Hrithik Roshan's personal life has always been a hot topic of discussion among the gossipmongers. The actor got married to the love of his life, Sussanne Khan, with whom he has two sons, Hridhaan and Hrehaan. However, after several years of marital bliss, Hrithik and Sussanne parted ways. Cut to now, the ex-couple is living happy lives with their respective partners. Well, do you know that before Hrithik and Sussanne's wedding, the linkup rumour about the actor and Kareena Kapoor made rounds in the media? Yes! You heard it right!
Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor's linkup rumours made rounds in the media back in 2001 during the shooting of their film, Yaadein. However, a rumour made rounds that Hrithik was caught coochie-cooing with Kareena Kapoor on an aircraft, and it was just before the actor got married to his childhood sweetheart, Sussanne Khan. In an interview with Subhash K Jha, Hrithik talked about the same.

When asked about an article claiming that he was caught with Kareena Kapoor in a plane days before his marriage, Hrithik said that such a rumour had made him super upset. The Krrish actor mentioned that he had read the article, and as per it, some air hostess had witnessed him and the actress on the plane. The actor said:
"That really upset me. Those who are respected in the media should understand their responsibilities and shouldn’t stoop to baseless gossip. I was very upset when I read Shobha De’s article about me and Kareena coochie-cooing in an aircraft. Some airhostesses were even supposed to have seen us."
Hrithik further questioned if he was that stupid to be coochie-cooing someone in a place where hundreds of people were standing in a queue for his autograph and wanting to take photos with him. Hrithik can be quoted as saying:
"Even if I was having an affair with Kareena, am I so stupid as to be coochie-cooing with her on the plane? When I’m in a plane people from the economy class form a queue to take my autograph. I spend my time standing in the cabin-crew area giving autographs and having my picture taken with others on-board. How stupid to think I’d be coochie cooing anyone with hundreds of people demanding my attention."
