Fighter actor Akshay Oberoi has often shared how Hrithik Roshan inspired him to become an actor and sharing screen space with him was truly a dream come true for him.

Akshay Oberoi on admiring Hrithik Roshan

When asked why he considers Hrithik as his mentor, Akshay states, “It’s the small things he does. I got a chance to dance with him in Sher Khul Gaye and he is known as the Micheal Jackson of India. One of the greatest dancers we have ever seen. He kind taught the nation how to dance.”

Appreciating his hardwork, the actor shares, “We were shooting for Sher Khul Gaye and I was nervous practicing my moves in the studio. Then I saw Hrithik practicing up and down the stage where we were going to shoot relentlessly. To be where he is, one needs to have that kind of tenacity and mental stamina to just keep going. He has nothing left to prove yet he is constantly trying to prove something which is insane. Most of us will never reach his level of stardom, but I tried to work hard and look good with him.”
