Someone mentioned he had an extra pinky but that is incorrect and posting a separate post on it. He used to hide it on film but he doesn't so much any more but it is not an extra pinky. He has five fingers on his right hand but there is an extra appendage of his thumb. An extra thumb but it is off the first thumb and not like a whole extra finger. He doesn't have another extra on his hands but that. Excerpt from Wikepedia:
"Roshan felt isolated as a child; he was born with an extra thumb on his right hand which led some of his peers to avoid him. He has stammered since the age of six; this caused him problems at school, and he feigned injury and illness to avoid oral tests. He was helped by daily speech therapy."
If you watch this video you will see his extra thumb but it is just an appendage off the normal thumb. He doesn't have technically six fingers. No extra pinky finger on either hand.
I'm fascinated by a Bollywood actor. Now India has an extensive movie industry, bigger than the US and it is divided culturally. The ones I watch are Hindi movies and that grouping is the Bollywood ones. The actor is probably the most popular in India and he gets wedding proposals all the time although he is already married and has two sons. Well he was married and he was divorced but they got back together. I don't know if he remarried. He is extremely good looking with hazel eyes and his coloring is very light. I think sometimes he gets a tan because I notice differences but he is light. He was born with different problems. He has double thumbs on his right hand. He had scoliosis and they told him he would never dance. HAH! He dances up a storm. He overcame it and he use to stammer and he overcame that. I don't know how many languages he speaks but I do know Hindi and English. He does huge dance numbers at awards shows for movies. In the first video, he sort of does a tribute to Michael Jackson. He met him before he died. I have seen American actors in the audience. He was asked to be in Fast & Furious but had to decline because of other commitments. He usually does light movies that are romantic oriented but they usually are also action adventure movies and some partly science fiction/fantasy. He has played double parts and character roles making himself somewhat unattractive. I saw him first in 2005, and hadn't watched him in a very long time but started again. I'm going to put up two videos here. He wears his hair a number of ways; curly, straight and sometimes in a sort of pompadour style and/or streaked. He is buff. Besides dancing he sings as well. He is a well rounded entertainer. I hope they get him into an American movie soon and don't have him play some shoddy part. He's 6ft. 2in. tall and is now 43. I noticed their language tends to make their voices higher pitched when they sing especially the females.

It is so wrong when people make fun of others that are slightly different. They were born like that for a reason. And thus through the making fun and being isolations these kids grown up to be terrfic in the comunity and way better persons from the rest. For example this bolywood actor that was made fun as a child now is one of the most successfull in bolywood. We should learn to not see only the appearance but the person all together. And as it was said "who cares what people made fun of you that doesnt change who you are"

Ah so its an extra thumb not a pinky ... no big deal ... it has been years since I saw his movies. Couldn't remember the details. Extra finger or not ... he is still one of the hottest male actor in bollywood.
