Hrithik Roshan, Shahrukh salute ‘real hero’ Nitin

Bollywood heros Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan have paid tribute to fireman Nitin Ivalekar.

Nitin Ivalekar lost his life when the top two floors of a 22-storeyed building in Mumbai went up in flames.

The deceased fireman was trapped along with 10 other colleagues in the thick smoke billowing on the top of the Lotus Business park building in suburban Andheri West Friday and succumbed. The building also houses Hrithik's office.

Shah Rukh and Hrithik took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share their condolences and salute the brave men who came to everyone's rescue.

Hrithik Roshan thereafter tweeted: ‘Respect for the brave firemen who risked their lives today to extinguish d flames. True courage.
