration that follow, which is smoking in this case.
