Amitabh's candid thought about Hrithik Roshan

The contestant, who is an ardent fan of Hrithik Roshan, recalls his childhood memories of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. It was Hrithik’s debut film. He says, “When his first movie released, we would get posters, and I used to go to the theatre with my friends. I hung the poster in my room and would watch it all the time, trying to copy his dance moves."

Ashutosh fondly remembers how his teachers used to give him pictures of Hrithik Roshan as a reward when he completed his homework. “If someone says I resemble him even 2 percent, I feel so happy,” Ashutosh adds with a smile. Amitabh also shares a candid thought about working with Hrithik Roshan and says, “He is a very ordinary human being, as you said, and he dances wonderfully.”
