Hrithik Roshan’s message
Describing himself as “no poet”, Hrithik wrote in his note about a kind of strength which, in his words, is quiet but steady. He described Ridan as a “peaceful warrior” and said he had witnessed his resilience time and again.
“I’m so proud of the vulnerability you wear so openly, but just behind it – there exists a second skin, flexible, unwavering. It’s easy to miss. But I’ve seen it – again and again. You are a raging fire… behind calm eyes. You are a different kind of warrior. Not loud, not restless – but steady, aware and deeply strong. A kind so rare that it often leaves me bewildered. A peaceful warrior. This world needs more of her. The world will test you. But I already know how you will face it. Happy 18th, I love you.”
Happy 18th Birthday Ridan!
I’m no poet, but I’m sharing what I wrote for you in 2021.. because some things are worth repeating.
I’m so proud of the vulnerability that you wear so openly, but right behind it-
There exists a second skin, flexible and immovable.It’s easy to miss.
