However, did you know that he lost most of the dance competitions during his childhood to none other than Aditya Chopra? Yes, you read that right! In the new OTT docu-series, ‘The Romantics’, Karan Johar recalled attending birthday parties as a kid. The director revealed that he did not enjoy going to the birthday parties so much. He would go once a year to his birthday party and there were a group of kids, they were all fans of Adi. He was their team leader and they would all speak a certain kind of Hindi film language that he was pretending to not like. So Karan would go home and tell his mom that he is not going back and that they are too filmy for him.
Abhishek Bachchan chipped in and added that there were also dance competitions at the parties. The dance competition was the domain of two people, two rivals, two opposite sides of style. Karan revealed that surprisingly, it was Aditya Chopra who won every dance competition, year after year. The one who was number two to him was Hrithik Roshan!
Abhishek added that the minute Hrithik and Adi walked into the party they would be looking at each other with that stare, it was almost like a Western showdown.
Spilling some more beans about the same, Hrithik said that Aditya’s dances were pretty amazing. According to him, sometimes it didn’t even look much like dancing but it was very amazing to watch. The superstar added that Adi had some kind of self-confidence that came from somewhere inside.
