Getting some time out the b-town hunk and first super hero speaks about struggles, how he overcomes them and the famous myth that Hrithik Roshan` can do anything.

On struggles in life

When you're talking about struggles or failure, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, famous or not. We all go thru the same pains, how we interpret it is what shapes our perspective of the world we live in. Some live in anger, some turn into pleasers, some become control freaks, some turn into victims and then there are some who learn that the answers lie not in analyzing the past or blaming, or seeking an audience for your sad story, or any quick fixes like alcohol, sex or drugs, the route to happiness is using your imagination to create an environment that attracts the people and things u want in your life. It's about taking 100% responsibility of your present circumstance no matter what the cause. It's about striving to become the best version of yourself by adopting better habits and behavior. And it's about never being too nice so to please another person. Pleasing comes from low self worth.

Never please, don't be the nice guy, be the Good guy.

A human being has to build his own awareness of his own mind to be able to harness his resources to enable him to rise from every fall and to overcome any hurdle or struggle or handicap. And that's an education our youth and children need, we send them out into the world with knowledge of history and geography but not the tools and wisdom they will need to navigate thru the real issues in their lives, the issues that may leave them emotionally drained depressed and lonely thinking they are failures. HRX aims to empower just that.

On achieving goals in life

I guess I just went on striving and trying to be normal and accepted. I thought that would make me happy. Now when I look back, I realise that all your struggles, the handicaps, or shortcomings it's all there for a reason. When you connect the dots looking back, it all makes sense.

I am who I am today not inspite of my handicaps and struggles, but because of them. If you've the right perspective towards your struggles or your pain that you're going through, they can actually become your wings. It can actually help you fly higher and that is the message I want to send.

I am a living example of it so I want to use my example to tell people that there is no difference between me and them. I often hear my fans looking at me and saying 'Oh but that's Hrithik, he can do it because he is Hrithik Roshan'. I want to completely expose that myth and tell people that I can do it not because of who I am but because of the mental tools we all have access to. I want to tell them that I am exactly the same at them.

And if I found my way out, if I can use my mind and my awareness to achieve what I have achieved, then so can you. I'm just a reflection of the human potential that lies in all of us.

And I have just started to discover it, so there's a long way for me to go as well. It has turned my whole life around. I see the world as a beautiful place with so many opportunities and I see my struggles as a way of becoming wiser and being more aware.

I want tell my children and the children of the world that they don't have to fear anything because there is a way out of every struggle that you may encounter in your life.

I'm very fortunate to have a great team that has worked with me relentlessly to make HRX a reality.

What HRX does

HRX is a symbol that guides me, that empowers me. It's magical when you just say 'yes' to life and you actually believe. It's a platform through which I want to empower the people who want to create a change in their life but don't know how. I want to give them the education about the tools and resources with which, we can harness the power of our minds.

HRX is not just a fashion brand, it's many things in one, but most importantly, the vision is to empower.

When I met the team, it was a no-brainer. They are a team full of amazing minds and in all our meeting, they understood what I was saying. They were immediately inspiring me back. The product itself is amazing. I have loved every manifestation of my vision for the clothes and it's just a great partnership.

What keeps him busy nowadays?

I am currently shooting for 'Mohenjo Daro' in Bhuj and HRX has just been launched. And I want to find out how much potential lies in me. Success to me doesn't mean fame, doesn't mean money. Success to me is becoming the best version of yourself. No matter where you are, who you are, if you're living the life of the person that you want to be, if you're able to make others laugh and also have a good laugh yourself, if you're able to connect with people, if you're certain enough to say 'I can do this,' if you manage to have enough variety in your life, if you're not stuck in a monotonous every day journey, that to me is success. It's not about the money or the fame, not about working hard, that's all great but it should come as a consequence of being the best version of who yourself.

I want to put across this message to all those people who might consider me as a role model. I know the struggles that I have had and I know my handicaps and yet I'm able to get so much love from the entire world. That's only because I'm being able to contribute to them by overpowering my difficulties and I'm still being able to contribute. No matter where you are, no matter what your struggle is, no matter what logic tells you, you can do it.

Logic will only tell you that it's not possible, what you need to do is use your imagination. The only reason where I am this day is because I based my entire life on imagination.

Imagination breaks all logic. So when you're dreaming, dream without logic. When you use your imagination, you see the things you want to be and if you just keep your vision on that picture, you can manifest it.
