Hrithik was extremely close to his grandfather and had once even shared adorable pictures with him on his social media. He had revealed that it was his maternal grandfather (Nana) who helped him with life lessons. He credited his doctor Dr Oza and his Nana for helping him get over his stammer during childhood.

#MySuperTeacher - My Nana who I lovingly call Deda, for the lessons he has taught me at every stage of my life, which I share with my kids now. And Dr Oza, my speech therapist as a child, who taught me to accept my weakness and helped me overcome my fear of stammer. pic.twitter.com/TCw1qW3Bg0
