Reel-life characters would influence real people. However it is even common that those very characters affect the actors who portray them on screen.

Playing a paraplegic patient in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’, Hrithik Roshan has been immensely influenced with his role.

While on a research mission for the film, Hrithik had interacted with many paraplegics through various hospitals. After coming in terms with their disabilities and quite moved over their plight, the actor made up his mind to help such people. Hrithik said to be in fact personally bearing the complete medical expense of 10 paraplegics from different city hospitals, including the cost of hospitalisation and medicines. This is costing him about Rs 7 lakh per month, sources revealed.

Our guzaarish to God to bless Hrithik for his large heartedness…
