What doesn't a father do for his son? Similarly, director-actor and writer Rakesh Roshan was also ready to do anything to make his son Hrithik Roshan a big star. Rakesh Roshan worked in more than 84 films between 70 and 80. But Rakesh Roshan was mostly seen in supporting roles in films. Later he took charge of direction. Then Rakesh Roshan decided to bring his son Hrithik Roshan also into films. But that period was not at all easy for Hrithik Roshan's father. Rakesh Roshan was also fatally attacked after launching his son.
Recently, during a media interaction, Rakesh Roshan surprised everyone by announcing that he is now retiring from films. Meanwhile, we want to share an old story related to him with you. In the year 2000, Rakesh Roshan made a film for his son, named 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai'. Director Rakesh Roshan had put everything at stake to make this film. He had even mortgaged his entire property.
However, Hrithik Roshan also did not disappoint his father at all. Hrithik became a star overnight with 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai'. He caught everyone's attention with one film. Ameesha Patel was also making her debut in the industry with this film. Due to the success of the film, the entire Roshan family celebrated with great enthusiasm. But some people from the underworld did the work of disturbing the atmosphere. Actually, Rakesh Roshan started receiving threats from the underworld.
In the threat, a share in the profit of the film was demanded from the underworld. But Hrithik's father had clearly refused to give him that share. On the evening of 21 January 2000, Rakesh Roshan was fatally attacked. Unidentified assailants opened fire on Rakesh Roshan outside his office at Tilak Road, Santa Cruz West, Mumbai. One bullet hit him in his left hand and two bullets touched the actor's chest.
