Tweet

After the first look of Kites was unveiled at Cannes Film Festival last week, Hrithik Roshan's next stop was a candlelight memorial for the AIDS affected in Mumbai. And joining him for the good cause were his wife Suzzane Roshan, actor Nandita Das and author Shobha De. "I was in Cannes but I had to come for this function. Our film got a great response and we are positive, let's see what happens," said Hrithik. Making his presence felt at the 26th International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, Hrithik, it seemed truly believed in the cause and insisted it was for wife Suzzane who got him on board for this cause. "Suzzane has been the most important impetus, because she said this is something she truly believes in and wanted to do. She wanted me to be a part of it," he said. With that Hrithik put a stop to all rumours of trouble in paradise. And looked like there has been no love lost between the couple with Kites star Barbara Mori's name popping up from time to time. When asked about the brewing controversy of Barbara and Hrithik's chemistry, Hrithik said, "Aap jo bol rahe ho kafi hain, (I don't need to add to what the media is saying, it's enough)." Hrithik on the cause We are here to lend a helping hand to create an awareness around HIV positive people and AIDS. There is a lot fo stigma and discrimination against these people and we force them into isolation. It does not need to be like that. Suzanne on the level of AIDS awareness in India I think Parmeshwar Godrej has done a great job and I salute her for her constant perseverence for making it known to the people who know about it but do not really want to embrace it.
