Hrithik Roshan, is one of the few, who not only stays in touch with the Guzaarish Director, Sanjay Bhansali but also gifted him an expensive watch on his birthday In this fast paced and cut-throat industry, it is certainly endearing to hear that some relationships are based on more than just business deals. Although it has been some time since Guzaarish(2010) released, Hrithik Roshan, unlike others, has not forgotten director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Reportedly, Roshan is still in touch with Bhansali and even gifted him an expensive watch on his birthday. Roshan’s gesture of kindness and thoughtfulness is magnified by the fact that even those close to Bhansali did not seem to remember him on his special day. Reportedly, the victims of selective amnesia include an actress that won her rights to fame after her roles in Bhansali’s films and a protégé who instantly attained superstardom.
A source tells us, “Quite surprisingly, actors who have been an essential part of SLB’s cinema and have always been a part of his birthdays went missing this year. Hrithik, who shared a cordial relationship with SLB, surprised the filmmaker by remembering his birthday and sending him an expensive gift.” When contacted, Bhansali tells us, “Hrithik didn’t have to do this. We shared a very comfortable working relationship during Guzaarish. Now, even though Guzaarish is over and there is no talk of another film with Hrithik, he has still kept in touch. This is very rare in this profession where relationships change every Friday.”
