Six-pack doesn’t signify health, says Hrithik

Actor Hrithik Roshan, known for his chiselled body, says that six-pack abs are not a criterion to determine health. Hrithik believes that exercise keeps one in good physical and emotional shape.
Accompanied by brother-in-law Zayed Khan at Dr Batra’s Positive Health Awards 2013, Hrithik shared his idea of what constitutes fitness. “To be healthy you have to eat right and you have to do some cardiovascular [workout],” IANS quoted him as saying. Mind body and soul — three things you have to work out every single day. Emotional health is also important and so is keeping good company.”
During his college days, Hrithik’s health had been declared by doctors as insufficient for a profession like acting, reported Masala!. But his willpower and health regimen made him fight back. Contrary to popular belief, Hrithik told Masala! that he is not exactly ‘into’ body building. “I don’t have the fittest or the best body in Bollywood. Everyone is touting me as a Greek god, which I am not,” the 39-year-old confessed.
Hrithik is currently busy promoting his upcoming superhero film Krrish 3, in which he will be sporting six-pack abs. However, explaining his idea of health at the event, Hrithik proclaimed, “When I say healthy, I don’t mean six-pack abs. Those are not important. They are just aesthetic. Those are things that Zayed  and I have to do because we are in movies. But that doesn’t signify health.”
On the buzz that Kareena Kapoor is building a six-pack for Shuddhi, Hrithik, who plays the male lead in the film, wished her luck if this holds true, reported IANS. Although the film’s director Karan Malhotra has rejected the news, Hrithik commented on it, saying, “This is her [Kareena’s] choice, all the best to her”.
