Reports state that Salman has accused Bhansali for exploiting the physically challenged for “Guzaarish” following its poor box office collection in an award function organized to felicitate the handicapped.
To this Bhansali replied “If such an old and trusted friend can be so insensitive I don’t want anything to do with the entertainment industry.”
Hrithik stated, “it’s not heroic to laugh or make fun of a filmmaker just because his box office collections are not up there with yours. Guzaarish is a super success in its own way.”
He said further, “And I will be hurt if anyone talks like this about Mr Bhansali. In my opinion a hero never gloats. When you are super successful, it should in fact make you more gracious and loving.”
He added, “This is the time one should use to turn even enemies into friends…just give love, not laugh at others.”
He said, “By the time I finish this sentence, I have already forgiven his words, because I know deep inside he only has love for me and this must have been just a momentary lapse of judgement. Will expect a big hug the next time I meet him.”
