As Netflix dropped the docuseries ‘The Roshans’, actor Hrithik Roshan in its final episode recalled the time his father Rakesh Roshan was shot by the underworld in broad daylight. For those unversed, Hrithik became a star overnight with the success of his debut film ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’. However, a week after its release in January 2000, Rakesh was shot with two bullets while leaving his office. He somehow drove himself to the hospital and recovered.

The final episode of ‘The Roshans’ shows archive footage of Hrithik Roshan speaking after the incident. He states, “As you all know, in the past few weeks, my family has been through a lot. My father, who has always believed in doing good work, was recently attacked by unknown assailants. I was losing faith in people, in goodness, in the world. I saw no point in all the hard work that we people put in. Basically, nothing made sense. I just wanted to quit before things had even begun for me… I’m up here this evening to let people know that no matter how much some people might want to put us down, we will rise. We believe in one thought, that the show must go on.”
