Hrithik Roshan
has broken his silence! The actor has issued a statement after almost two years
of silence. This is first time he has addressed the issue directly.

Hrithik's
statement read, "I choose to be on a path of creativity, productivity and
constructive work. Anything that isn't in alignment with that, I tend to
ignore, sidestep and treat as a distraction.
I believe that
ignorance, non reaction and staying on the path of dignity is the best way to
discourage any persistent unwanted intrusions. But Just like a nagging health
issue sometimes ignored can turn malignant, this situation for me has
unfortunately turned malignant.
In case of the
matter at hand , it seems the media has no intention of letting go.
I don't see any
grace in adding to this circus by testifying in defence of my character in a
situation that I have no involvement in whatsoever.
I have been
dragged into a dirty perverse mess without a choice in the matter. This is
something that is not of my making.
The truth is, I
have never met the lady in question one on one in my entire life. Yes, we have
worked together, but there has been no meeting in private. Thats the truth
Please understand,
I am not fighting against an allegation of an affair. Or being childish trying
to uphold a ‘good guy” image. I am very aware of my faults, I am human.
I am in fact
protecting myself from something far more serious, sensitive and destructive
than that.
Sadly, very few
from the media or the public seem to be interested in the truth. This has been
a hard-learnt fact for me.

If the people are
comfortable with a lie because it doesn't threaten their model of the world
where a girl is the victim and the man the aggressor then so be it. I am ok
with that too.
Women have
suffered centuries of abuse at the hands of men and it infuriates me how some
men can be so brutal and they deserve the harshest punishment. But by that
logic if it ordains that one man can't be vulnerable and one woman can't be a
liar, so be it. I'm ok with that too.
An alleged 7-year
long, passionate affair between two high profile celebrities with no trail left
behind.
No evidence, no
paparazzi pictures, no witnesses, not even a memento in possession like a
selfie taken at the alleged engagement which is claimed to have happened in
Paris in Jan 2014. Nothing that constitutes an exchange or any sort of proof of
a romantic relationship.
Yet we want to
believe the other party because the rhetoric is -why would a girl lie.
My passport
details show no travel outside the country in Jan 2014, which is the date that
this alleged engagement supposedly took place. In Paris.
The only so-called
proof presented of this alleged "relationship", was a photoshopped
picture in the media. This was immediately exposed, the very next day by
friends including my ex-wife.
These questions
are not even asked, because we are taught to protect the woman, as we should. I
myself have been brought up to think the same way, by my parents and the
wonderful women in my life who have been my rock and support system. I'm deeply
grateful to them. I will do my best to teach my children the same values of
family and dignity. And yes, I will teach them to stand up for women. Always.
There are 3000 one
sided mails which either I have sent to myself or the woman in question has
sent to me. The Cyber-Crime Dept. can prove or disprove either story, in just a
few days. Towards that purpose, I have surrendered all my devices including
laptops / phones etc which are still lying with the cyber cell , but the other
party has refused to do so. The investigation hasn't been closed.
This is not, and I
repeat, not a lovers spat. I humbly request people to stop labelling it as one
and, for a second, try and see it for what it really is.
I have been
harassed by this for 4 years and the well meaning and probably necessary social
bias toward women has deemed me helpless in defending myself.
I am not angry, I
have seldom allowed anger into my life. I have not had a single fight in my
life, with a man or a woman. Even in my divorce, there was no fight. I, and
those around me, have always chosen peace.
I am not here to
accuse or judge anyone, but it's time I defend the truth because when truth
suffers the collective consciousness of society suffers. Civilization suffers.
Closer to home, families suffer. Children suffer."
