Hrithik Roshan, who recently portrayed Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania in the successful film 'Fighter,' shared a photo holding crutches along with a contemplative note on alpha masculinity. The actor delved into how societal expectations of a strong, unyielding image have impacted generations of men, citing an example from his own family, particularly his grandfather's reluctance to use a wheelchair despite injury.

Expressing his disagreement with the notion, Roshan emphasized the importance of true strength being found in composure and relaxation rather than conforming to external expectations. He asserted, "It’s that quiet fight on the inside between you and the 'image' of you. If you come out of that one feeling like wanting to do a slow dance by yourself, then you’re my hero."

'Fighter,' directed by Siddharth Anand, features Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Rishabh Sawhney. The film has garnered significant success in 2024.
