#CatchFlashBack: When Hrithik Roshan couldn't stand comparisons with Shah Rukh Khan

Hrithik Roshan debuted in Bollywood with dad Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai and became an overnight star. The film did tremendously well at the Box Office and Hrithik-Ameesha's on-screen chemistry became the talk of the town.

The actor's popularity rose to an extent that rumours had it that Hrithik was soon going to dethrone Shah Rukh Khan from his numero uno position in Bollywood.

Hrithik, on the other hand just couldn't stand these rumours and openly criticised them. In an interview to a popular glossy, he expressed how irked he felt with such rumours and said:

"I'm sick and tired of screaming that I'm not that good. That I've received more than I deserve. And for God's sake, please don't compare me with Shah Rukh Khan. Anyway, everyone will know the truth once a few more films of mine are released.
