Om Prakash later gave young Hrithik his only actual speaking role as a child, directing him in the key role of Rajnikanth's adopted son in Bhagwaan Dada (1986).Paternal grandfather Roshan Lal Nagrath - the original "Roshan" - was a gifted classical musician and famous composer who as music director in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s helped define the emerging Bollywood film song. He died before Hrithik was born. But even Hrithik's grandmother - variously credited as "Ira Nagrath" and "Ira Roshan" - is herself a musician-composer who completed her husband's films at Roshan's death and continued for many years as assistant music director on her son's projects - Hrithik's uncle, multiple Filmfare Award winning composer Rajesh Roshan.Hrithik's father - Rakesh Roshan - entered the film industry as an assistant to J.

Ltd., first as producer and later director.Meanwhile Hrithik graduated from Mumbai's prestigious Bombay Scottish School and took a Bachelor of Commerce degree first class from Sydenham College. He turned down a UCLA master's degree scholarship to enter films. To learn the craft of film from the ground up, from Khel (1992) through Koyla (1997) Hrithik toiled as a largely uncredited assistant on the family's film projects, gradually progressing from such unglamorous tasks as set-sweeping, tea-fetching, or clapper-loading up to a major role in story development, camera, direction, and editing. All the while Hrithik studied acting, dance, martial arts, and even bodybuilding (having always been hopelessly thin) to prepare himself to become a film actor.14 January 2000: Hrithik Roshan's resultant debut film, Kaho Naa ... Pyaar Hai, not only firmly established Hrithik as dramatic hero, romantic hero, and action hero, but actually revolutionised the Hindi film industry in significant ways.Through unparalleled work ethic and sheer honesty, talent, and commitment as an actor, Hrithik has parlayed the natural gift of symmetrical features and a tall athletic frame into hitherto unimaginable standards. He effectively redefined the Hindi film hero. Short, fat, ugly guys no longer need apply. Likewise, actors with limited dramatic range, or those lacking commitment to work. Lead actors would now have to act and dance and fight for themselves as never before. Existing stars either adapted to the new standard, as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan did, or went into decline, such as Govinda.In the years since Kaho Naa ... Pyaar Hai Hrithik has never looked back, always continually pushing himself in new directions. Thus he has achieved critical, commercial, and award-winning success with roles as diverse as a charming but brain-damaged child-adult, Koi ... Mil Gaya (2003), an enigmatic master thief, Dhoom 2 (2006), a quadriplegic, Guzaarish (2010), India's first film superhero, Krrish (2006), and even the moghul emperor Akbar the Great himself, Jodhaa Akbar (2008).Hrithik married his childhood sweetheart and longtime girlfriend, successful interior designer and businesswoman Sussanne Khan (herself from a Hindi film clan), in December 2000.

Tivia:
On January 14 2000 Hrithik Roshan entered a cinema to attend the premiere of his first film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). When he came in some people recognised him but not much happened. When the film was over there was a stampede and mass hysteria broke out. He got mobbed. The police had to come and escort him out of the cinema and away from a crowd of thousands. It was the first day of Hrithikmania in India, which held the country in its grip for many months to come.Fought hard to overcome a stammering problem.At the age of 21, he was diagnosed with scoliosis and was told that he would never be able to dance. He was also told that he would never be able to do all the things a Bollywood hero was required to do. To top it, he had a stammering problem. But Hrithik fought hard. He overcame his stammering problem with regular speech therapy, read up on all material he could find on scoliosis and finally built up his physique and stamina to the extent that he was considered to be one of the fittest actors around by the time of his debut.The sense of smell is supposed to act as the most powerful memory trigger. Hrithik uses this in a unique way. He uses a different cologne for each character he plays and then never uses it again. So if he has to draw upon the memories of playing a particular character, the specific cologne helps him focus.Has two thumbs on his right hand that are grown together.Prepared himself extensively for his screen debut, taking acting, singing, dancing, fencing, riding etc. lessons for years. He also worked hard on his diction and physical appearance (strenuous workout routines).He is a registered eye donor.Was catapulted overnight to instant superstardom with debut hit film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000).He's a Rubik's cube aficionado - his personal record is 8 minutes.Worked for many years on the sets of his father Rakesh Roshan in various functions, including sweeping the floor and serving tea to the stars, to learn the business from scratch.His looks get him worldwide attention - he was in the Top 5 in a worldwide poll on 'Most Handsome Faces'. He's also won the 'Sexiest Asian Man' title three times in a row, as well as the title of 'Sexiest Father'.Hrithik is a huge superhero fan - and while he admires Batman and Ironman, his favorite hero is Superman.He is ambidextrous.Like many other young children, he was obsessed with action figures and toy models of cars. He would get so involved in his own world while playing that he would lose track of time. One day his entire family was in an uproar as he couldn't be found anywhere. After hours of fruitless searching and on the brink of calling the police, his parents found him sitting on the floor underneath the bed, playing with his figures and completely oblivious to the chaos outside.When a crucial scene in Jodhaa Akbar needed him to perform alongside an elephant, he built up the camaraderie with her by feeding her bananas daily for close to two months.He is a certified sea diver.He is widely regarded as the best dancer in Bollywood. His signature moves in songs like Ek Pal Ka Jeena, Dhoom Again and Bang Bang have become cult classics. He has also experimented with many different dance styles including hip-hop for Kites, contemporary for Guzaarish and salsa for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara.Hrithik played a dubbing artist in Kaabil and carried all the voice mimicry himself. He dubbed in a total of 6 voices in the film.Bang Bang was the first Indian film to introduce the sport of flyboarding as a stunt. However, in the process of executing this stunt, Hrithik suffered an injury which led to a subdural haematoma. It wasn't caught in the initial CT scan and thus the blood continued to build up within the cerebral membranes and kept putting pressure on his brain. Finally, after two months of acute headaches, another check was carried out. This exposed the clot, and necessitated emergency brain surgery.When his statue was created at Madame Tussaud's gallery in 2011, he was the youngest Bollywood celeb to be featured there.Kaho Na Pyaar Hai has an entry in Limca Book of Records for the most awards won by a single film.A stunt gone wrong during the shoot of Krrish in Singapore was almost catastrophic. He was suspended from the side of a skyscraper with cables when they snapped and sent him hurtling down towards the pavement almost eighty feet below. Thankfully he fell on the canopy of a shop which was put up just minutes earlier due to rain.When Facebook reached the milestone of 1 billion active users, the company released a video commemorating the fact. Hrithik was the only Indian featured in that video.As a young child, he was fascinated with the way gravity changed the trajectory of objects falling from a height. Unfortunately the way he used to observe this effect was by throwing empty beer bottles down from the building terrace on to unsuspecting passerby's. Needless to say they weren't happy at all. And neither was his father.Came in on number 9 on a Bollywood power list released in December 2003, and on number 4 among actors (behind Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan).Hrithik has the honour of being an insatiable foodie as well as a complete health nut. The discipline he keeps himself under results in him being able to binge eat without suffering any effects. However, he was a very fussy eater in childhood. His refusal to eat meant many moments of exasperation for his father.Many Indian actors have attempted to play superheroes on screen but Hrithik's Krrish is the only which was successful and spawned its own franchise.Hrithik is a regular contributor to various charities and has even set up his own Foundation to help with the finances of paraplegic people since Guzaarish. He also takes care of the educational needs of the children of his staff.He was selected as the face of Hong Kong tourism in 2004 to leverage on his appeal and the high number of visitors from India.He is the only actor to have received the awards for both Best Debut and Best Actor at all awards ceremonies.He was passionate about extreme cycling. He even participated in the state level BMX championship at the under-15 level. His mom surprised him by showing up for the competition even though nobody in his family knew about him participating.In his spare time, he is either working out, reading or his personal favorite - doing absolutely nothing.Grandmother Ira Nagrath was a music director in films.Two of his films have amusement park rides modeled after them - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Krrish. For the Krrish ride in Dubai, Hrithik was personally involved in the concept development until the final stages.He had multiple disguises during Dhoom 2. Each disguise took around 6 hours to set up.He worked with South Indian Superstar Rajnikanth at the age of 10 in the film 'Bhagwan Dada'.He represented 'Good Health and Wellbeing' as part of the 'Global Goals for Sustainable Development' campaign by United Nations.The success of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai made New Zealand, the setting of the second half of the movie, a major tourist destination. He was felicitated by the New Zealand government for increasing the tourist footfall in the country.Hrithik has been writing poetry in his spare time since childhood. He wrote his first poem at the age of 11.The highest number of views any video featuring Hrithik has received is the music video 'Dheere Dheere'. It was created in collaboration with the music label T-Series and has over 200 million views.Hrithik Roshan notably turned down Dil Chahta Hai, Swades, Lagaan, Main Hoon Na, Bunty Aur Babli, and Rang De Basanti, all which became blockbuster films.He has played the most number of disabled characters in mainstream commercial cinema and done so successfully.The character of Raj in Kaho Na Pyar Hai and the character of Rohit in Koi Mil Gaya were diametrically opposite.

| Quotes: |
(2000): "I am glad I have the intelligence to understand what is happening to me. If I allow myself to get affected by all this hype, I'll stunt my growth as an actor and be damned for life. I know that I still have a long way to go before I can even aspire to equal the achievements of any of the superstars. I know I am good at my job, and I am sure I will be damn good one day but right now, I also know how bad I can be."

(February 2006): My big dream is to take our cinema to a world platform. The idea of acting in a Jackie Chan film doesn't excite me. That's betrayal.
<br />
<hr>
(July 2006): One mistake we always make is to ape the West. We attempt films that we think they will like. The true crossover films are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2003) and Life Is Beautiful (2000), where the director goes entirely by his conviction, culture, community and conditioning. I am hoping, not just for me and my father and family, but for Indian cinema that Krrish (2006) will succeed, so we can envision an even bigger extravaganza. We want to afford that freedom to take our cinema higher. I believe we are very close now to getting noticed on a world platform.

(June 2010 -- Q on dance and acting) I am an actor and dance is one of the things I do, one of the expressions of my acting. Like sometimes I have a tear in my eye, sometimes I say fast dialogues, sometimes I jump off buildings, and sometimes I dance. If one expression is appreciated more than the other, then that's somebody's point of view. I don't consider dance my forte. I do it like I do everything else -- struggle to make it my best.

[recalling, in 2009 as an adult and successful actor, his childhood battle to overcome a crippling stammer] I suffered with a speech problem, and it took me a long, long, long time. It's been the hardest kind of struggle for someone who wants to be an actor. But I got the help at the right time, and now I'm -- here. So miracles do happen! I want to tell all the families out there, the children who are struggling and living without hope, to just believe enough -- and look at me. You can change your life! |
