After The Hrithik-Arnab Interview, Some Bollywood Stars Join Team Hrithik

Hrithik Roshan’s highly publicised interview to TV anchor Arnab Goswami might not have been as explosive as some would have liked, but it certainly helped change the public’s perception of the star.

Several Bollywood stars took to Twitter to show support for Hrithik, who for two hours, spoke about his ongoing fight with Kangana Ranaut. In the interview, Hrithik said that he had never met Kangana one on one ever in his life, and only shared a professional relationship with her. Hrithik has done two films with Kangana - Kites and Krrish 3.

On Thursday, Hrithik shared his first public statement on the issue on social media. Kangana, meanwhile, had revealed several details about their alleged affair in the run up to her recent film, Simran.

Here are some reactions:

'A cynical father cannot teach his children the wonder and beauty of life...' @iHrithik you have risen in my esteem.

The two met on the sets of the 2010 film, Kites, and then worked together once again on 2013’s Krrish 3. It was around that time, Kangana alleges, that the two were romantically involved with each other. Hrithik was married then, and has since separated from his wife, Sussanne Khan, who, by the way, has publicly stood by him during all this.

In recent months, while promoting her film Simran, Kangana spoke at length, and to multiple outlets, about what really happened. Her biggest complaint is that the Roshans used their power and influence to paint her in a negative light, going so far as to suggest that she is mentally unstable. Hrithik meanwhile, maintains that Kangana was in correspondence with an imposter.
