Hrithik’s Rise to Stardom Marred by Tragic Family Incident

The Roshan Family’s Ups and Downs

The year 2000 was a bittersweet time for the Roshan family. Hrithik Roshan made his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’, but this same year also brought a traumatic event when his father, Rakesh Roshan, was shot by unknown assailants. The documentary series ‘The Roshans’ currently streaming on Netflix brings back memories of this fateful year.

Reflecting on the Past

Hrithik Roshan shared his experiences, along with his mother Pinky and sister Sunaina, about how the family coped during that tumultuous time. Hrithik recalled how his father’s shooting made his newfound success feel hollow, rendering celebrations meaningless.

A Difficult Time

Recalling the shooting, Hrithik describes it as a “difficult time” but expressed not feeling afraid for his father, seeing him as ‘Superman’. Seeing his father’s strength in the hospital, however, provided a fleeting sense of security before reality set in.

Hidden Vulnerability

A month after the incident, Hrithik learned from his mother that his father had woken up in the middle of the night screaming, thinking he had been shot at again. This revelation exposed the vulnerability behind his father’s ‘Superman’ persona, showcasing his concealed soft side.

Emotional Aftermath

Rakesh’s wife, Pinky, spoke tearfully about the confusing mix of emotions during that period, struggling to balance the joy of Hrithik’s success with the pain of Rakesh’s shooting.

Strength in Adversity

Rakesh’s brother, Rajesh Roshan, marveled at Rakesh’s fortitude, recounting how he visited the police station to request the capture of the perpetrators, despite being injured and bleeding.
