We are all in admiration of celebrities. We find them to be perfect in every respect, but in reality this is not the case. Celebrities too have to deal with problems. Celebrities have a tough life as they have to maintain the perfection in order to get public adulation. Many celebrities suffered from some disorder which they overcome by a strong will power. Any disability or disorder can be overcome by sheer determination. One such example of overcoming disability through will power and strong determination is our very own Actor Hrithik Roshan.

Hrithik’s Disability

Hrithik Roshan has been dazzling the fans with his killer looks and performance. He with a well chiseled body and Greek God like looks is a much sought after Bollywood hero. His charming personality is unmatched and is much adulated by both male and female fans. He had a dark secret which is now no more a secret. Hrithik has a speech disorder known as stammering. Hrithik used to stammer since he was a kid, as a result of which he became a shy and introvert child. The stammering affected his confidence levels. He faced many problems due to this speech disorder. According to his own confession, he was laughed at. Stammering was a hindrance for him in achieving his goals. His burning desire to become an actor made his determination of overcoming stammering more strong.

Overcoming Stammering a Life Changing Moment

When Hrithik decided that he had to overcome his stammering, he joined speech therapy classes. With his determined perseverance and will power, Hrithik could overcome his speech disorder. He used to repeat all the alphabets in different manners so as to have a strong grip on pronunciation thereby boosting his confidence levels. He used to practice in front of the mirror alone in a room for long hours to improve his speech skills. He used to practice and still does for long hours. He is also quite open about his speech disorder and this openness without a feeling of shame or guilt has in turn made him more confident in front of people.

Practice Makes Perfect

Hrithik still practices speech therapy everyday for an hour so as to prevent relapsing into speech disorder again. By practicing regularly, Hrithik has managed to overcome his disability. He now speaks with a flow. Hrithik is now a role model for his fans and he is truly an inspiration for all those people who have stammering problems. Hrithik has shown that one can overcome anything in life with just a strong will power. Hrithik has able to carve a niche for himself with hard work and determination.

Hrithik is an actor so he needed to have a clear diction and good speaking skills. It must have been very difficult to overcome his disability. But i am glad that he overcame or else we would have missed out a great actor.
