Kaabil star Hrithik Roshan loves Bengal and Rosogolla. Here is why (original) (raw)

Hrithik Roshan, Kaabil Hrithik Roshan frankly told a fan on Twitter that he couldn’t wait to eat ‘Rosogolla’ as soon as he landed in Kolkata to promote Kaabil.

It probably is the most lesser known fact about superstar Hrithik Roshan, that he is partially Bengali. The Kaabil actor’s grandmother Ira, (dad Rakesh Roshan’s mother) was a Bengali who married legendary musician Roshan, who was a Punjabi.

It looks like every time Hrithik visits Kolkata, a part of his Bengali roots comes to foreground especially when he expresses his love for the regional food. Till now Hrithik has grabbed eyeballs for his perfect looks, films and dancing skills. But after his recent visit to West Bengal, yet another hidden trait of the actor got highlighted – his love for ‘Rosogolla,’ the famous Bengali sweet.

More from the world of Entertainment:

Such was his adulation for the sweet, that Hrithik took to Twitter and wrote, “Thank u for the love all at bhavanipur! Now roshogulla time before we leave! Love u Kolkata!,” while retweeting one of his fans thank you note to him.

Even to the media, the actor was quoted as saying, “My first public appearance was in Kolkata in 2000. My dida’s (grandmother) wish was that my first stage performance is here. There is Bengali blood in me.”
