John Abraham, a Bollywood heartthrob for over two decades, recently shared a humorous memory from the muhurat of his debut film, Aetbaar. The film, directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Ratan Tata, starred Amitabh Bachchan alongside John. However, his entry to the event didn’t go as smoothly as expected.
Hrithik Roshan Came to His Rescue
In a candid interview to a leading magazine, John revealed an amusing incident where he was stopped at the gates because he arrived on a motorcycle. Recalling the moment, he said, “When I went for my first muhurat shot, I went on a motorcycle. The film was Aetbaar. Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan were clapping the board for me. Hrithik and I were classmates, he is a sweetheart. I was not allowed in, because I was on a motorcycle. The gates were shut and they asked me, ‘Kaun ho?’ (Who are you?). I said, ‘The muhurut is for my film’ and they finally allowed me. As soon as they opened the gates, Amitabh Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan were gesturing at me and saying, ‘Come in’.”
