Basking in the success of Kaabil, Hrithik Roshan talks about his preparation for playing a visually challenged guy.
The word ‘Kaabil’ in Hindi means capable. A person with disability is often considered incapable of fighting for himself and the person he loves. Hrithik Roshan, in his latest film Kaabil, has challenged this notion. He has convincingly played the role of a visually challenged person who is on a revenge mission.
From playing a mentally challenged boy in Koi... Mil Gaya to a quadriplegic in Guzaarish and now a visually impaired person in Kaabil, Hrithik has never shied away from doing challenge roles. However, preparing for such roles is not easy. “It was difficult, especially the skill part of it,” said Hrithik, in an interview with THE WEEK. “Among all the difficult characters I have played so far, playing a visually challenged person was the most difficult one. But it became really easy because once you research and get more information, things start to make sense and you become more comfortable because you follow the truth and not a lot is left to doubts.”

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
