For any debutante, receiving recognition from an idol is a dream come true. For Kriti Sanon, that dream manifested in a late-night phone call from none other than Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan following the release of her first film, Heropanti. This heartfelt anecdote, revealed by Kriti in a candid chat, highlights the gracious side of the industry and the emotional impact of early career validation.

The 2 AM Congratulatory Surprise

Kriti Sanon, who recently appeared on the chat show Two Much with Twinkle and Kajol, opened up about her fan-girl moment. She confessed that Hrithik Roshan was the only celebrity whose posters adorned the walls of her room growing up. The admiration was clearly mutual.

Kriti revealed that after the release of her 2014 debut film, Heropanti, a special screening had been organized for Hrithik by her co-star, Tiger Shroff. Completely unaware of this, Kriti was asleep when her phone buzzed around 2 AM with a call from an unknown number.

“I went on Truecaller, and it said Hrithik. It took me some time to even understand he was calling,” she shared. Overwhelmed by the surprise, Kriti decided to wait until the morning to call him back, demonstrating a mix of awe and respectful hesitation. The late-night congratulatory call from her childhood idol proved to be a priceless moment of encouragement that marked the beginning of her journey in Bollywood.

Vicky Kaushal’s Childhood Fan-Challenge

The show also featured Vicky Kaushal, who shared his own endearing childhood memory of meeting the War actor. Vicky, who remains a massive fan, recalled the frenzy surrounding Hrithik’s debut film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.

As a child, Vicky learned that his father was working with the actor. When his father joked that Hrithik only met children who could perform the choreography to the hit song ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena,’ young Vicky took the challenge seriously. He practised the iconic dance steps for three days straight before finally getting to meet his hero on the set. Hrithik greeted him warmly, and they took photos, turning the challenging feat into a cherished memory that symbolizes the immense fan loyalty the star commands.

Beyond the Set: Life’s Hard Choices

The episode took a humorous turn when the actors were prompted to choose between ‘good conversations’ and ‘good sex’—a light-hearted segment that often reveals surprising priorities. While Vicky Kaushal chose the latter with a laugh, saying, “Look, conversations can happen later,” Kajol’s straightforward choice of "Good sex is more important than good conversation" split the hosts and guests into laughter.

On the professional front, Kriti Sanon is currently focused on her upcoming projects, which include the highly anticipated Tere Ishk Mein alongside Dhanush, and Cocktail 2, where she will co-star with Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Her candid sharing of these personal anecdotes humanizes the glamorous world of cinema, reminding fans that even stars are susceptible to moments of pure fan-girl excitement and awe.
