Showtime magazine (June 2002) : r/BollyBlindsNGossip


While he had seen tremendous success and acclaim, the year 2002 marked a significant low point. The release of his movie "Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage" failed to resonate with audiences, and the film did not perform well at the box office.


His next few releases, including "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum" and "Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon," also struggled to make a mark. The string of unsuccessful films led to doubts about Hrithik's ability to sustain his initial success in the industry.


But this magazine cover is a bit too harsh. He bounced back soon enough, and was as resilient as ever.


Anyway, what do you guys think about this bleak period in his career?

He should take comfort that 2002 only 2 films were hits in the industry . All other successful films were just moderately successful

There are some people who are extremely good at climbing their way back up. I believe both Hrithik and Amitabh came back up after getting such covers. It can be motivating if you take it the right way and get back up out of spite to prove them wrong.

He debuted in 2000 only and the rival's PR declared him finished by 2002??

His tremendous popularity made shalukkha really insecure for him to publish this article against him.

It's 2003, not 2002

Again one of your accusations without any proof of veracity just because Hrithik got successful when SRK wasn't. These kind of media don't need SRK's pr (if he even had one) to write demeaning things...

You simply want to instigate, I suppose.

Shalukkha has done masters in communication and he started this pr game way back in 90s calling himself king khan n badshah through his media friends even when he was flopping left right n centre. He himself admitted how insecure he became after hrithik's debut?

I am telling you the facts agar tum instigate ho rahi ho toh matlab such digest nahi ho raha.

Well, dear, you tell me y o u r 'facts'... so what?

The forum is a space where many tell their facts who aren't facts but just opinions.

Yours is nothing than an accusing opinion...a judgement coming out of your dislike for SRK. It shows more what kind of person y o u are than that it says something about SRK. smiley16
