No disrespect for Salman-Aamir: Htirhik Roshan

No disrespect for Salman-Aamir: Htirhik Roshan

/> An off the cuff, jokey remark by Hrithik about his colleagues has raised some eyebrows.

During the 'rapidfire' round of Koffee With Karan, the prankish host asked Hrithik which among the two Khans, Aamir and Salman, would he like to work with. To this Hrithik, tongue firmly in cheek observed there wasn't much of a choice since they were both of the same height.

The remark has caused some eyebrows to shoot up in the more conservative sections of Bollywood who feel Hrithik was taking a potshot at the two Khans' height.

"Come on!" Hrithik laughs out aloud. "If people really took offence to my off-the-cuff remark then I must say we lack a sense of humour. Karan's show is meant to be light-hearted and fun and I had myself a ball with Priyanka. I certainly didn't mean any disrespect to Salman or Aamir.

"In fact after the comment on their height, my next statement was, 'That's the only department where I can score over them.' Aamir and Salman are such awesome talents. They're legends. It'll take me years to get anywhere near them."

When contacted Karan Johar who's currently visiting the US laughed out aloud.

"Surely even a perfectionist like Hrithik is allowed to have fun on my show. And the remark on Aamir and Salman was certainly not meant to offend. I'm amazed at how seriously we take ourselves in the industry.

"I'm also amazed that Koffee With Karan has become my main claim to fame right now. At airports, restaurants and on the streets in any of the US cities I'm asked about Koffee only. I better direct another film quickly"
