BULLYING. A word that might ruin school life for young kids. Sometimes, an innocent prank by children might turn into a scarring event for another kid. So, it is important that we be kind and compassionate with each other.
Speaking of which, A Hrithik Roshan fan recently found an inspirational story about the actor in her niece’s textbook. Hrithik, who was once bullied in school for stammering, featured in the textbooks of Class 6 students in Tamil Nadu, reports India Today.
Have a look at the ecstatic fan’s tweet:
Felt bored, so I was reading a textbook of my niece. I was surprised to see this page. This is from the value education textbook of class 6. Whoelse can teach self-confidence better than him?Proud of you @iHrithik sir❤️ @HrfcTamilnadu @HrithikRules @HrithikInspires pic.twitter.com/ukwlDkqa0N

Titled as ‘Self Confidence’, the chapter speaks about how the successful Bollywood actor overcame his stammering as a child, reports Hindustan Times. The passage also mentions how Hrithik would go home crying after being bullied for his stammering at school. He later joined speech therapy classes to overcome the problem. The actor even practiced speaking different words in front of the mirror for hours daily.
Pleasantly shocked to find this. How I wish I could go back in time and show the 11 year old me this image.
Is this a little thing or really as big as it feels inside me? Perhaps the biggest recognition i’v ever received.
Thank you for this. pic.twitter.com/o48sFbksp3— Hrithik Roshan (@iHrithik) April 23, 2019
However, this is not the first time the actor has featured in a book. He had earlier featured in author Ben Brooke Stories For Boys Who Dare To Be Different. Hrithik first spoke about his stammering on a show called ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’. He said,
“Everything seems normal until you start talking. Your heart palpitates, you don’t understand and you are aware of people looking at you.”
Many people were inspired by the ‘Super 30’ actor’s motivational tale:
Hrithik’s determination and will power is incredible! A perfect role model!
