In 2000, Rakesh Roshan survived an assassination attempt shortly after his son Hrithik's film debut, Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. Rakesh was shot twice, with one bullet hitting his arm and another grazing his chest. A new documentary series, The Roshans, highlights this traumatic event but does not explore the motives behind the attack. Hrithik recalls feeling initially unafraid, viewing his father as strong, until he learned of Rakesh's fear after the incident. Rakesh's family shared their mixed emotions during this time. Despite the attack, Rakesh remained focused on his son's film success, which became a symbol of resilience for the family. The series is now available on Netflix.
