A dream full of risk
Before becoming a top director and producer, Rakesh Roshan had a good acting career. But his real test took place when he wanted to launch Hrithik. In his interview with NEWS18, Sunaina Roshan said, “We were very young to understand, especially when Dad started his acting career. As a producer, he pledged his house twice, and ‘Kaho Na Piyar Hai’ and ‘Kho Na Piyar Hai’ and ‘Khudagarj’. Cars and office during ‘Kaho Na Piyar Hai’ and ‘Khudgagarj’. He used to gamble with his life, but he was a very gambling.”
At that time, Sunaina and Hrithik were just children. She remembers how she was completely unaware of stress that she was under her father. He said, “We never knew that side because he never showed us what we were doing. The childhood of both my brother and I was very peaceful,” he said.
No sign of trouble at home
Sunaina shared that even though Rakesh Roshan was carrying huge financial burden, he never let it affect her domestic life. He said, “We never had to deal with the people who talked about our background because the time was very different. Then there was no social media, thankfully, and Dad did not make it big,” he said.

Hrithik detected the truth much later. He only realized how much was at stake during disagreement with his father while working on ‘Kaho Na … Pyaar Hai’. The scene is described in the documentary ‘The Roses’. Hrithik said, “I always saw the glass half-fold. I did not correct two or three scenes because I was handling it. And foreign prints had already been sent. So, I came to my father, really upset, ‘How can you let it go?’ And I think for the first time my father gave it back. And that night I came to know, my mother told me that the house was pledged, the cars were mortgaged … I realized how much it was at stake. “
