On
the
occasion
of
20
years
of
Koi...Mil
Gaya,
Rekha
reminisces
about
collaborating
with
filmmaker
Rakesh
Roshan
and
co-star
Hrithik
Roshan,
while
reliving
the
nostalgia
of
the
cult
classic
film.
Rekha
was
seen
portraying
the
role
of
Hrithik
Roshan's
mother
in
2003
sci-fi
film
Koi...Mil
Gaya.
The
actress
presented
to
the
audience
the
character
of
Sonia
Mehra,
a
new
age
working
mother,
who
was
well
educated,
deeply
sensitive
and
an
epitome
of
strength.
Rekha's
stellar
act
garnered
rave
reviews
and
appreciation
from
the
audience.
Koi...Mil
Gaya
was
also
awarded
the
National
Film
Award
for
Best
Film
on
other
social
issues.
Speaking
about
the
Director
-
Producer
Rakesh
Roshan,
Rekha
shares,
"Rakesh
Roshan,
one
of
the
most
prolific
directors
of
our
times,
produced
and
directed
one
of
the
most
prolific
films
of
our
times...
'Koi...
Mil
Gaya
'!
Today
after
20
years,
he
is
re-releasing
this
film
in
theaters
all
over
India,a
feat
nobody
has
dared
to
even
think
of
achieving
in
times
of
today
,when
theater
release
is
a
distant
dream
for
most
filmmakers.
But
for
Gudduji,
as
I
address
him,
it
is
normal
to
accomplish
the
impossible,
to
catch
dreams
from
the
clouds
and
translate
them
to
reality;
to
beautiful,
sensitive,
heart
wrenching
films...
Koi...
Mil
Gaya,
a
case
in
point,
a
timeless
blockbuster,
an
embodiment
of
the
Navrasas'
of
life,
encapsulating
super
human
capabilities,
adventurous
and
boundless!"
Further
adding,
"Gudduji
is
very
Indian
at
heart,
proud
of
his
culture
and
traditions,
but
thinks
world
and
is
way
ahead
of
his
times
and
has
deep
rooted
faith
in
the
craft
itself...films
have
always
been
his
first
love.
He
has
an
exceptional
sense
of
music..like
his
father
Roshan
Sahab'
and
his
brother
Rajesh
Roshan.
He
is
subtle
at
expression,
the
Indian
woman
for
him,
is
the
original
super
woman,
an
embodiment
of
Devi
Maa',
who
has
many
hands
and
is
multitasking,
a
representation
of
the
woman
of
today!
I
have
a
deep
connect
with
Gudduji's
vision
and
so
also
with
the
characters
I
have
played
in
his
films,
be
it
Koi
Mil
Gaya,
Krrish'
or
Khoon
Bhari
Maang.
It
is
a
rare
combination
for
an
actor
to
also
excel
at
direction!
The
one
person
I've
grown
up
admiring
is
Raj
Kapoor
Sahab
and
Gudduji
I
must
say
has
also
proven
his
mettle
as
a
director."
Talking
about
Hrithik
Roshan,
Rekha
says,
"Duggu
(Hrithik)
is
a
fine
artiste
and
Koi...Mil
Gaya'
is
testimony
to
his
range
of
talent.
With
Duggu
I
share
a
bond,
he
was
born
in
front
of
Me!
Hence
in
our
scenes
together,
there
was
an
intensity,
emotion
and
a
certain
natural
ease
which
raised
the
scenes
to
the
level
of
reality!
And
to
those
who
care
for
cinema,
once
more
we
take
you
back
to
our
roots,
to
simplicity,
to
faith,
and
most
of
all
to
unconditional
love
!
If
you
have
a
dream,
just
look
up
to
the
sky
and
give
it
to
the
stars,
And
the
Universe
will
make
it
happen
...!!!
That
I
know
for
sure,
That's
what
we
did
in
KOI...MIL
GAYA'!!!
