Actor Hrithik Roshan, often called as Bollywood’s Greek God, who is currently in the US for a fan meet-and-greet session, revealed that he would secretly go out for auditions because his father-director, Rakesh Roshan, told him to build his own career without depending on his influence.

He further revealed that since he had no money to pay for photoshoots, he approached his friend Daboo Ratnani to do a photo session, promising his friend that he will pay him off once he became an actor.

He further mentions that he decided to audition for a movie called Ta Ra Rum Pum Pum, helmed by Shekhar Kapur, which had “an amazing script.” However, his father was shocked to learn that and dissuaded Hrithik from doing it. Hrithik believes that his father felt a sense of loss that he would not be the one to launch his son. Hrithik Roshan’s debut film, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, in 2000 was a box office blockbuster and set the record for most awards won by an Indian film.
