Rakesh Roshan SLAMS Kangana’s statement that Hrithik is hiding behind him, says he play an active part in his son’s life! Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan recently commented that his son’s revelations about a certain allegation by an actress about their relationship would shock the public. Kangana Ranaut, known to voice her opinion on all issues, personal and professional, jumped into the fray to wonder why a father (Rakesh) needed to speak for his son (Hrithik Roshan). At a recent event, Kangana said, “I want to know why Indian men can’t stand for themselves. He (Hrithik) is 43 years old. Why does his father always have to come to his rescue? For how long will he keep hiding behind his big, influential father’s name? He is an adult and can pretty much handle his own controversies in show business. It is just a simple controversy. Why does daddy have to save his son? I don’t understand this.”

Earlier, when asked to react to Kangana’s response, Rakesh Roshan had kept quiet and said he would speak at an appropriate time. Now, for the first time, Rakesh reacts to Kangana. He says, “I am still a working father and I proudly play an active part in my son’s life. And for those who find that unacceptable, let me say that for parents — children, whether 43 or 83 years old — are still children.”
