"I've been signed for the right reasons"

Ask him about the hype that surrounds him and Hrithik shrugs it off. "The kind of guy I am, I'm a very shy introvertish sort. I don't like all this hype. But I accept it because there's nothing I can do about it, I'd prefer it if I was not written about so much. I just want to do my work and go home. I'm not a very social person. But I have accepted that all this is part and parcel of being an actor.

"I'm very happy that people have signed me after watching my film. Vinod Chopra signed me after he saw portions of Kaho Naa. I'm glad that I'm not stuck with proposal makers who have signed me because they think I'll be a huge star. They have seen me act and that's why they've signed me. That's a big boost for me."
