Actor Hrithik Roshan revisited his memories as his debut film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai celebrated its 25th anniversary. On Instagram, Hrithik shared photos of his old handwritten notes, reflecting on his preparation for the film that marked the beginning of his Bollywood journey.
Hrithik Roshan shares notes
Among the notes, Hrithik mentioned veteran actor Nasseruddin Shah and wrote, "One life. That's it—only one life, one chance, don't f** it up, don't give a s*** about small failures...Just keep going, don't break." Another part read, "Do it the way you want it! Cause that's the best way! One day, just believe!"
In his notes, Hrithik also reflected on his fitness goals: "Need a lot of biceps for broader upper chest also." Additionally, he detailed his approach to dialogue delivery: "No particular word is a threat, stretch out the beginning of the word or join it with the previous word."
Addressing his struggles with stuttering, he wrote, "Speech—talk without being conscious at all of stuttering...It doesn't happen anymore! It's all in the mind!" Another line read, "Trust your instinct, they won't let you down."
Sharing these insights, Hrithik captioned his post, "My notes from 27 years ago. Prepping as an ACTOR for my first movie Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. I remember how nervous I was. Still am when starting a movie. I’d be embarrassed sharing these, but after 25 years of being in the industry I guess I can handle it. Then to now, what’s changed? I see these pages and realise - absolutely nothing. Good thing? Bad thing? It’s just how it is. Only process remains."

He added, "So much to be thankful for. So much to be grateful for. So much left to do. It’s the 25th anniversary of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. And the ONLY thing I want to celebrate are these scribbles in my rough book. Only thing I am relieved about is the proof of resilience. The first page says 'one day' at the bottom. No such day happened, it never came. Or maybe it did but I missed it cause I was in prep. #25yearsofkahonaapyaarhai."
