Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan said meeting West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was ‘inspiring’ and reminded him of the hospitality and warmth of the Bengali community, which he ‘misses’ a lot. “Meeting didi was
inspiring n full of Bengali warmth which
I miss so much. @Mamataofficial #womanpower,” the actor posted on Twitter on Tuesday. Banerjee re-tweeted Hrithik’s message and thanked him. “Thank you so much RT @iHrithik Meeting didi was inspiring n full of Bengali warmth which I miss so much. @Mamataofficial #womanpower,” Banerjee posted on the
micro-blogging site.
The Bang Bang! heartthrob, who is of part-Bengali heritage, performed at the Indian Premier League (IPL-8) opening ceremony at the Salt Lake stadium
in Kolkata on Tuesday.
Hrithik’s grandmother Ira – his father Rakesh Roshan’s mother – was a Bengali who married Punjabi musician Roshan.
In his stunning second live act in the city after 15 years, Hrithik cast a spell on his fans and sealed his connect with
West Bengal. Hrithik was overcome with nostalgia during the event.
The star son’s maiden live act after his stellar debut in father Rakesh’s Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, was at the same venue. He fondly recalled the first live performance of his career as the
audience cheered and whistled.
