MUMBAI MIRROR (July 3, 2019)

Hrithik Roshan may have got to showcase his skills to the masses with his launch vehicle Kaho Na Pyaar Hai in 2000, but the 45-year-old actor’s first audience was Madhuri Dixit. On Monday, Hrithik shot for a guest turn on the reality show Dance Deewane, which features the actress as one of the judges.

During the shoot, Madhuri who was the leading lady of Rakesh Roshan’s Koyla, revealed that the actor had worked on the film as an assistant director. “One day, I had gone to Rakesh ji’s house for a narration and saw Hrithik rehearsing something in front of the mirror,” she said, adding that when he was done, she broke into an appluase.

During the show, the duo performed on the Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai title song, “Ghagra” and the Koyla track “Ghoongte Mein Chanda”. A contestant’s performance on Hrithik’s biggest hit from his debut, “Ek Pal Ka Jeena” made the actor nostalgic. “I am happy to see that the song is still trending,” he exclaimed, rounding off his turn on the show by shaking a leg with the young contestants.
