When Hrithik Roshan recalled meeting Michael Jackson during 'Kites' shoot: ‘It took me time to absorb’

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan vividly recalled the time he met the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, on the set of his 2008 film 'Kites'. In an interview, he said, “I was in my makeup room when two bodyguards came in, followed by a slender, pale man with long hair. Glancing at the mirror, I thought… this must be Michael Jackson… then he approached me saying, ‘Hi, I am Michael, nice to meet you.’”

Hrithik’s Reaction to the Encounter

In a conversation with Farhan Akhtar on his talk show 'Oye, it’s Friday', Hrithik said, “He shook my hand. He went. I went back to my makeup. Suddenly, after two minutes, I realise what I am doing. What am I doing here if Michael Jackson is in the next room?. It took me time to absorb the fact. When it hit me…I caught up and we took some pictures and all. Big fan of his dance…"
