Vicky Kaushal’s memorable first meeting with Hrithik Roshan

Vicky revealed a fascinating encounter involving his idol, Hrithik. He said, “So I was, still am, such a huge fan of Hrithik. When his first film, 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai', came out, everybody, every kid in the country, was mad about him. And, I got to know my dad is working with him. Till then, I had never asked ki 'papa mujhe isse milwa do, mujhe pata bhi nahi hota tha filmset kya hota hai, kaise hota hai'.”He added, “I was in the tenth standard, I still remember, and I was like, ‘Can I get to meet him?’ And he played a trick on me, I don’t know for what reason, he was like, ‘Yaar par woh toh unhi baccho se milta hai jinko 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena' karna aata hai.’" That's when Vicky revealed, "Mai teen din se rehearsal kiye jaa raha hun ki main Hrithik sir se milunga, woh bolenge karke dikhao, mai karke dikha dunga aur woh mere pyaar mei padd jayenge.

That day, when I had gone on set, he was very sweet, and we clicked pictures."
