The renowned actor Khan was utterly astounded upon observing Hrithik's exceptional dance abilities, particularly during the iconic song "Ek Pal Ka Jeena" from the film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. He expressed, "To be considered one of the greatest superstars in the history of Indian cinema is truly remarkable. And when that song commenced to play... (hums Ek Pal Ka Jeena). When I witnessed his performance, I was shocked by his remarkable dancing skills. That was an aspect of his talent that I was unaware of."

Reflecting on Hrithik's debut performance, Khan noted, "It was his first film, so obviously, he must be nervous; he must be searching things, finding things. And to come out, as if he's been working in films for ten years."

SRK and Hrithik shared screen space in Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... released in 2001.

Hrithik Roshan's early exposure to cinema

Hrithik Roshan's journey in cinema began long before he became a well-known actor. During his childhood, he made uncredited appearances in several family films, particularly in his grandfather J. Om Prakash's productions, Aasha (1980) and Aap Ke Deewane (1980). His only speaking role during this early period was in Bhagwaan Dada (1986), where he portrayed Govinda, the adopted son of the main character. Despite these early experiences, his father, Rakesh Roshan, stressed the significance of focusing on his education prior to fully dedicating himself to an acting career.

Upon completing his education, Hrithik took on the role of an assistant to his father on several film projects, including Khudgarz (1987), King Uncle (1993), Karan Arjun (1995), and Koyla (1997). During this period, he undertook a variety of responsibilities on set, ranging from cleaning the floors to serving tea, all while closely observing the seasoned professionals in the industry. He frequently reenacted scenes from Koyla, recording himself to assess his performance and refine his skills.

Hrithik's commitment ultimately led to his breakthrough role in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), which was directed by his father. The film achieved tremendous success, garnering Hrithik widespread recognition and numerous awards.
