Sooraj Pancholi Recalls Working With Hrithik Roshan In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish

When asked about working in Guzaarish with Hrithik Roshan, Sooraj Pancholi said, “We interacted very few times, actually. The only time we really connected was when we were in Goa. That’s where we had more time during the setup, and things were a bit more relaxed and delayed, giving the actors a chance to sit, rest, and chat. We were shooting songs there, so there weren’t any dialogues to focus on, which made it easier to bond. We mostly connected over fitness.”

Adding further, he said, “At that time, I really wanted a physique like his, so I kept asking him, ‘Sir, how long do you train for?’ or ‘Who’s your trainer?’ I was trying to get some of his secrets—watching what he ate, what his guy (I think his name was Shushil) was preparing for him, what kind of protein shake he was drinking, what workouts he was doing. It was kind of cute, looking back. He always called me ‘Champ.’ Even now, whenever he meets me, he’s really warm and kind. I recently saw him at Hakim Aalim Sir’s birthday party, and he was just as warm and friendly. I really hope to work with him someday.”
