Unexpected guest- Vivek drops in on Hrithik

Last Thursday, Vivek Oberoi dropped in to meet old friend Hrithik Roshan on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish at Mehboob Studios. The two had a great time chatting and catching up. But what seemed too coincidental was Aishwarya Rai’s absence. Vivek was at Mehboob Studios for a photo shoot for Kurbaan with Kareena and Saif. While leaving, he learnt that even Hrithik was shooting at the same studio. He was a bit apprehensive to meet him at first because he didn’t want to bump into Hrithik’s co-star for Guzaarish, Aishwarya, whom he earlier dated. But on learning that she wasn’t there, he went to meet Hrithik. The two friends who haven’t been able to meet for a long time due to professional commitments chatted about their films, their personal lives for two hours. They were also joined by Bhansali.

According to sources, Vivek and Hrithik have grown up together, as they are both from Juhu. So, Vivek didn’t want to miss the chance of meeting Hrithik.

Hrithik Roshan offers help to paraplegics

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan was so moved after meeting people affected with paraplegia while researching for his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Guzaarish” that he has decided to help them in whatever way he can.

Hrithik is playing a paraplegic in “Guzaarish” and met patients to be able to get under the skin of his character. While meetings the patients helped him understand his character better, it also left a deep impact on his mind.

“Hrithik is taking his role very seriously and has been reading a lot on paraplegia and watching videos to understand and study their mannerisms and behaviour. In fact, he even visited several people affected by the disease to get a first hand account of their experiences,” said a source close to the actor.

“The intensive study and frequent interactions with people suffering from the disorder have moved Hrithik to a great extent. He came across some young, talented people who were left incapacitated due to paraplegia and he immediately decided to do his bit to help them,” added the source.

Aishwarya Rai is playing female lead in the film.
