An over-enthusiastic media house recently decided to create some buzz by suggesting that Hrithik Roshan had been sending Disha Patani flirtatious text messages – an allegation that has been vehemently denied by both actors.
Such irresponsible and tasteless gossip would normally be ignored, but in this case, there are some sensitive relationships at stake. Disha Patani is believed to be seeing Tiger Shroff, and the young actor hero-worships Hrithik. They’re even set to work together in the near future.
“Tiger and Hrithik will soon start shooting for a Yash Raj film they’re doing together. This kind of slanderous gossip will create an embarrassing situation for them,” says a close friend of Hrithik’s.
The report also said that Disha had walked out of the aforementioned Yash Raj film due to Hrithik’s flirtatious ways. And though Hrithik has retaliated with a sarcastic tweet, and Disha with a sincere clarification, the damage is done.
“The gossip is out there for public consumption. After his separation from his wife and the Kangana Ranaut controversy, Hrithik has been making an effort to steer clear of affairs and scandals. He doesn’t need such cheesy gossip,” says another source close to Hrithik.
But apparently, it’s Tiger who’s embarrassed to face his Hrithik in the wake of this incident, and not the other way round. Says a source close to Tiger, “He is too innocent to handle all this.”
