In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Kartik Aaryan opened up about that one Hrithik Roshan movie he watched as a kid in theatres and talked about its massive craze.
Kartik Aaryan is currently gearing up for the release of his sports drama Chandu Champion which is eyeing a release on June 14 this year. He has been in the industry for over a decade now and now the actor has opened up about one of the first few times that he got introduced to the magic of cinema on the big screen.
Kartik Aaryan recalls the madness of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai
Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai was released in 2000 and marked the big-screen debut of Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel. The movie was a blockbuster hit and emerged as one of the brightest pop culture phenomena.
Speaking exclusively to Pinkvilla, Kartik Aaryan spoke about the same and shared, “I remember watching Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai as a kid and there was this madness. I can recall vaguely going to theatres and watching it. The songs, Hritik sir’s dance. I enjoyed it a lot… That was a perfect launch and it was like a full package.”
