About
HRITHIK ROSHAN
Hrithik Roshan, born on January 10, 1974, is a celebrated Indian actor renowned for his versatile roles and exceptional dancing skills in Hindi cinema. As one of India's highest-paid actors, Roshan has amassed numerous accolades, including six Filmfare Awards, four of which were for Best Actor. Since 2012, he has been a regular on Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list, reflecting his substantial income and widespread popularity.
Hrithik Roshan's career is closely tied to his father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan. He began with brief roles as a child actor in the 1980s and later assisted in directing four of his father's films. His debut as a lead actor came with the blockbuster "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" (2000), which earned him widespread acclaim and several awards. His performances in "Fiza" (2000) and "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham..." (2001) further established his reputation, despite a few subsequent films not faring well.
The science fiction film "Koi... Mil Gaya" (2003) marked a significant turning point in Roshan's career, earning him two Filmfare Awards. He reprised his role as a superhero in its sequels, "Krrish" (2006) and "Krrish 3" (2013). His portrayal of diverse characters in films like "Dhoom 2" (2006), "Jodhaa Akbar" (2008), and "Guzaarish" (2010) showcased his versatility and garnered critical acclaim. Roshan continued to achieve commercial success with films such as "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" (2011), "Agneepath" (2012), "Super 30" (2019), and action-packed hits like "Bang Bang!" (2014) and "War" (2019).
Beyond acting, Roshan has made significant contributions to stage performances and television. He was the highest-paid TV star in India for his role as a judge on the dance reality show "Just Dance" (2011). He also ventured into entrepreneurship by launching his casual wear brand HRx in 2013.
Hrithik Roshan's personal life has been equally eventful. He married Sussanne Khan in December 2000, and they have two sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan. Although they separated in 2013 and divorced in 2014, they maintained an amicable relationship. In 2016, Roshan was involved in a legal dispute with actress Kangana Ranaut, which was eventually dismissed due to a lack of evidence. As of 2023, he is in a relationship with actress Saba Azad.
Despite facing challenges, including a misdiagnosed health condition and a major controversy involving false accusations of anti-Nepal remarks, Roshan's resilience and dedication have defined his journey. His early struggles with stammering and a fused thumb, which made him feel isolated as a child, were overcome through determination and hard work.
Roshan is celebrated not only for his on-screen charisma but also for his humanitarian efforts and endorsements. He supports various charitable causes, including the Dilkhush Special School and has set up a foundation for handicapped individuals. He has also been a brand ambassador for numerous products and companies, further cementing his status as a leading figure in the entertainment industry.
