EXCLUSIVE: Rakesh Roshan reveals why Salman Khan didn’t feature in The Roshans; looks back at being ‘troubled’ by Salman and Shah Rukh Khan on Karan Arjun sets: “Every morning, I used to pray to God that ‘Today, I should not lose my cool’”

The lovely documentary The Roshans dropped on Netflix and has been received love from all quarters. The show has been loved for its treatment, star value and because it speaks about not-so-known aspects of the late Roshans, his talented sons Rakesh Roshan and Rajesh Roshan and his dashing actor grandson, Hrithik Roshan. In an exclusive interaction with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh Roshan spoke about the show and being troubled by Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan during the making of Karan Arjun (1995).

In The Roshans, Shah Rukh Khan can be heard saying, “We harassed Rakesh ji a lot because both of us were naughty and troublemakers. Pinkie ji scolded me a lot saying, ‘You’re troubling Guddu a lot. I didn’t expect this from you’. Between Salman and me, main thoda shareef tha. At least on the face of it! I replied, ‘I didn’t do anything. It’s all his doing’. So, we were two young kids, troubling a father figure.”

We asked Rakesh Roshan whether he got angry when Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan were upto mischief. Rakesh Roshan set the record clear by stating, “It’s not like they were not co-operating. They used to play pranks and it became too much. Hence, other actors also joined them. As a result, when I would go for a take, nobody was in sync. I had to bring everybody in sync. But I guess it happened as they were youngsters and were having fun. They decided to do masti but in the process, things took a turn for the worse and other actors also joined them. They would tell me, ‘We’ll do that way’ while I would insist, ‘But I want it this way’.”

Rakesh Roshan continued, “They were doing it only to make me angry. But the best part is that I never got angry. Every morning, I used to pray to God that ‘Today, I should not lose my cool’. And until the very end of the shoot, I never lost my cool (smiles).”

While Shah Rukh Khan can be extensively seen in The Roshans, Salman Khan is conspicuous by his absence. When asked about it, Rakesh Roshan revealed, “I did call him up 4-5 times but I guess he was stuck in some issues. Hence, I didn’t force him (to appear in the documentary).”
