What happens when two of India’s most loved superheroes cross paths in real life? Well, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has the answer. The iconic Shaktimaan actor recently shared an unforgettable moment with Bollywood’s superhero, Hrithik Roshan. During a chat on Shardul Pandit’s podcast, Khanna opened up about an unexpected airport encounter with Hrithik that left him both surprised and touched.
Hrithik Roshan’s Sweet Gesture Left Mukesh Khanna Smiling
The actor recalled Hrithik’s grounded nature and his kind acknowledgment of both their iconic roles in Indian superhero history. Khanna shared, “I love Hrithik Roshan very much; he is a genuine person. Once we met at an airport, and he told me that now India’s two superheroes, Krrish and Shaktimaan, are standing together.”
The actor described the meeting as “unexpected but very special,” praising Hrithik’s warmth and respectful attitude. This wholesome moment was more than just a celebrity meet-up. While Hrithik soared as Krrish, giving the genre a stylish, global touch, Mukesh Khanna’s Shaktimaan was a cultural phenomenon during the late ’90s and early 2000s. Though decades apart, both characters became household names and continue to capture the audience’s hearts.
