Duggu ( as he’s known) was assisting on the film. SRK had told me then that the boy was being primed for stardom.
A lot has changed since then. The world has shrunk. Hrithik Roshan became a superstar of stars. All in the blink of a showbiz flash. Somehow he still seems like that beautiful boy of 23.
