After his birthday last week, film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali sang praises of his Guzaarish star Hrithik Roshan. He also gave an interview saying how touched he was by the thoughtful gift given to him by the actor, but when it came to backing up the talk with a thoughtful gesture himself, the director let him down.
A day after SLB's birthday was the launch of the Roshans' new store; however the director didn't show up to wish the couple at the opening, reports Bombay Times. The report quoting sources said, Hrithik is very hurt at Bhansali's no-show. He wanted all his friends to be there, and they were all present to celebrate in their happiness, but the director didn't turn up after promising to do so.
Says an insider, “Honestly, Hrithik didn't expect Bhansali to skip his event. He had invited only people he considered close. People, who mattered to him. And it didn't matter enough for Sanjay to be there. Hrithik is a very emotional guy, and he is feeling let down and hurt by the filmmaker, who he credits for giving him one of the best films of his career.”
When contacted, Hrithik chose to play it down saying, “Yes, I missed him, but he had already planned to come another day as he wasn't in town. So, no reason for hurt.” The SMS ended with a smiley face.
