As Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai re-releases in theatres on Tuesday to mark its 25th anniversary, Hrithik Roshan, who debuted with the film, took to social media to share handwritten notes from the time when he first prepped for the role.
“Prepping as an ACTOR for my first movie Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, I remember how nervous I was. Still am when starting a movie,” he captioned the post on X.
Reflecting on how process is the only thing that remains, Hrithik wrote, “Then to now, what’s changed ? I see these pages and realise - absolutely nothing. Good thing ? Bad thing ? It’s just how it is. Only process remains. So much to be thankful for. So much to be grateful for. So much left to do.”
“It’s the 25th anniversary of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. And the ONLY thing I want to celebrate are these scribbles in my rough book. Only thing I am relieved about is the proof of resilience. The first page says “one day“ at the bottom No such day happened, it never came. Or maybe it did but I missed it cause I was in prep,” he concluded the post.
Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai released on January 14, 2000 and launched Hrithik Roshan in Hindi cinema. The film, directed by his father Rakesh Roshan, was a cultural phenomenon. It is remembered for its songs and Hrithik’s praiseworthy presentation of his dancing and acting skills, that too in his first film. It also starred Ameesha Patel.
