Hrithik's life changing experience with 'Guzaarish'

The actor, who met with people suffering from the disorder while working on his role, came across some young, talented people who were left incapacitated due to paraplegia.

The experience has left a deep impact on the actor's mind and he has decided to help them monetarily as well as through any other means possible, a source close to Hrithik said.

"Hrithik is taking his role very seriously and has been reading up on paraplegia and watching videos to understand and study their mannerisms and behaviour.

"In fact, he even visited several people affected by the disease to get a first hand account of their experiences," the source said.

The first schedule of the film is already in progress. It stars Hrithik and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles.
