Mumbai, Jan 10 (NationPress) As Hrithik Roshan celebrated his 52nd birthday on Saturday, television star Vivek Dahiya expressed a touching tribute to his idol, reminiscing about the enchanting experience of his debut film, “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai”.
Reflecting on 26 years since the film's release, Vivek admitted he still struggles to pick a favorite between the two unforgettable characters, Rohit and Raj, showcasing the enduring allure of Hrithik's portrayal.
Vivek took to Instagram to share a nostalgic video from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11, featuring him rehearsing the title track.
In his caption, Vivek wrote: “It’s been 26 years, and I still can’t decide which character I cherished more, Rohit or Raj? Achieving that impact as a newcomer was exceptional.”
The actor also noted that he too embraced the trend of rimless glasses after being inspired by Hrithik in the film.
“No debut has matched the grandeur of Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’. As a class eight student when it premiered, I also joined in sporting those rimless glasses and those unforgettable side-locks! Ever since, you’ve continually inspired us with your remarkable performances.”
Vivek concluded his tribute: “This journey has been particularly special thanks to my incredible choreographer, @lipsa893, whose birthday coincides with Hrithik's. Honoring Hrithik’s legacy and the fantastic memories we've shared. Happy birthday to both, and here’s to countless more magical moments!”
Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai is both directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan, marking the film debut for Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel.
The film also features a talented ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Dalip Tahil, Mohnish Bahl, Ashish Vidyarthi, Satish Shah, Farida Jalal, Asha Patel, Rajesh Tandon, and Tannaz Irani.
