What happens when two of India’s most loved superheroes meet in real life? Actor Mukesh Khanna, best known for playing Shaktimaan, recently shared a sweet story about meeting Hrithik Roshan, the star behind Krrish. The veteran actor opened up about this special moment during a conversation on Shardul Pandit’s podcast, and the story is winning hearts.
A Surprise Meeting at the Airport
Mukesh Khanna spoke warmly about an unexpected meeting he had with Hrithik Roshan at an airport. He said the moment was surprising but very touching. Recalling the incident, 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 couldn’t stop praising Hrithik’s kind nature and respectful attitude. Even though both actors played superheroes in different eras, their characters made a huge impact on Indian audiences.
Shaktimaan and Krrish: India’s Superhero Legends
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Shaktimaan was a household name. Children and adults alike were glued to their TV screens every time the show aired. Mukesh Khanna’s character taught moral lessons while fighting evil, and his message of truth and justice inspired millions.
Years later, Hrithik Roshan brought a modern superhero to the big screen with Krrish. The journey began with Koi… Mil Gaya in 2003, where Hrithik played the simple and lovable Rohit Mehra. That film introduced us to Jadoo, the friendly alien who gave Rohit superpowers. Then came Krrish and Krrish 3, where Hrithik turned into a masked superhero with thrilling stunts and a global look. Together, these characters shaped the superhero genre in India.
Krrish 4 Is Coming Soon
Fans of the Krrish series have a lot to look forward to. Krrish 4 is currently in the works, and excitement is building fast. According to Pinkvilla, Priyanka Chopra is expected to return as Priya Mehra, Hrithik’s on-screen love interest. The upcoming film promises bigger action, better visuals, and a new storyline that will take the franchise to new heights.
While working on Krrish 4, Hrithik is also busy shooting for War 2, an action-packed thriller that stars Jr. NTR alongside him. This film is part of YRF’s spy universe and is already creating buzz among fans.
Shaktimaan’s Legacy Still Lives On
Even though Shaktimaan aired years ago, the show continues to be remembered fondly by fans. Mukesh Khanna’s superhero had a strong moral compass and was seen as a role model for children. There have been talks about a Shaktimaan reboot, but no official announcements have been made yet.
Whether it’s Shaktimaan’s moral lessons or Krrish’s super-powered action, both characters hold a special place in the hearts of Indian viewers. Their rare real-life meeting was more than just a celebrity encounter—it was a moment that brought together two generations of Indian superheroes.
