Shocking as it may seem, it has now emerged that Hrithik practices speech therapy for one hour every day for he fears that he might begin stammering again.For those who are stunned, let us inform you that the actor used to stammer from the age of six and it was only after intense speech therapy classes that he overcame the flaws in his speech. Speaking about his speech problems on Farah Khan’s show Tere Mere Beech Mein, Hrithik said, “I would repeat the alphabets A-Z in all the different forms. I remember once, I had even practiced for 36 hours so, I could tell my cook what I wanted to eat." What’s more is that this is the first time that Hrithik has ever spoken so elaborately about his problem. Speaking to Farah, the actor openly talked about the troubles he had faced while growing up, as well as when he was in the industry, due to his speech worries. "I was getting the Best Debut Actor for my first movie in Dubai and I wanted to say, `I love you Dubai` in my speech in the award function. But I couldn`t say `Dubai`. I wanted to practice saying `Dubai` but for that I had to scream Dubai loudly. I couldn`t do that in my hotel room because my voice was being heard outside. I went to the bathroom and yelled `Dubai` but even then, it could be heard by people outside. Thankfully, there was a big cupboard in the room. I locked myself up in the cupboard and practiced saying `Dubai.` Finally, at the awards function, I was able to say that with a flow", he added.
