Hrithik turns English teacher for Barbara Mori
t's not just fame that "Kites" has brought to Mexican actress Barbara Mori. She has also learnt English while shooting for the romantic-action thriller and it was none other than co-star Hrithik Roshan who turned teacher on the sets.
Apparently Barbara and Hrithik made a pact. Hrithik would teach Barbara English and Barbara would teach him Spanish while shooting for the movie.
"I don't know how much of the promised linguistic exchange worked, but Hrithik knows enough Spanish to understand Mori better than his character in 'Kites' who can't follow a word of what she says in the film," said a crew member.
Barbara has picked up enough to conduct herself coherently with the media in Cannes although apparently she would often turn to Hrithik to get the right word.
Film producer and Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan told IANS: "Barbara knew only Spanish when she started shooting for 'Kites'.
