New Delhi: There was a very close shave for actor Hritik Roshan, who tweeted about being at Istanbul Airport on Tuesday where 4 suicide bombers launched a series of attacks; where at least 36 people have died and 160 have been severely injured. According to Hritik, he escaped the attack in the nick of time. The actor who was holidaying in Spain and Africa with his sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan, took a connecting flight to Mumbai via Istanbul.
