Hrithik Roshan: Actor Hrithik Roshan, who has been the face of many blockbuster films in Hindi cinema, is celebrating his 51st birthday today. The special thing is that this year he has also completed twenty-five years as an actor in the industry. His first film Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was released in theaters in the year 2000. This film has been released in theaters today. In a recent meeting, he told that he is excited to know the reaction of the audience. (Laughs) This thought also comes to my mind that the audience might wonder what they were thinking twenty-five years ago after watching the film, but it is not like that.
Didn’t sleep before shooting the song Pyaar Ki Kashti
People liked the songs of the film very much. To be honest, every song has some memories associated with it. During the shooting of the song Pyaar Ki Kashti, I am seen playing the guitar on the screen. I got that guitar a day before the shooting. I had to play it. I had to pretend that I was an expert in playing guitar, which I was not. I spent the whole night physically matching sounds. I did not sleep the whole night and only then was I able to play the music in view of the beats during the shooting. Today, when I see my son playing the guitar, I realize how tuneless the guitar I had played in that film was.
Didn’t think about 25 years of stardom
When Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was released. Even at that time I had not thought that I would remain active in this industry for 25 years. To be honest, I had never thought so far ahead and neither do I think even today. I live in today.What will be the next film? What will be my dedication in that? I just focus on that. Not more than that. I like to experiment with something new with every film. Likes to work hard.
The real journey of acting started from this film
I have completed twenty-five years in the industry, but my acting journey truly started after the film Kaabil. Before that, I had completely planned my acting in every film. I have to breathe like this. While speaking this dialogue, you have to hold your breath. This expression has to be kept here. There should be this much light on the face. I did not add anything to the script or dialogues. In Kaabil, I did not act by planning. I left the actor within me free. Which was not in the dialogue. I said that to myself too. Not mechanical acting but natural acting.
as a film director
I am often asked the question of directing films, but to be honest, I have still not been able to decide on the direction of films. Maybe in the coming four-five years I will have the answer that I will be able to direct films. Or not. Do I have enough understanding or vision that I can bring a script to life on screen?
still shy
I have completed twenty-five years in the industry, but I am not looking at it as a legacy or a milestone that yes, I have done it. I still remember when Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was released. At that time I was a very shy and restless person. I had not been a part of even a single promotional event at that time. After the release of the film, Gatti went with his friends. People were going crazy to touch me. Even at that time I was not able to understand whether it was good or bad. I was asking my friends. He said that it is good. To tell the truth, I am still very shy. I am thankful to the media in this journey. He has made me both responsible and accountable in this journey.
