Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan once revealed how he secretly restored some of his favourite shots in the editing of his debut film, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, after his father and the film’s director, Rakesh Roshan, had removed them.
An old video from one of his appearances on The Kapil Sharma Show has resurfaced online, offering a glimpse into the actor’s early days in the film industry and his determination to retain shots he believed strengthened the scenes.
Recalling the experience, Hrithik said his father was extremely objective in the editing room and did not give him any special consideration as his son. Rakesh would cut shots without hesitation, even when Hrithik felt they were particularly good.
The actor said he would watch the editing process closely but rarely challenge his father directly. Instead, after Rakesh left the editing studio, Hrithik would return there in an auto-rickshaw, using the keys he had, and secretly put the discarded shots back into the edit.
He would then seek the editor’s opinion on whether the restored shots improved the scene. If the editor agreed, Hrithik would ask him to show the revised sequence to Rakesh the following day without revealing who had made the changes.
According to Hrithik, his father would watch the sequence, realise that something had been altered, and eventually approve it by saying, “Okay, fine.”
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, released in 2000, marked Hrithik’s Bollywood debut and became a major success, establishing him as one of the industry’s leading young stars.
