Exploring the notes further, Hrithik mentioned, "Need a lot of biceps for broader upper chest also. No particular word is a threat, stretch out the beginning of the word or join it with the previous word."

On another page he wrote, "Speech-talk without being conscious at all of stuttering...It doesn't happen anymore! It's all in the mind!. Trust your instinct, they won't let you down," read another line.

Hrithik recalls feeling nervous

Hrithik wrote about feeling nervous in the caption of the post. He wrote, "My notes from 27 years ago. Prepping as an ACTOR for my first movie Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. I remember how nervous I was. Still am when starting a movie. I¡¯d be embarrassed to share these, but after 25 years of being in the industry I guess I can handle it. Then to now, what¡¯s changed? I see these pages and realise - absolutely nothing. Good thing ? Bad thing ? It¡¯s just how it is. Only process remains."

Further adding, "So much to be thankful for. So much to be grateful for. So much left to do. It¡¯s the 25th anniversary of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. And the ONLY thing I want to celebrate are these scribbles in my rough book. Only thing I am relieved about is the proof of resilience. The first page says 'one day' at the bottom. No such day happened, it never came. Or maybe it did but I missed it cause I was in prep. #25yearsofkahonaapyaarhai."

The film was recently re-released in theatres to commemorate Hrithik's silver jubilee in the film business.

Rakesh Roshan directed the 2000 blockbuster, marking star Ameesha Patel's Bollywood debut.
