As Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai celebrates 25 years since its release, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan revisited his early days in the film industry by sharing pages from his handwritten notes on Instagram. The film, which marked Hrithik’s Bollywood debut, remains a cherished milestone in his illustrious career.
Hrithik Shares Personal Notes from 27 Years Ago
In his notes, written during his preparation for Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Hrithik expressed determination and resilience. One excerpt read, “One life. That’s it—only one life, one chance, don’t f*** it up, don’t give a s*** about small failures… Just keep going, don’t break.”
The actor also emphasized trusting instincts and doing things his way. He wrote, “Do it the way you want it! Cause that’s the best way! One day, just believe!”
The notes also revealed his attention to physical and vocal preparation. Hrithik mentioned working on his physique, writing, “Need a lot of biceps for a broader upper chest also,” and overcoming stuttering, noting, “Speech—talk without being conscious at all of stuttering… It doesn’t happen anymore! It’s all in the mind!”
Hrithik Reflects on His Journey
Sharing the photos of his notes, Hrithik wrote in his caption, “My notes from 27 years ago. Prepping as an ACTOR for my first movie Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. I remember how nervous I was. Still am when starting a movie. I’d be embarrassed sharing these, but after 25 years of being in the industry, I guess I can handle it.”
Reflecting on his journey, Hrithik remarked, “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.”
