On Tuesday, Roshan met members of Indian media in Mumbai. During the meeting, he expressed his gratitude to them for supporting him throughout his journey so far.

In a heartfelt speech, Roshan reflected on his career, thanking media for making him "responsible".

"25 years! I remember 25 years back when Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai was releasing. I was so shy and so anxious that I didn't do a single interview. I didn't step out of my house to do anything. I just skipped the entire promotional event... 25 years have passed and unfortunately, that side of me has not changed. I'm still as shy...This is really an excuse and an opportunity for me to say things to all of you that probably I have never said in 25 years," he said.

"I truly think that you have helped me, all of you, have helped me become the human and the actor that I am in these 25 years through our interactions. Through all the questions and answers you have made me feel made me feel uncomfortable I grew with that. Sometimes you made me feel responsible sometimes you made me feel accountable. Guys, not good for a shy guy! Guys, not good for a shy guy," Roshan added.

Roshan's words for the media evoked a loud cheer.

"It is your perceptions that you shared with the world that taught them how to see me. Thank you for that. Thank you for making me, contributing so much to my journey," he concluded.

Roshan's debut film was directed by his father, Rakesh Roshan. Now, the film will be re-released in theatres on the occasion of Roshan's birthday.
