Did you know?: Hrithik takes groping incident in Mumbai as ‘compliment’!

The actor continued that he was overwhelmed with how the audience had turned up to watch his film and he loved it.

Bollywood actors often drop by at movie theatres in Mumbai to see how their films are being received by fans. However, this tradition landed actor Hrithik Roshan in an awkward situation.

When he went to gauge the audience’s response to his superhero flick Krrish 3 at a single-screen theatre, he was “pinched and groped” by a mob, reported the Hindustan Times.

When Hrithik was asked about the incident, he said, “Yes, that did happen. Frankly, I can only take it as a compliment. It’s all good and I guess such things happen.” There, there Hrithik!



The actor continued saying that he was overwhelmed with how the audience had turned up to watch his film and he loved it when he saw the crowd cheering for the film. “The kind of response people have given to the film is insane. It’s absolutely overwhelming and I don’t get to experience this often. I have a few releases — once or twice in a year or two — so for me, looking at all of this is amazing.”

What may sound an embarrassing situation is considered something to boast to his Hollywood counterparts by Hrithik who said, “I am quite certain that actors in Hollywood will be really jealous of this [attention]. The way Indians shower love on us — with all the hooting, whistling and cheering — you don’t get to see it anywhere else. Guys in Hollywood won’t ever get to experience this!”

Well, we are sure that Hollywood actors would never want to get groped by a frenzied mob of fans!
