Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan recently had a muscle injury. The actor shared a mirror selfie to update his fans with captions about recollecting memories of his grandfather.
Taking to the social media, he captioned, “Good afternoon. How many of you out there ever needed to be on crutches or a wheelchair and how did that make you feel? I remember my grandfather refusing to sit on a wheelchair at the airport because it wouldn’t align with his own mental image of himself as ‘strong’. I remember saying ‘But Deda, it’s just an injury and nothing to do with how old you are!’ It will help heal the injury and not damage it further. It made me so sad to see how strong he needed to be just to hide the fear and embarrassment on the inside.”
Further he added, “I argued that the age factor is not applicable because he needs the wheelchair for an injury and not his old age. He refused and kept the strong image on display for strangers (who literally didn’t care). It worsened his pain and delayed the healing. There definitely is merit in that kind of conditioning, it’s a virtue. It’s the mentality of a soldier. My dad comes from the same condition. MEN are strong.”
