Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has previously opened up about the time when he mortgaged many of his assets<\/a> <\/strong>while making his directorial debut Khudgarz. At the time, Rakesh was already an actor and a producer but was not finding the success he dreamed of, so, he decided to direct. In a new interview, Rakesh\u2019s daughter Sunaina shared that since he had mortgaged a lot of assets for Khudgarz, there was a big chance that the family could have lost everything.<\/p>\n

In a chat with Pinkvilla, Sunaina said that while the family was driving to the premiere of Khudgarz, her mother asked Rakesh what would happen if the film flopped. \u201cAnd Dad was like, \u2018I will be on the road\u2019. So me and my brother just looked at each other and we were like\u2026 We didn\u2019t still understand what that meant but we were like, we will be on the road,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

Sunaina said that things worked out for them, but a few years later, he was ready to bet it all again for Hrithik Roshan<\/a>\u2019s debut film, Kaho Naa Pyar Hai. \u201cFor Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, he mortgaged everything, he is a risk taker so he mortgaged everything and luckily, it did well,\u201d she said. Sunaina said that since she was a teenager during Khudgarz, she didn\u2019t know much about the business, but she learnt that during Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, all of Rakesh\u2019s assets were on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, I know he mortgaged his house, his office, his cars, everything. It must have been very hard on my mother and my father, and not letting the children know,\u201d she said. Kaho Naa Pyar Hai was an instant success and turned Hrithik into a star. A week after the film\u2019s release, Rakesh Roshan was shot on the street<\/a> <\/strong>but he survived the attack. In an earlier chat with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh had claimed the underworld had orchestrated this attack because they wanted Hrithik to work in a film financed by them. \u201cI never gave any indication that Hrithik could do a film for them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sunaina said that Rakesh always taught them to live below their means so even if they encounter tough times, they can get through. \u201cHe always taught me and my brother to live below our means. (He said) Tomorrow, if you don\u2019t have the luxuries in life, I don\u2019t want you to miss it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
