When Hrithik Roshan claimed Kader Khan DELAYED his acting dreams: "He made my life hell'

Before becoming one of Bollywood's most celebrated actors, Hrithik Roshan had to endure a rocky start — and surprisingly, veteran actor-writer Kader Khan played a pivotal role in that struggle. In a candid revelation from an old interview, Hrithik shared how Kader Khan, known for his powerful on-screen presence and commanding voice, once stood in the way of his early acting ambitions. In a revealing throwback interview, Hrithik opened up about a lesser-known chapter from his pre-debut days involving veteran actor and writer Kader Khan. Speaking to film critic Anupama Chopra, Hrithik shared that before he became a Bollywood superstar with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai , he almost ended up studying special effects due to his father's concerns. 'My father, having faced a lot of struggles as an actor, warned me. He said, 'You must have something to fall back on,'' Hrithik recalled. That's when Kader Khan entered the picture and 'made my life hell,' Hrithik said with a chuckle. He recounted how Khan convinced Rakesh to send Hrithik to Bhagubhai Polytechnic College to learn how to fix appliances, advice that temporarily derailed his acting dreams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cost Of Amusement Park Equipment From Mexico Might Surprise You - See Tips Amusement Park Equipment | search ads Click Here Undo A Confused Start to his Career Narrating the humorous turn of events, Hrithik said, 'My dad came home and said, 'You have to do this.

While Hrithik was passionate about acting, the pressure to pursue a "real" career led to a confusing phase. It was a time of doubt, with family expectations clashing against his passion for cinema. Post-Debut Struggles and Self-Doubt Despite Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai making Hrithik an overnight sensation, the road wasn't smooth. Several flops followed, leaving him emotionally shaken.

Ameesha, however, told him not to lose hope, as success in the film industry is often cyclical. And she was right, Hrithik soon bounced back with films like Koi Mil Gaya, Dhoom 2, and Jodha Akbar.
