When Vicky Kaushal urged his father to make him meet Hrithik Roshan
Mumbai, July 8
Actor Vicky Kaushal shared a fun incident of when he first met Hrithik Roshan during his appearance on the chat show 'Too Much with Kajol and Twinkle'.
Vicky said that when he learned that his father, Sham Kaushal, was working with Hrithik, he requested him to introduce him to the 'Koi Mil Gaya' actor.
However, his father told him that Hrithik only meets with those kids who can perform the hook steps to the 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena' track from 'Kaho Naa....Pyaar Hain'.
Recalling the fanboy moment, Vicky was heard saying, "I am still such a huge fan of Hrithik Roshan. So, his first film, 'Kaho Naa....Pyaar Hain' had come out, and everybody, like every kid in the country, was mad about him. And I got to know that my dad is working with him, and I was like, 'Can I get to meet him?' And he played that trick on me. I don't know for what reason. He was like, 'He only meets with kids who can do the 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena' steps'."
Vicky added that he ended up rehearsing the song for three days, thinking that Hrithik would ask him to perform and would later fall in love with him after seeing his performance.
When Vicky finally got to meet Hrithik, he found him to be extremely sweet, and he even ended up clicking pictures with him.
It must be noted that Vicky is yet to share screen space with Hrithik.
Talking about Vicky's professional commitments, he will soon be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's eagarly awaited love saga "Love & War".
The drama is believed to be inspired by the Bollywood classic "Sangam", which had Ranbir's grandfather Raj Kapoor, along with Vyjayanthimala and Rajendra Kumar as the lead.
Along with "Love & War", Vicky has also been roped in to lead the forthcoming mythological fantasy drama "Mahavatar: The Epic Saga", directed by Amar Kaushik.

Brothers, mein ne bhi try kiya tha woh step, but failed miserably. Vicky is truly the OG Hrithik fanboy. Love how genuine he is about his admiration. Aur ab woh khud ek superstar hai - what a journey! 🔥
This is such a sweet story. It's great to see actors being open about their fan moments. Three days of practice just to meet your idol - that's dedication. Hope they get to work together soon!
Woh time bhi kya time tha jab Hrithik ka craze tha. Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai ka soundtrack ghar ghar mein bajta tha. Vicky's dad was a genius for motivating him through that trick. Indian parents always find creative ways to get kids to practice their hobbies 😂
As someone who doesn't follow Bollywood closely, this is incredibly endearing. Vicky seems like such a down-to-earth person. The fact that he still cherishes that fan moment shows his humble nature. Also, Hrithik Roshan must be a wonderful person to inspire such loyalty.
Honestly, this is the kind of wholesome content we need more of. Vicky's rise from fanboy to National Award winner is inspiring. But I wish articles would focus more on his craft rather than just such anecdotes. Still, a lovely story for a Tuesday morning ☕
