Rakesh Roshan fired on Rakesh Roshan
At one time Rakesh came under target of the underworld on Roshan. On 21 January 2000, two Budish gang members opened fire on Rakesh Roshan on Tilak Road in Santa Cruz, Mumbai.
Rakesh fell on the ground and the attackers fled from the spot. The accused were later identified as Sunil Vithal Gaikwad and Sachin Kamble. This attack was not done to kill Rakesh, but to show that Shiv Sena could no longer protect its clients. Rakesh had rejected the demand of Budish to give a part of the foreign earnings of his hit film ‘Kaho Na … Pyaar Hai’.
In the show of Simi Garewal about this incident, he said that he left the office at around 6.10 pm. Sitting in the car, the windscreen suddenly started breaking up. At first he felt that someone had stoned, but when he saw, two people were standing with guns and firing bullets.
He then immediately bent and asked the driver to push the car forward. Then an attacker came from the left and opened fire, which he got. Despite this, he showed courage and first called home and took information about son Hrithik’s safety.
At that time, he did not tell Hrithik much about the incident, just said that some people have fired on the car. He then alerted close friends of the family and reached the police station himself. Despite the bleeding, he first informed the police and then went to the hospital.
The photographer dropped from the group photo
Once Rakesh along with his wife Pinky, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Jitendra and his wife Shobha took an entry together in a party. There the photographer dropped Rakesh and Pinky out of the group and said – “You guys come to the side a little, we have to take their photo.” At that time Rakesh felt very bad.
Rakesh Roshan has a bungalow in Khandala, which has features such as the Olympic -shaped swimming pool, private theater and spa.
According to the report of News18, his bungalow is spread over a five -acre plot and is settled in 22,400 square feet, which costs around Rs 120 crore.
Why does Rakesh Roshan start his films with ‘K’?
Rakesh Roshan had told in ANI Podcast that the story of his films starting with ‘K’ is related to a fan.
He had told, “After the film, I had announced a film called ‘Jaga Laka Mana’. At that time fan letters used to come. A fan wrote to me that you start with your films ‘K’, because all the films started with ‘K’ are hit- like doodle, beautiful, sour sweet, family in sports, sports.”
Initially, Rakesh did not pay much attention to this. After this, he made ‘Awake Hoop Man’ and ‘Lord Dada’, but when the story of Khudarjar was handed over, he felt that this name would be good. The film was released and became a hit.
After this, the same fan again wrote that this time you obeyed me and the film went on. Rakesh said that this thing sat in his mind somewhere. Since then, he decided to start his films with ‘K’.
