Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone will soon be seen together in Sidharth Anand’s film Fighter. But before reuniting on screen the two stars are battling a social media war after IMDb put up an interesting question asking fans, who in their opinion had the best debut ever in Indian movies.
The battle had many contenders which zeroed down to two ultimate choices – Hrithik Roshan for Kaho Na…Pyar Hai and Deepika Padukone for Om Shanti Om. While HR made his debut in the year 2000 stealing away every award and making a Limca record for the same, DP made her debut in the year 2007 with Om Shanti Om.
Hrithik Rohan and Deepika Padukone were hailed for their respective debuts at awards, events, and Box Office. Hrithik Roshan won the male debut as well as the Best Actor award for Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai in most of the award shows. DP on the other hand had competitors in Jiah Khan, Hansika Motwani, and Sonam Kapoor.
Trending
In a Twitter post going viral, IMDb asked, “Which actor do you think had the best debut ever in Indian movies?” Fans started naming their favorite actors which included Dulquer Salmaan to Jaya Bachchan. Age and language was no bar in the thread. But most retweets came for replies which had the Chhapaak actress and the Jodha Akbar actor as the clear winner.
Interestingly Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s debut years had a common string. 2000 was the same year when Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor also made their debuts with Refugee. Talking about Deepika Padukone’s debut in the year 2007, she made a dream debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The same year, Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor made their debuts with Saawariya.
Now coming to netizens voting for their favourite debut, a user wrote, “Alia, Deepika, Hrithik. There may be others, but i can remember these 3, becoz their career graph went up and they still r maintaining their position after their break.”
Another user commented, “Deepika Padukone for om shanti om…it was clear from the first movie that she is a big star.”

When there’s Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan there needs to be a Shah Rukh Khan. A user commented, “SRK Sir’s Debut in Deewana. His Style, Charm, Performance, and the way he presented himself in front of the camera with full Confidence is so Amazing. He makes an entry in the 2nd half but still manages to steal the show and our hearts.
