Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori at Cannes 2009

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori at Cannes 2009  for their upcoming movie Kites

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori Kites First Look

While shooting a critical sequence in Santa Fe, Babara Mori made her shy co-star Hrithik Roshan discard his desi inhibitions to express love in a kiss. When asked about it Hrithik is amused. "Why are we even talking about kissing? Is that such a big deal? Hasn't our cinema grown up? Yes, there're kissing scenes in the film. But nothing to make me squirm. In fact I'd be more than happy and completely comfortable watching those kissing scenes with my wife, son and parents when the film is released." 

Rationalizing the need to look at lip-locking in Bollywood rationally Hrithik argues, "Kites is a love story. It’s about people in love. And what do people in love do to express their mutual feelings? In fact it was Barbara Mori who made me realize how silly we look on screen while shying away from expressing love naturally." 

This happened while Hrithik and Barbara were shooting a tough and dangerous action sequence in Santa Fe. 

"We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so our director Anurag Basu suggested I kiss Barbara since we were doing something dead-defying and dangerous and potentially lethal. I reached out and kissed her on the cheeks. Barbara turned around to ask why I had kissed her on the cheek. 'Given the same situation with your real-life wife Sussanne would you kiss her on the cheek?' I was floored by her logic." 

The take was repeated. "And this time I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation. On the lips," says Hrithik with matter-of-fact directness.

Hrithik babysits Barbara's drink brother

Although Kites actress Barbara Mori has returned to Mexico, she seems to have left behind a responsibility for Hrithik Roshan.

Barbaras brother Kintaro, who is still around in Mumbai, celebrated his birthday on Friday (April 24) at a suburban five-star hotel. Kintaro got sloshed after a few drinks and was in no state to go home by himself. Apparently, when Hrithik got to know about it, he sent his secretary Ashok Vasodia to escort him.

The story goes that Kintaro was having his birthday bash with a few friends at a famous discotheque. As the revelry continued, the alcohol flowed through the night and Kintaro soon lost count of his drinks. The party ended in the wee hours of Saturday with Kintaro completely sozzled. When Hrithik heard that Barbaras brother was not in a condition to reach home by himself, he sent his secretary to take him home safely, said the source.

Kintaro has been in Mumbai to cut an album with T-series . Hrithik has taken the initiative to help Kintaro find his feet in Mumbai and has put him up in a rented house at Andheri. He also introduced the budding singer to Bhushan Kumar of T-Series , said the source.

Hrithik Roshan separates from wife Suzanne - reason Barbara Mori

Ok guys here is the latest on the gossip/rumours doing the rounds about Hrithik Roshan separating from his wife and childhood sweetheart Suzanne Roshan because of his sexy Kites co-star Barbara Mori.

Reports circulating in the last couple of days were that Susanne Roshan has walked out on husband Hrithik Roshan with their two kids and moved into her parents' home in Juhu. The reason for the move is said to be Hrithik's romantic liaison with his Kites co-star Bárbara Mori.

Apparently Susanne had been trying to cope with it for months, but finally made up her mind to walk out. The Roshan family insists that the star's wife has shifted temporarily due to renovations in the house, but according to close sources, that's far from the truth. A family friend of the Roshans informs us, "Hrithik and Susanne have been having problems for a while now." Hrithik has become extremely fond of Barbara's family, including her mother and her brother. Hrithik has made a trip to Amby Valley near Lonavala with the actresses' family, minus his wife. Reveals a source, "The couple (hrithik and wife) hasn't been making public appearances together for months, including at awards functions. However, when the talk of trouble in their marriage began getting louder, they made an appearance together at Amrita Arora's wedding, but their body language spoke volumes. Last week, they even made an appearance at Manish Malhotra's fashion show but something went wrong after that." "They are hoping to find a solution to the problem once Hrithik is back in town," says the friend. All calls to Susanne went unanswered. But she insisted it wasn't because she had walked out on her husband. "This is completely untrue. Duggu and Susanne are very happy and very much in love. Susanne had to shift out of their flat last week with the two kids as their ceiling is undergoing anti-termite treatment. The kids can't stay at home while the treatment is going on so Susanne is staying at her mom's place." Hrithik Roshan flew in last night from South Africa and drove straight to meet Susanne at her parents' place in Juhu. Said Hrithik, "I am here sitting with Susanne in her mom's house after dining with the entire family. We have both shifted here for a week with the kids because of termite problems. "We are renovating sections of our floor." A leading Mumbai tabloid had reported the above -Hrithik and Suzanne have parted ways when she had moved to her parents' house. The article said that trouble began to brew in their paradise after Hrithik started becoming cosy with his 'Kites' co-star, Mexican actress Barbara Mori. But none of this is true. The actor's spokesperson told IANS -Hrithik and Susanne have two sons - Hrehaan, four and Hridhaan who will celebrate his first birthday next month.

What do you guys think ? Publicity for Kites ?????

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori loose their inhibitions during Kites

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori loose their inhibitions during the shooting of upcoming film Kites and in more ways than one. It was kissing as well as shooting high in the air in a hot air balloon. I understand that while shooting for a tough and dangerous action sequence in Santa Fe, Babara Mori made her co-star Hrithik Roshan shed his inhibitions to express love in one of its natural manifestations, the kiss.

Hrithik confirmed this with matter-of-fact directness and said, “We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so director Anurag Basu suggested that I kiss Barbara since we were doing something death-defying and dangerous.

I kissed her on her cheek to which she turned around to ask, ‘Given the same situation with your wife Susanne would you kiss her on the cheek?’ I was floored by her logic. The scene was reshot and I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation.”

An amused Hrithik added, “Is kissing such a big deal? Hasn’t our cinema grown up? There are kissing scenes in Kites but nothing to make me squirm. I’d be more than happy watching those scenes with my wife, son and parents.”

Emphasising the need to look at lip-locking in Bollywood rationally Hrithik argued, “Kites is a love story about people in love. How do people in love express their feelings? Barbara made me realise how silly we look on screen while shying away from expressing love naturally.”

Kites has a long and final schedule in Mumbai, “I first shoot with Kangana Ranaut and then Barbara will join us in January,” Hrithik signed off.

Here are photos of Hrithik and Barbara Mori in the hot air balloon and also a small video clip of the shoot. Also photos of Kangana Ranaut. Some of the photos are courtsey Rajneesh and Jaiti and kites the movie blog
