The incident was shared by a Twitter user. The user wrote how their cousin got ridiculed in front of the entire class by a professor for stuttering.
The tweet read. "My cousin who has a stuttering issue was giving a presentation in his class when the HOD/ lecturer told him 'If you cannot speak properly maybe you shouldn't study' in front of the entire class. He hasn't come out of his room since this incident. (sic).”
Replying to the tweet, Hrithik Roshan wrote. "Please tell your cousin that that professor and his judgment both are irrelevant. Stuttering should never hold him back from dreaming BIG ! Tell him it's NOT his fault and it's NOT something he needs to be ashamed of. People who shame him are no better than brainless monkeys."
Last year, Bollywood actress Sameera Reddy, opened up in an interview with IANS. She spoke about how Hrithik Roshan helped her overcome her problem with stammering. Sameera said that Hrithik gifted her a book to help her. "Hrithik, being the sweet and caring person he is, noticed this, and gave me a book that changed my life. It helped me overcome my fear. Gradually, I started noticing changes in my speech. I cannot thank Hrithik enough for that book and I still have it with me."
On the professional front, Hrithik Roshan last featured in War. The film also starred Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor.
