When Shah Rukh Khan stopped leaving the house because of Hrithik Roshan

‘Kahu Na Pyaar Hai’ was Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s first film as a hero after which he became famous overnight.

The film’s box office success did not bode well for some superstars.

According to the newspaper Indian Express, the success of Hrithik Roshan’s film overshadowed Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’ and Aamir Khan’s film ‘Mela’.

At that time, the domestic media showed diligence and started writing about Shahrukh’s retirement and it was said that Hrithik Roshan had replaced the top film star. King Khan was not happy about this.

Anupama Chopra’s book titled ‘King of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema’ was published in 2007. In the book, the author mentioned the tension between the two actors who later worked together in the film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’.

Shah Rukh Khan’s stance on the tension was written in the book, in which the superstar said, ‘It is very wrong. You cannot take away 10 years of work. One morning you can’t suddenly say to me, ‘Oh! Your era is over. You are older. You are not very good’.

‘I couldn’t leave the house at that time without someone asking me what I thought of Hrithik Roshan. It was a shame.’

On this occasion, Shahrukh Khan would isolate himself in his house and ask his son Aryan who is the best? Aryan’s reply would have been ‘You are the best.’

Shah Rukh Khan’s wife Gauri was unhappy with the negative attitude of the media. He stopped giving interviews. However, after some time she was ready to pose for a women’s magazine ‘Savoy’.

“People are pulling you down because they are fed up with your success,” Gowri said. But ultimately your fate and future cannot be decided by the media. Those who are writing all this did not get success compared to Shahrukh Khan.’

After Shah Rukh Khan appeared in a Pepsi ad, tension rose. Hrithik Roshan landed a Coca-Cola ad in which he appeared more attractive to women.

Director Karan Johar has discussed this issue in his autobiography ‘An Able Boy’.

He wrote that Shah Rukh Khan stayed away from Hrithik Roshan on the sets of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham due to the negativity in the media.

Karan Johar wrote that ‘It was unfair because Hrithik Roshan was so junior and Shah Rukh was already such a big star.

‘But that was when one or two of Shahrukh’s films failed and the media started picking up Hrithik. The negative atmosphere thus created was not justified or justified.

‘It was really sad. I felt Hrithik was the only one who needed a bit of hand holding during the shoot.

‘See, actors from the Bachchan family don’t compare with him. What was happening at that time, Shah Rukh Khan was a bit distant from it. Actress Kajol was a part of team Shahrukh.
