In honour of renowned director Yash Chopra, YRF’s heritage, and its influence on Indian popular culture over the past 50 years, the much awaited Netflix docuseries ‘The Romantics’ premiered today. The four-part docuseries stars Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Karan Johar, and others. The Romantics’ second episode featured a conversation between Karan Johar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Hrithik Roshan discussing the first time they ever met Aditya Chopra when they were young, as well as how Aditya Chopra would consistently win dancing competitions back then.
When Karan Johar met Aditya Chopra as a youngster, he claimed that he did not like him at all. KJo said, “I used to go once a year at this birthday party and a group of kids, they were all fans of Adi. Like, Adi was their team leader. And they all spoke in a certain kind of Hindi film language that I was pretending to not like. So I would go home and tell my mom, ‘I’m not going back. They’re too filmy for me,’” said KJo. He also said that Aditya Chopra would win ‘every dance competition year after year after year’. “And who was number two to him? Hrithik Roshan.” Karan Added.
Whereas Abhishek Bachchan also talked about Aditya Chopra and Hrithik Roshan’s dance face off. “Hrithik and Aditya Chopra would compete against one another in dancing contests at birthday parties” said Abhishek Bachchan. “When we had birthday parties, there was the inevitable dance competition, and the dance competition was the domain of two people. Two rivals. Two opposite sides of style. The minute they’d walk into the party, they’d just be looking at each other with that stare. It was almost like a Western showdown.” Abhishek added.
Aditya Chopra’s dance moves, in the opinion of Hrithik Roshan, were quite outstanding. “I find it fantastic. What transpired is unknown to me. He was meant to mature and perform those actions,” remarked Hrithik.
Meanwhile, Smriti Mundhra, who has been nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy and is the creator of popular shows including Indian Matchmaking and Never Have I Ever, is the director of ‘The Romantics’.
