When it comes to looks, green-eyed heartthrob Hrithik Roshan has few rivals in Bollywood. His chiselled face, sculpted body and superb dancing abilities have been making women go weak in the knees ever since he debuted with Kaho Na Pyaar Hain in 1998. While Hrithik could be aware of the effect he has on women, he most certainly wasn’t prepared for what Sumukhi Suresh had in store for him in the Netflix anthology Lust Stories where she recommends a thing or two regarding “self-love” to women.

In the one-minute-long video from Radhika Apte's segment in the anthology, the comedienne described gutsy women who don’t mince words when it comes to pleasure. They’d say: “Ghar jaana aaj, thodi sexy music lagana, darwaza bandh kar dena aur apne do haathon ko saaf karna pehle, because hygiene first. Phir Hrithik Roshan ka naam leke bas…”

No need to squint harder for the fine print, because Sumukhi has quite obviously implied that women fantasise about Bollywood’s one-and-only Greek God while pleasuring themselves. Needless to say, the video caught the fancy of Miss Malini who promptly tagged Hrithik in the video on Twitter.

Here’s the tweet:

The usually reticent actor surprised everyone by replying to the tweet. He admitted that while it was embarrassing for him, it was flattering at the same time.

Here’s what he said:

Hrithik has been considered the golden standard for male beauty in Bollywood and his looks have often been likened to Greek Gods. But in the actor’s latest project, he has departed from his usual glamorous style adopted a more toned-down look as mathematician Anand Kumar, the founder of Super 30 that helps 30 most-gifted students from needy families.
