Roshan compliments Bidipta Chakraborty on her performances of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai and Tanhai Tanha. Bidipta then professes her admiration for his son, Hrithik Roshan.

“When Hrithik was in college, he had two options: either pursue further studies overseas or assist me in making movies,” Roshan says.

“The decision was left entirely to him, and he ultimately chose to work as my assistant. My intention was for him to go through the same difficulties that I did and learn from them,” he adds.
