During the 90s, Bollywood witnessed the era of legendary actors like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgan, and Aamir Khan, who reigned supreme with their exceptional performances and magnetic on-screen presence. However, in the early 2000s, the landscape of Hindi cinema transformed as two young talents made a stunning entry and became instant sensations with the success of their debut film. These remarkable actors were none other than Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel.

In a time when Bollywood films were not known for extravagant budgets, the makers of “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” took a daring leap by investing a significant 10 crore rupees in two debutants. Produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) and directed by the renowned Rakesh Roshan, the movie showcased YRF’s faith in these newcomers and it paid off handsomely as Hindi cinema discovered its next superstar in Hrithik Roshan. “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” marked Hrithik’s grand entry into the industry and received thunderous applause from audiences in theatres. Both Hrithik and Ameesha Patel earned massive fan followings, and the film garnered an astounding 80 crore rupees at the box office.

The success of “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” surpassed mere box office numbers. In 2002, the film earned a prestigious spot in the Guinness World Record for receiving the most awards won by a feature film. With an impressive tally of 92 awards from various ceremonies and categories, the film solidified its status as a true cinematic gem. Its captivating storyline and unforgettable music left an indelible impression on the audience for years to come. Additionally, the on-screen pairing of Hrithik and Ameesha was adored and celebrated by movie enthusiasts.

Following their debut triumph, Hrithik and his father, Rakesh Roshan, continued their collaborative journey, working together on several successful films, including “Koi Mil Gaya” (2003), “Krrish” (2006), “Kites” (2010), “Krrish 3” (2013), and “Kaabil” (2017). These movies further solidified Hrithik’s position as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, and his performances were widely appreciated by critics and audiences alike.

On the professional front, Hrithik Roshan is all set to enthral audiences with his upcoming action-packed adventure thriller, “Fighter.” Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Oberoi, and Karan Singh Grover. With such an exciting lineup, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of this high-octane movie.

Meanwhile, Ameesha Patel is making headlines with her upcoming period action drama, “Gadar 2,” alongside Sunny Deol. A sequel to the blockbuster “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” released in 2001, “Gadar 2” is scheduled to premiere on August 11. Audiences are excited to witness Ameesha’s powerful performance in this much-awaited sequel.

The unforgettable debut of Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel in “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for both actors in the world of Bollywood. Their subsequent successes and the anticipation surrounding their upcoming films prove that they continue to reign as prominent figures in the industry, leaving an everlasting impact on Indian cinema.
