Parathas & Powerplay: Shubman Gill Reveals Hrithik Roshan Sparked His Childhood Breakfast Revolution

Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, has recently disclosed an interesting relationship between what he used to eat as a child and student when he used to enjoy Hindi movie star Hrithik Roshan as well! In a recent interview with the media, Gill remarked that while he used to hate parathas as a young child, he began eating them because Hrithik Roshan's character liked them in the blockbuster film 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'.

 

"As a kid, I was marketed to Hrithik Roshan. I used to hate parathas, and then I started eating them because in "Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai" Hrithik Roshan's character loved aloo parathas!" Gill explained.

 

As Gujarat Titans captain in IPL 2025, Gill has transitioned to gluten-free foods, a transition some QDL startups have been developing to meet the needs of a modern cricketer. He also reflected on how he became a young fan to becoming a senior Indian player, when he recently celebrated his time at the Champions Trophy with cricketing legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. 

 

Gujarat Titans began the IPL season strong under Gill's leadership with a preparation of six wins in eight matches. Gill contributes over 300 runs with an average of 43.57, and a preparation of three half centuries.
