I am inspired by my mom, says Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik’s mother Pinky Roshan is the one pushing the actor to hit the gym regularly

He may have followed in his father’s footsteps when he took up acting more than a decade ago. But when it comes to his health and life, superstar Hrithik Roshan says his inspiration is none other than the force behind his family — his mother, Pinky Roshan.

While it was Hrithik himself who introduced Pinky Roshan to the gym, these days it seems that it is mommy Roshan’s turn to inspire Hrithik to hit the gym regularly. Says Hrithik, “I am totally inspired by her. My mom is an incredible example of feminine power. I see her as both — a vulnerable little girl at times and at the same time, she is also a powerful woman who is constantly evolving and amassing wisdom through experience and books. She is always out to inspire others.”

Hrithik has also imbibed the attitude of smiling away the blues from his mother. “The best part about her is her totally cool attitude towards life and its problems .She is always smiling, encouraging all of us in the family to remain upbeat.”

But the one thing about her that Hrithik finds most inspiring is her passion for fitness. “My mom sets the best possible example for me and my dad to stay fit. I may miss a morning workout but she is always there at the gym on time with my dad. She makes sure that he too never misses a day at the gym.”

The superstar further says that observing his mum and dad has given him the magic formula for a successful marriage. “A couple that works out together, stays together!” says Hrithik with a laugh.
