Veteran actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has been contributing to the Hindi cinema for several decades. As a filmmaker, Rakesh has helmed movies like Khudgarz, Khoon Bhari Maang, Karan Arjun and many more. He has also directed his son, actor Hrithik Roshan's movies like Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, Koi Mil Gaya, the Krrish series. The filmmaker suffered a major setback after the release of Koyla in the 90s. Hrithik once revealed that he saw tears in dad Rakesh's eyes after he 'lost all his money' due to Shah Rukh Khan-led Koyla's debacle.

During the conversation with Komal Nahta for ETC Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan got candid about the times he witnessed his father, Rakesh Roshan getting emotional. Hrithik revealed that he has experienced those moments thrice in his life.

As per the Krrish actor, the filmmaker cried on the phone after his son Hrithik's debut film, Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai released in 2000. Hrithik's father, Rakesh also got emotional when the younger actor underwent brain surgery in 2013.

Recalling the first time, Hrithik shared, "Ek aur time tha jab Koyla ke baad there was some problem in the house. (There was a time when we faced a problem in our house after Koyla had flopped.) He had lost all his money whatever he had earned. Kuch kuch he had invested woh bhi gayab ho gaye aur kisi ko paise diye the woh bhaag gaya (His invested money vanished and someone who had borrowed some amount from my father had run away)."

Koyla starred Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit as leads. The 1997 action-thriller featured late actor Amrish Puri as the main antagonist.
