The
craze for Hrithik Roshan has taken the industry by surprise. People, young
and grown-up alike, even in a city like Mumbai, where celebrities are
there dime a dozen, are so taken in by Hrithik that it is to be seen to
be believed. The other day he and his father Rakesh Roshan stopped by
a five-star hotel late in the night to have an unscheduled dinner there.
But no sooner had they entered the hotel's famed restaurant, the diners
already present there swarmed around him like bees, so that the stewards
had to chaperon him away to safety while a bemused father sat there, quietly
chuckling. After more than an hour when Hrithik came out to the restaurant
to join his father the hysterical crowd was still there. Thinking it would
better if they returned home instead, when the father and son started
to leave the hotel, the manager advised them to sneak out through rear
door as there were at least more than one and a half thousand people waiting
outside to have a glimpse of Hrithik at 1.30 a.m. in the night! They literally
had to slink away. |
