Hrithik Roshan's car runs over a beggar!

The actor thought he had run over a beggar, only to realise it was all fake

Yesterday evening, Hrithik Roshan drove out of his building Palazzio and headed to Yash Chopra’s Juhu Bungalow. Little did he know, what a fiasco awaited him later on in the evening.

It all started when Hrithik came out of Chopra’s house in his car. Three beggars came knocking at the car window.

Hrithik’s driver, who has been with the star since his first film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, and has never erred so far, slowed the car down.

But one of the beggars (circled in red, Pic 1) was up to some real mischief.

The beggar in question threw himself before the car and started screaming that he had been hurt.

He held his leg and turned sides yelling, ‘Maar dala, maar dala’. (See, Pic 2)

A few miscreants joined the scene and started pulling the beggar back to his feet, without succeeding. (See, Pic 3) “The idea was to convince Hrithik that the beggar had been badly injured,” informed a source.

Says an eyewitness, “Hrithik and his driver knew that they were not wrong. But then they got really scared. What if the beggar had been really hurt?”

Hrithik’s driver drove off to Hrithik’s Juhu building taking the actor back to safety. The driver was soon sent back by the well-mannered superstar.

The driver who was as concerned about the whole thing as Hrithik and a little nervous about the same, since he was the one who was driving the car, went back to the spot immediately after dropping the actor off.

Seeing that it was all a big drama created by some crazy fans, he reported back to Roshan, to put him at ease.

When contacted, Hrithik confirmed and said, “I was concerned. I sent my man back with money and a car to take the beggar to a hospital if need be. But when he got there, he realized that he was faking it,” and added, “It was a ploy to get me out of the car.”

I was concerned. But later realised, it was just a ploy to get me out of the car. It was all fake - Hrithik Roshan
